E-Tape Packaging Tape

E-Tape is a high-performance range of packaging tapes designed to make
carton sealing faster, more efficient and more economical. Available in a range of
adhesive types, widths, colours and specialist grades, E-Tape provides a reliable
packaging solution for warehouses, manufacturing businesses, distribution centres,
e-commerce fulfilment operations and general packing applications.

With long-roll options of up to 150 metres per roll, E-Tape provides
significantly more tape per roll than conventional 66-metre packaging tape. This can
help reduce the number of roll changes required during packing and improve efficiency
in busy packaging environments.

including general-purpose, hot melt, solvent, freezer-grade, fragile, security and
recycled-content options.

What Is E-Tape?

E-Tape is a range of packaging tapes designed for reliable carton sealing and
high-efficiency packing. Depending on the grade selected, E-Tape can be manufactured
with different adhesive technologies to provide the performance required for different
packaging environments.

E-Tape is available in extended roll lengths, with some products offering up to
150 metres of tape per roll. The increased tape length means operators
can seal more cartons before needing to replace the roll, making long-roll E-Tape
particularly useful for businesses carrying out regular or high-volume packing.

Whether you are sealing standard corrugated boxes, packing products for e-commerce,
preparing goods for distribution or protecting cartons during storage and transport,
there is an E-Tape option to suit a wide range of packaging requirements.

Why Choose E-Tape Packaging Tape?

Longer Rolls

E-Tape is available in long-roll formats of up to 150 metres, providing more tape
per roll and reducing the frequency of roll changes.

Fewer Roll Changes

Longer rolls mean operators can seal more cartons before changing the tape,
helping improve productivity in busy packing environments.

Multiple Adhesive Options

Choose from different adhesive technologies, including acrylic, hot melt and
solvent-based options, depending on your application and operating environment.

Different Widths and Colours

E-Tape is available in different widths and colours, making it easier to select
the right tape for your cartons, products and packing process.

Suitable for High-Volume Packing

Long-roll E-Tape is particularly useful for warehouses, distribution centres,
manufacturing and e-commerce operations where large numbers of cartons are sealed.

Specialist E-Tape Grades

The range includes specialist options for applications such as freezer storage,
fragile products, security sealing and businesses looking for recycled-content
packaging solutions.

E-Tape vs Standard Packing Tape

One of the main advantages of E-Tape is the extended length available on selected
rolls. A conventional packaging tape roll is commonly supplied in lengths of around
66 metres, whereas long-roll E-Tape can provide up to 150 metres of tape on a roll.

For businesses sealing a high number of cartons, the additional tape length can mean
fewer roll changes throughout the working day. This can help reduce interruptions to
the packing process and improve operator efficiency.

Roll length	Up to 150m on selected products	Typically around 66m
Roll changes	Fewer required with long-roll options	More frequent
Adhesive options	Multiple options available	Varies by product
Applications	General and specialist packaging	General packaging

Which E-Tape Should I Choose?

The best E-Tape for your application depends on the type of carton being sealed,
the environment in which the packaging will be stored or transported and the
performance required from the adhesive.

Understanding E-Tape Adhesives

The adhesive used on packaging tape has a significant effect on how the tape performs.
E-Tape is available with different adhesive technologies to suit different packaging
requirements.

Acrylic Adhesive

Acrylic adhesive tapes are commonly used for general carton sealing and everyday
packaging applications. They provide reliable adhesion and are suitable for a wide
range of standard packaging requirements.

Hot Melt Adhesive

Hot melt packaging tapes are designed for strong and efficient carton sealing and
are particularly useful in fast-paced packing environments where cartons need to be
sealed quickly.

Solvent Adhesive

Solvent-based adhesives can provide strong adhesion and are available on selected
E-Tape products for applications where higher adhesive performance is required.

E-Tape Packaging Tape Applications

E-Tape can be used across a wide range of commercial and industrial packaging
applications.

Carton sealing
Warehouse packing
E-commerce fulfilment
Manufacturing
Distribution and logistics
Retail packaging
Export packaging
Mail order packing
General industrial packaging
High-volume packing operations

E-Tape for Warehouses and Distribution Centres

Businesses sealing large numbers of cartons can benefit from using longer-roll
packaging tape. With up to 150 metres available on selected E-Tape rolls, operators
can spend more time packing and less time changing tape rolls.

This makes E-Tape particularly suitable for warehouses, distribution
centres and fulfilment operations where packing efficiency is important.

E-Tape for E-Commerce Packaging

E-commerce businesses often seal a large number of cartons every day. Choosing a
suitable packaging tape can therefore have a direct impact on packing efficiency.

Long-roll E-Tape provides an efficient solution for regular carton sealing, while
specialist grades such as fragile or security tape can provide additional
identification or protection where required.

E-Tape for Manufacturing and Industrial Packaging

E-Tape is suitable for manufacturers and industrial businesses requiring dependable
carton sealing for products moving through production, storage and distribution.

With different adhesive types, widths and specialist grades available, businesses
can select an E-Tape product suited to their particular packaging requirements.

E-Tape and Tape Dispensers

E-Tape can be used with suitable packaging tape dispensers to make carton sealing
faster and easier. A dispenser can allow the operator to quickly apply, tension and
cut the tape while maintaining a consistent sealing process.

For high-volume packing operations, combining long-roll E-Tape with a suitable
packing tape dispenser can help improve operator productivity and
make the packing process more efficient.
