Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about packaging tape.

92 m rolls reduce roll changes and speed up packing on busy benches. 66 m is the standard length for everyday use. Compare: 48 mm × 92 m clear vs 48 mm × 92 m brown.
48 mm suits most parcels and standard cartons. Choose 75 mm for large boxes, heavy items, or where you want a stronger seal with fewer strips. Browse all packing tape.
