Specialty Packaging Tapes

Some cartons and packing jobs place greater demands on tape than everyday sealing applications. Larger cartons, heavier loads or different packaging material preferences can all call for a more specialised packing tape solution.


TigerPak supplies a range of options with wider tapes, heavy-duty options and alternative tape materials.

Wide Packing Tape for Larger Cartons

For larger cartons, wide packing tape can cover more of the carton seam with each strip. Our Extra Wide Packaging Tape is 75 mm wide and 30 micron thick, with a polypropylene backing and natural rubber adhesive. Its extra width can remove the need to tape a carton twice.


For more demanding applications, Extra Wide HD increases both the width and construction to 96 mm and 90 micron, making it a heavier-duty option for larger and heavier cartons.


Eco-Friendly Packaging Tape Options

Biodegradable tape offers an alternative for businesses looking to reduce their reliance on conventional plastic packaging tape. It uses a 48 mm × 50 m biodegradable film with acrylic adhesive and is verified to ASTM D5511. Please note this product is not available in SA or WA.


For businesses looking for a plastic-free option, our Kraft Paper Tape range provides a separate paper-based solution for carton sealing.


Choosing the Right Packing Tape


Start by identifying what your packing job requires beyond standard carton sealing. When comparing packing tape options, consider:

  1. Carton size: Wider tape can provide greater coverage across larger carton seams.
  2. Load demands: Heavier or more demanding cartons may require a heavier-duty tape construction.
  3. Width and thickness: Compare these separately, as a wider tape is not necessarily a thicker tape.
  4. Material: Choose between conventional plastic tape, biodegradable film and paper-based options based on your packaging requirements.
  5. Storage and transit: Consider the conditions the carton will experience after it is sealed.
  6. Application: Check that wider or specialised rolls are compatible with your dispenser or carton-sealing equipment.
