FAQS:
Packing Tape Brown & Brown Paper Tape

Is brown paper tape better than plastic tape?

It depends on your goals! Brown paper tape (Kraft tape) is the gold standard for eco-conscious brands because it is recyclable and gives a high-end, “organic” look. Plastic tape (Polyprop or Vinyl) is often more cost-effective for high-volume shipping where aesthetics are less of a priority. However, for a professional “branded” feel, brown paper tape is currently the UK’s most popular choice.

No. One of the biggest advantages of our brown paper packing tape is that it can be recycled right along with the cardboard box. Unlike plastic tapes, which need to be peeled off and binned separately, paper tape dissolves during the pulping process, making it much easier for your customers to stay green.

Standard paper tape is perfect for light to medium-weight parcels. Reinforced brown tape features cross-weave fiberglass filaments embedded in the paper. This makes it incredibly strong and nearly impossible to tear by hand, providing extra security for heavy-duty shipments or high-value items that require a tamper-evident seal.

Absolutely. Printing on a brown base is a fantastic way to showcase your brand’s commitment to sustainability. We can print logos in up to 3 colors on our brown Kraft paper, reinforced paper, vinyl, and polyprop tapes. Black or dark-colored inks look particularly striking against the natural brown background.

Our brown vinyl tape and polyprop tape offer excellent moisture resistance. While paper-based tapes are breathable and can handle light rain, we recommend our reinforced or vinyl options if your parcels will be stored in humid environments or exposed to the elements for long periods.

We stock a wide variety of widths to suit any box size, including 25mm, 37.5mm, 50mm, and 75mm. Our standard 50mm (2-inch) width is the most common choice for sealing standard shipping cartons.
