How to Close a Box: Packing Tape

August 27, 2019

The gold standard. Cut two pieces from a roll and seal the bottom and top flaps closed. It gets the job done and will always be a great option. Depending on what you’re selling or where it’s going, you’ll want to choose packaging tape that handles certain conditions.

Water activated tape bonds to a corrugated box once dry and is impossible to remove with tearing it. This makes it ideal for shipments that might be prone to tampering. And cold temperature tape has an adhesive that remains tacky in lower temperatures. It’ll stand up better in wintry conditions where regular carton sealing tape may fail to keep a box closed.

You can also try a technique called the H-tape method. This involves not only taping the flaps closed, but covering over the exposed sides of the flaps as well. This provides even more stability and security to a sealed box. And it keeps dust out (something desirable during moving or long-term storage) while helping to keep the inside of a box cooler or drier (ideal for shipping food or other perishables).

Whatever you choose, be sure to pick up hand held tape dispensers. They not only speed up your packing efforts, they waste less tape and provide a tighter seal.
