Paper tape
The paper tape has a high adhesive capacity and is a good environmentally friendly alternative. It is fast adhesive and grabs hold of the fibers from the cardboard. It can be used for closing light to medium-heavy boxes.
Paper tape gives a nice, simple expression that goes with the cardboard box. It is available in both white, brown and black and we also have a number of colored paper tapes in stock. In addition, we can dye it in many other different colors.
It has a lower breaking strength than PP and PVC tape, which means that it can be torn, so the recipient does not need to use a knife or scissors. Note for stronger sealing se our 3 application advice below, how to proper close a box with papertape.
Also available with your own print. papertape has a smooth an relative silent unwind.

Packaging guide for paper tape
For light and medium-weight boxes, it is in most cases fine to close the box in the normal way with a single piece of tape across the middle of the box and slightly down over the edge. But if the box is unstable, it is a good idea to put an extra short piece across the ends of the box (see picture below).
If you have a heavy box that you still want to use paper tape for, you can use the H-closing method instead. The box's seal becomes stronger and more stable.
As always, tape along the middle and a good distance down the edge, but then the two ends of the box are also taped (as shown in the picture). Always remember to press the ends firmly.
