When standard packing materials aren’t enough, our Plain Reinforced Paper Tape provides the industrial-grade strength required for heavy-duty shipping and long-distance export. Engineered with embedded glass fibres, this reinforced paper tape is designed to withstand extreme tension, preventing carton splitting and ensuring that even the heaviest parcels remain secure from warehouse to destination.
While standard kraft tape is excellent for everyday shipping, plain reinforced paper tape is a specialised product for high-stakes logistics. The cross-weave or uniaxial glass fibre reinforcement provides a level of tear resistance that matches or exceeds traditional plastic tapes. Unlike film-based tapes that can stretch or snap, this heavy-duty paper tape maintains its structural integrity under pressure, making it the preferred choice for sealing double-walled boxes and industrial cartons.
While the glass fibre reinforcement means this is not a traditional mono-material, our reinforced paper packing tape is a significantly more sustainable, plastic-free alternative to filament tapes. In most UK recycling streams, the tape can be left on the cardboard, as the glass fibres are easily screened out during the pulping process. This allows for a much ‘cleaner’ recycling journey compared to standard plastic tapes. For a deeper understanding of how this fits into your green strategy, we recommend reading our guide on Reinforced Paper Tape and Beginner’s Guide to Recyclable Tape.
We provide four specific widths to ensure your dispatch team has the right tool for every parcel:
25mm Reinforced Paper Tape: Perfect for small but heavy items where a narrow, high-strength seal is required.
37.5mm Reinforced Paper Tape: A versatile mid-size option for subscription boxes and medium-weight eCommerce shipments.
50mm Reinforced Paper Tape: The industry-standard width. Our most popular reinforced paper packing tape, compatible with standard dispensers and ideal for the majority of heavy cartons.
75mm Reinforced Paper Tape: Maximum security for international shipping, pallet stabilisation, and oversized industrial goods.
Utilising a high-tack, solvent-based rubber adhesive, our reinforced paper tape bonds instantly and deeply with cardboard fibres. This creates a tamper-evident seal; any attempt to open the box will clearly damage the cardboard, providing an essential layer of security for high-value goods. Furthermore, as a primarily paper-based solution, it significantly reduces plastic usage in your supply chain.
At ThePrintedTape Co.UK, we specialise in supporting high-volume UK businesses. Our plain reinforced paper tape is available in bulk packs of 72 to 360 rolls, ensuring your packing line remains efficient and cost-effective.
