In a world moving away from single-use plastics, paper tape has emerged as the premier choice for eco-conscious businesses and high-volume fulfilment centres. At ThePrintedTape Co.UK, we provide a comprehensive range of paper tape brown and white options designed to meet the rigorous demands of the modern shipping industry. Our tapes offer a seamless blend of high-performance adhesion and 100% recyclability, ensuring your brand values are reflected in every package you send.
The transition from plastic to brown kraft paper tape is more than just an environmental choice; it is a functional upgrade. Unlike traditional polypropylene tapes that can peel away from cardboard under stress or temperature changes, our kraft paper tapes utilise a pressure-sensitive adhesive that creates a structural bond with the box fibres.
This “instant-grab” technology ensures that whether you are using our standard paper parcel tape or our heavy-duty widths, your packages remain tamper-evident and securely sealed throughout the transit process.
We understand that one size does not fit all. Our collection is curated to provide the exact level of security needed for different packaging weights and styles:
25mm Paper Tape: The specialist’s choice for boutique gift wrapping, small electronics, and jewellery boxes. It offers a minimalist look without sacrificing the “eco” credentials of kraft paper tape.
37.5mm Paper Tape: A versatile mid-range option, perfect for medium-sized mailer boxes and subscription kits where a standard 50mm tape might feel too bulky.
50mm Paper Tape: Our highest-volume seller. This is the industry-standard packing tape brown width, compatible with all standard hand-held dispensers and ideal for the majority of shipping cartons.
75mm Paper Tape: Engineered for heavy-duty industrial use. When you are shipping large, heavy, or high-value goods, the extra width of this brown paper tape provides maximum reinforcement for box seams.
While paper tape brown is the classic choice for a natural, rustic look, many brands require a cleaner aesthetic. Our white paper tape (available across our size range) provides the same high-tensile strength and recyclability as our kraft options. It is the perfect partner for white mailing boxes, providing a crisp, high-end finish that enhances your brand’s professional image.
Unlike traditional plastic tapes that need to be stripped from boxes before recycling, our kraft paper tape can be left on the carton. This makes our paper parcel tape the preferred choice for eco-conscious brands looking to reduce plastic waste without compromising on seal strength.

To ensure your paper parcel tape performs at its peak, we recommend applying it to clean, dust-free cardboard. Because our tapes are pressure-sensitive, a simple firm wipe along the tape after application “sets” the bond. This makes them significantly faster and cleaner to use than water-activated alternatives, as no specialised wetting machinery is required.
We specialise in supporting businesses of all sizes, from home-based Etsy sellers to large-scale warehouses. By ordering your kraft paper tapes in bulk—available in packs ranging from 72 to 360 rolls—you can significantly reduce your cost-per-package while maintaining a commitment to plastic-free shipping.
