Masking tape is a lightly adhesive paper tape that is easy to tear and can be applied and removed without leaving marks or damaging the objects to which it was attached. Traditionally also known as “painter’s tape”, masking tape is available in a variety of widths and is designed for use when painting, to mask areas that should not be painted (making it ideal for painting walls as well).
For this reason, thanks to its gentle adhesive and the fact that it can be removed easily without damaging the surface to which it was attached, masking tape is used for a multitude of applications, from packaging to car painting.
Masking tape is used for a multitude of applications, even though it was originally designed for masking during painting. In fact, it is so practical that people use it to repair everything from bags to umbrellas, hang party decorations or even create a racetrack for toy cars!
However, the most common use of masking tape is to label items. It is a fairly simple way to label and identify products or small components without damaging them. The tape adheres to most surfaces, whether metal or plastic, without leaving a mark, making it ideal for labelling in offices and warehouses. It is also resistant to water and heat, making it ideal for marking products shipped abroad.
After learning about masking tape, you may now be wondering: “what is paper tape?”. Of course, it is easy to see why there might be some confusion about this product. Masking tape has a wide range of applications, but it is often not adhesive enough for sealing boxes and packages. This role is effectively fulfilled by paper adhesive tape.
Paper adhesive tape provides a much safer way to seal boxes and packages, as it has a much stronger adhesive. It is also water-resistant and performs well in damp conditions, making it ideal for sealing boxes intended for transit or storage. It can be applied easily and quickly, directly to the package or box.
You may be used to working only with polypropylene adhesive tape, but once you understand how to use paper tape, you will realise that its benefits make it suitable for certain applications. As it is made from paper, it is very easy to recycle. Paper tape – self-adhesive or gummed – is ideal for use on recycled and partially recycled boxes, forming a strong bond with this type of material.
After discussing paper adhesive tape, it is time to talk briefly about packaging tape. Of course, paper tape and masking tape are not the only, or always the best, options for labelling and sealing packages.
Packaging tape is a safe and durable alternative to paper tape, providing a strong seal for parcels or boxes of all sizes.
Packaging tape is available in different sizes and can even be customised for convenient package sealing and labelling, or to help with marking fragile products.
Packaging tape is available in various sizes, colours and materials and can be customised according to your preferences, making it one of the most widely used packaging products.
