Buy Packing Tape: PP, PVC, and Paper Tape
Packing tape, also known as parcel tape or carton sealing tape, provides a secure seal for boxes, shipping cartons, and packaged goods. Whether you need tape for daily e-commerce shipments, industrial packaging, warehouse operations, or moving, dm-folien offers high-quality PP, PVC, and paper packing tape in numerous designs. Learn which tape is suitable for your application and what to consider when selecting the backing material, adhesive, thickness, and processing method.
Explore our range of professional packing tape for shipping, warehousing, and industrial applications.
What Is Packing Tape?
Packing tape is a narrow, self-adhesive adhesive tape, usually made with a plastic film or paper backing. The adhesive is applied to one side, and the tape is wound onto a core to form a roll. Packing tape is primarily used to seal cardboard boxes and shipping cartons or to bundle products. The terms parcel tape, packaging tape, and carton sealing tape are also commonly used for this product group.
Applications for Packing Tape
Self-adhesive packing tape is mainly used to seal boxes and shipping cartons. It is also used as a packaging material in shipping departments, production facilities, offices, workshops, warehouses, and logistics operations. Typical users include industrial companies, retailers, skilled trades, construction businesses, horticultural companies, moving companies, and private households.
Which Packing Tape Is Suitable for Which Application?
The best tape depends on the carton weight, surface, shipping conditions, and required holding power:
- PP packing tape is generally suitable for lightweight to medium-weight cartons.
- Paper packing tape is also suitable for lightweight to medium-weight cartons. Fiber-reinforced versions provide additional strength.
- PVC packing tape is suitable for medium-weight to heavy cartons.
- Filament tape is designed for very heavy cartons, bundling, and demanding load-securing applications.
What Is Packing Tape Made Of?
The most commonly used packing tape has a PP backing made from polypropylene. PVC tape made from polyvinyl chloride and paper packing tape are also widely used.
PP packing tape is economical, tear-resistant, and easy to apply. Depending on the adhesive and release coating, it is available in quiet-unwind and noisy-unwind versions.
PVC packing tape generally offers high tear resistance, smooth handling, and strong adhesion. Versions with natural rubber adhesive usually unwind quietly and can perform well under demanding temperature conditions. Always observe the specifications of the individual product.
Paper packing tape uses a paper backing and can be a more recycling-friendly solution for sealing cartons. Whether it can be recycled together with the carton depends on its construction, adhesive, and local recycling requirements.
Match the backing, adhesive, and performance characteristics to your packaging process before you buy packing tape.
How Can I Tell PP and PVC Packing Tape Apart?
How Can You Tell the Difference Between PP and PVC Packing Tape?
PP and PVC packing tape can look very similar, making them difficult to distinguish visually. The following methods and product information can help you identify the tape material:
1. Pen Test
The pen test can provide an initial indication of whether the tape is made from PP or PVC. Carefully pierce the center of the tape with a ballpoint pen or another pointed object.
- The tape tears across its width: This usually indicates PP packing tape.
- A hole forms without the tape tearing across: This usually indicates PVC packing tape.
2. Check the Product Specifications
The safest and most reliable way to identify the material is to check the product label, packaging, technical data sheet, or product description. Do not attempt to identify the tape by burning it, as burning PVC may release harmful and corrosive fumes.
3. Stretch Test
Remove a piece of packing tape from the roll and carefully stretch it across its width.
- The tape color remains largely unchanged: This may indicate PP packing tape.
- The tape becomes lighter or changes color: This may indicate PVC packing tape.
Please note: These simple tests provide only an initial indication. Always consult the product specifications or contact the supplier for reliable material identification.
Which Widths and Lengths Are Available?
A common standard size for packing tape is 50 mm x 66 m (width x length). Narrow 12 mm tape may be used with bag sealers, while machine-applied carton sealing tape is available on longer rolls of up to 660 m or 990 m.
Our standard range includes widths from 12 mm to 75 mm. We can also supply special widths such as 9 mm, 15 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 38 mm, 40 mm, 70 mm, and 100 mm, as well as wider formats. Special roll lengths and machine rolls are available on request.
We can adapt the width and length to your requirements. Request a custom quote for your packing process.
Can Packing Tape Be Custom Printed?
