How Tape Width and Thickness Affect Application and Durability
Width and thickness: how these tape specifications affect your packaging performance.
Width options
Quick answer
48mm is standard for most parcels. 75mm for large boxes or maximum brand visibility. Wider tape provides more surface for your branding and covers seams more securely. For thickness, 28 micron is standard. 35 micron provides extra strength for heavy items. Thinner (25 micron) works for light parcels. Match width and thickness to your typical box size and contents weight.
