PVC Carton Sealing Tape — All Sizes & Colors

Carton sealing tape is available in three main adhesive types: acrylic (clear, low-temperature performance, long shelf life, low VOC, quietest unwind), hot melt (highest tack and shear, ideal for high-throughput auto-tapers and recycled corrugated), and natural rubber (highest initial tack on dusty or cold surfaces). Each adhesive suits different operational environments and sealing requirements.

Standard widths are 2 inch (most common for general sealing) and 3 inch (heavy-duty or extra security applications). Thicknesses range from 1.6 mil to 3.0 mil, including 1.6, 1.9, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 mil options. Heavier mil gauges provide greater puncture resistance and are recommended for dense or heavy carton loads.

Standard roll lengths include 55 yd, 110 yd (industry standard for hand application), 132 yd, and 1,000 yd machine-length rolls designed for automatic case sealers and auto-tapers. Machine-length rolls minimize changeover frequency on high-throughput lines, reducing downtime in busy distribution and fulfillment operations.

Yes, machine-length 1,000 yd rolls are specifically designed for automatic case sealers and auto-tapers, including Wexxar, 3M-Matic, Lantech, Loveshaw, and Combi models. Hot melt adhesive tape is generally preferred for high-throughput automated sealing lines due to its superior tack and performance on recycled-content corrugated cartons.

Carton sealing tape is available in clear, tan/kraft brown, white, and assorted colors. Custom-printed tape options include company logos, 'Fragile,' 'This Side Up,' 'Inspected,' and other branded messaging. Custom-printed tape enhances brand recognition in e-commerce fulfillment, deters tampering, and communicates handling instructions throughout the shipping process.

Yes, acrylic adhesive carton sealing tape is specifically formulated for low-temperature performance, making it suitable for cold storage and freezer carton sealing applications. Natural rubber adhesive also maintains strong initial tack on cold surfaces. For best results in freezer environments, confirm the minimum application temperature rating before selecting your tape grade.