Yes. We can produce custom-printed packing tape from as few as 36 rolls. Add your company logo, advertising message, warning text, or handling instructions and turn every carton into a visible brand touchpoint.
We print PP, PVC, and paper packing tape, from single-color artwork to photo-quality designs. Contact us for a free, non-binding quote for packing tape printed with your logo.
Which Types of Adhesive Are Available?
Three common adhesive types are used for packing tape: acrylic adhesive, natural rubber adhesive, and hot-melt adhesive.
Acrylic adhesive (industrially produced through polymerization):
- High transparency
- Easy to unwind
- Available with quiet or noisy unwinding
- Lower initial tack
- Good resistance to UV radiation and aging
- Good long-term adhesion
Natural rubber adhesive (based on natural rubber and formulated with resins and solvents):
- Quiet unwinding
- Fast initial adhesion
- Good temperature resistance
- Strong adhesion to many surfaces
- Limited resistance to aging
Hot-melt adhesive (a synthetic, thermoplastic adhesive):
- High initial tack
- Very easy to unwind
- Generally noisy when unwound
- Sensitive to temperature fluctuations and UV exposure
- Limited resistance to aging
Which Packing Tape Should I Buy?
The right packing tape depends on carton weight, storage and shipping conditions, unwind noise, sustainability requirements, and adhesive strength. The following comparison can help you select the appropriate carton sealing tape.
PP, PVC, Paper, and Filament Tape Compared
| Property | PP Packing Tape | PVC Packing Tape | Paper Packing Tape | Filament Tape |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Lightweight to medium-weight cartons | Medium-weight to heavy cartons | Lightweight to medium-weight cartons | Very heavy cartons, bundling, and pallets |
| Tear Resistance | Good | Very good | Good | Extremely high |
| Adhesive Strength | Good to very good, depending on the adhesive | Very high | Good | Very high |
| Unwind Noise | Quiet or noisy versions available | Quiet | Usually quiet | Usually noisy |
| Temperature Resistance | Good | Very good | Product-dependent | Very good |
| Key Advantage | Economical and versatile | High load capacity and quiet unwind | Paper backing and recycling-friendly options | Suitable for demanding loads |
| Recommended Use | Daily shipping, warehouses, and e-commerce | Heavy packages, industry, and logistics | Carton sealing with a paper-based backing | Machines, pallets, and heavy shipping goods |
Not sure which tape is right for you? We will be happy to help you select the best packing tape for shipping, warehousing, or production.
Quiet-Unwind and Noisy-Unwind Packing Tape
Unwind noise can be an important selection criterion, especially when tape is applied repeatedly with a handheld tape dispenser. Quiet-unwind packing tape can improve comfort in busy packaging areas. Adhesive strength, however, depends on the complete product construction and should not be judged by unwind noise alone.
Recommended Application Temperature
Application temperature affects how quickly the adhesive bonds to the carton. The original product information recommends approximately +10 °C to +20 °C for PP tape and temperatures up to +40 °C for certain PVC tapes. Because the permitted range varies by adhesive and product, always check the relevant technical data before application.
Packing Tape Thickness and Strength
Test the selected packaging tape under real operating conditions whenever possible. Products differ in film thickness, adhesive coat weight, elongation, and tear resistance. For very high tear resistance, use a fiber-reinforced packing tape or filament tape designed for medium-weight to heavy packages.
Our range extends from lightweight PP packing tape to thick, highly tear-resistant filament tape. We also offer quiet-unwind tapes for manual application and long machine rolls for automated carton sealing. Contact us for product advice or a custom quote.
Packing Tape Colors
Standard packing tape is typically brown, transparent, or white. Our range also includes blue, yellow, green, gold, silver, orange, pink, red, light blue, turquoise, purple, violet, and black tape. Seasonal and message-printed versions include “Merry Christmas” and “Thank You for Your Order.”
Printed Packing Tape and Warning Tape
Our online shop offers a selection of packing tapes with standard printed messages:
- Caution: Highly Sensitive Electrical Devices
- Caution: Glass
- Caution: Fragile
- Handle With Care
- Do Not Enter
- Merry Christmas
- Thank You for Your Order
Many other standard printed messages are available on request, including:
- This Side Up
- Merchandise Shipment
- Handle with Care
- Do Not Drop
You can also choose your own custom message for your printed warning tape. Simply contact us for a custom quote.
