Brown Paper Packaging Tape, Parcel Tape for Packing & Shipping

Plastic tape is the one thing that stops a cardboard box going straight into the recycling. Brown Paper Packaging Tape changes that. Made from FSC certified gummed paper, it's completely plastic-free, so the whole parcel can be recycled together, with no peeling or sorting for your customer and a clear sustainability message on every box you send.

The water-activated adhesive does more than stick to the surface: it soaks into the fibres of the cardboard and forms a permanent bond that can't be lifted without tearing the box. That makes it tamper-evident as well as strong, ideal for securing valuable goods and heavy cartons, and it unwinds smoothly and quietly with no screech. Pair it with a gummed tape dispenser for fast, clean application on busy packing lines.

Each roll is 48mm wide by 50m long, and the natural kraft finish blends seamlessly with brown boxes for a neat, premium, artisan look that suits eco-conscious brands, subscription boxes, gift companies and anyone wanting their packaging to reflect their values. Beyond sealing, it's excellent for reinforcing seams, strapping bundles and closing heavy-duty cartons.

Made from sustainably and responsibly sourced paper, it's available as a single roll, packs of 6 and 12, full boxes of 36, and bulk packs of 72, suiting small businesses and high-volume dispatch operations alike.
