It is easy to be flippant about the humble roll of sealing tape, but humans have been trying to create sealants for an awfully long time! There’s records dating back to 4,000BC of earthenware pots being sealed with tree resin sap. By 2,000BC there are written instructions on how to make your own fish glue (not really recommended these days!) but the first patent for an adhesive was issued in 1750 in Great Britain, made of fish glue! Thankfully fish glue is not a “thing” these days!

The first appearance of adhesive tape was in 1845, and was used primarily by forward-thinking surgeons of the day.

The Sealing Tape offered here is a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a polypropylene film.

The tape can be applied by hand or with a tape gun. Simply by running your hand over the applied tape, you can ensure the pressure-sensitive adhesive is properly applied so the tape stays in place.

Ideal for securing and sealing boxes, parcels and other packages, this polypropylene tape provides strong, waterproof adhesion to help protect items in transit.

A white tape with “Fragile” repeated in red text, this tape will draw attention to ensure it is handled with care.

Although the idea of covering your box or package with Fragile Tape may feel like you’ve done everything possible to prevent breakages, it is not a substitute for using voidfill and protective packaging to ensure your box or package is adequately protected!
