Product Information
Full details
The Ultratape Heavy Duty Brown Parcel Tape is an essential tool for homeowners, small business owners, and logistics personnel who require a reliable sealing solution for shipping and storage. Providing a superior adhesive bond that maintains security for heavy or irregularly shaped parcels, it offers high tensile strength for maximum protection; however, users should note that its industrial-grade adhesion requires firm pressure upon application to ensure a complete seal on dusty or uneven surfaces.

FAQs
Is this tape suitable for heavy boxes?
Yes, it is specifically designed with high-tensile materials to handle heavy or awkwardly shaped parcels.
Can I use this tape in a standard dispenser?
Yes, it is compatible with most standard 48mm manual tape dispensers.
Does the tape work well in cold storage?
The adhesive is formulated for durability, but it is best applied at room temperature to ensure the strongest initial bond.
How many meters of tape are on a single roll?
Each roll contains 50 metres of high-strength tape.
Can I write on the brown surface of the tape?
Yes, permanent markers will adhere to the surface if you need to label your boxes.
Is this tape waterproof?
While it provides a moisture-resistant seal for transit, it is not intended for total submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Tape is difficult to start or tears prematurely at the edge.
Ensure the roll has been stored correctly to avoid heat damage and use a clean, sharp blade on your dispenser to prevent nicks in the tape edge.
Tape is not sticking securely to the cardboard.
Check if the cardboard surface is dusty or damp. Wipe the surface clean and dry before re-applying, then press down firmly along the length of the tape.
The tape bubbles during application.
Apply the tape using a slow, steady tension rather than pulling rapidly. Use the dispenser's roller to smooth the tape down as you apply it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the effectiveness of the adhesive, ensure that the surface of the parcel is clean, dry, and free of excess dust or moisture before application. When using with a standard manual tape dispenser, ensure the roll is loaded according to the dispenser's specific threading instructions to maintain consistent tension. For long-term care, store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; UV exposure over extended periods can potentially degrade the adhesive properties of any packaging tape. When applying, use a firm 'press-and-swipe' motion to eliminate air bubbles and ensure the adhesive creates full contact with the packaging surface.
