Manual brown polypropylene (PP) adhesive tape

For standard and mid-weight boxes it copes without trouble using an H-seal (three transverse strips and two longitudinal) on regular corrugated cardboard. For very heavy boxes with dense contents (books, tools, compact appliances), go for the 76 mm width or several passes of 50 mm reinforcing the bottom, because the real limit is the cardboard's tear resistance, not the BOPP film. For prolonged storage under weight, check the closure periodically.

Brown does the same mechanical job as transparent (same BOPP with acrylic adhesive) but adds opacity: it conceals the contents of the box, hides previous closures and gives parcels a uniform look, especially on kraft cardboard where the color blends in visually. Transparent is the choice when you need to read labels or codes placed under the tape. For e-commerce and moves where the privacy of the contents matters, brown is the usual pick.

The 50 mm roll is the standard for shipping boxes and general parcels: it balances consumption and grip, and fits any manual dispenser. The 76 mm covers more surface per pass and suits large or heavy boxes, wide flaps and bulky moving loads, where a narrow tape forces double passes. Both presentations come with 100 m per roll, in cases of 72 rolls (50 mm) and 48 rolls (76 mm).

Once applied and well pressed onto dry cardboard, the tape withstands ambient humidity and moderate condensation without peeling, the typical condition of warehouses in the DR's tropical climate. The critical moment is application: if the box is damp, dusty or greasy, initial adhesion is poor and the tape lifts within days. The acrylic adhesive also keeps its adhesion and color without drying out in storage. For maximum grip, always apply on clean, dry cardboard.
