Choosing Tapes and Sealing Products for Businesses

It’s vitally important that when making decisions for your business around tape and sealing products, the decisions you make are the right ones.

If you’re a retailer that regularly sends out packages to customers, you need a strong assortment of tapes and sealing products at your disposal to help ensure products are delivered safely and securely.

A box or package that reaches a customer in poor condition will negatively impact your credibility. In today’s age of internet reviews, businesses naturally want to be seen in a position of reliability and as a trustworthy company to shop from.

Anything negative posted online won’t do you any favours. If this does happen, and it’s in part due to poor taping, you will likely kick yourself!

Doing what you can to ensure every item reaches its destination in the desired condition can make a real difference. To do this, it’s important to select the right tape for your needs.

Find your Perfect Tape

At Macfarlane Packaging Online, we value the fact that different businesses require different things. That’s why our selection of tapes and sealing products is broad and diverse.

For simple packaging needs, we stock value and standard taping, while our premium range offers that extra level of strength and quality.

If you regularly send out items that are fragile and need to be treated with care and caution, it is a good idea to kill two birds with one stone and make this clear with printed tape. Not only can this tape keep a package secure, but it is immediately obvious to any handler that extra levels of care need to be taken.

Coloured tapes are perfect for bundling, coding and identifying goods for shipping or storage, while black cloth tape offers a strong options for large items. Rolled up carpets for example can benefit from this time of tape, while tripping hazards and cabling can be safely secured to prevent problems.

Filament tapes are extremely strong types, perfect for sealing and reinforcing. This is particularly useful if you deal with heavy boxes or container boxes.

For the environmentally-conscious, we stock gummed paper tapes. These feature a water activated adhesive, and once triggered, the tape becomes an integral part of the box or package itself. That means it’s really easy to spot if it has been tampered with during transit.

Strong Sealing Options

To provide that additional level of security, sometimes products such as polypropylene strapping and polyester strapping fit the bill.

And if you’re looking for the very highest level of security, steel strapping could be right for you – particularly if you need to send or store heavy duty items. We find these to be very popular in the construction industry.

We also offer a custom option, allowing you to personalise the tape you use and promote your brand, while we stock a wide range of equipment that can be used to get your tape and strapping exactly as you need it to be.

That’s a flavour of the range of tapes and sealing products we stock, and hopefully you can identify the right kind of product for your specific needs. If not, feel free to get in touch with one of our advisors, who can be reached via telephone on 0800 2 88 88 22 or contact us via our web form.
