Clear packing tape is transparent polypropylene tape for sealing cardboard boxes and parcels. Pack Solution sells it in packs of 6 rolls, in 24mm, 48mm and 72mm widths: standard 42 micron acrylic tape, BigTape 48mm x 150m Low Noise and Proloc 72mm x 66m. Online sellers, warehouses, offices and people moving house across the UK use it daily.

Key features

• Transparent finish: this clear box tape leaves box labels, barcodes and printing readable.
• Acrylic on polypropylene: the standard rolls have acrylic adhesive on 42 micron polypropylene film, and they seal cardboard boxes.
• Low noise packing tape option: BigTape 48mm x 150m is a 43 micron premium acrylic tape made for packing areas where noise matters.
• Widths from 24mm to 72mm: there is a width for small parcels, one for standard boxes and one for wide box seams.
• Long length rolls: the 48mm x 132m and 48mm x 150m rolls need changing less often on a busy bench.
