Packing Tapes

When a business is sending orders by post or courier, it is imperative that the items inside the shipment are kept secure and intact, because reissuing orders costs businesses money, and that cuts into their profits. In order to avoid this as far as possible, once orders are inside the box or mailing envelope, and cushioning has been added, the package needs to be sealed securely.

The range of tapes that we have at SR Mailing is extensive, offering businesses the optimal types of packaging tapes for their needs, whether their preference is for clear, brown, or coffee packaging tape. When choosing packaging tapes, it isn’t as simple as which colour though. Businesses that are particularly concerned about showing their customers that they care about the environment, our environmentally friendly Kraft tape is a great option – and is available with Fragile print too.

For orders that require special handling, it is important that the carrier knows – and writing on the package can be ignored, and looks unprofessional. Using tape that specifies that the item inside the box is fragile is standard practice, and is efficient, since the tape holds the box closed as well as alerting the delivery drivers.

We know that our customers often need other types of tapes too – which is why we have masking tapes of different widths, duct tape and PVC hazard tapes that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Businesses that want to be able to brand their packaging, but have a tight packaging budget may find that using branded packaging tape to be a great solution – similar to that on Amazon deliveries. We can provide bespoke tapes for this purpose – simply request a quote.

As you’d expect, our tapes are compatible with most tape accessories, including tape guns, carton sealers, and table dispensers that support 3-inch paper core.

What is a standard mailing bag?

Our standard polythene bags are our best value mailing sacks, available in a large selection of sizes to suit a variety of products and purposes. The 55 micron thick grey material grants a reasonable degree of strength while remaining very lightweight to minimise postal costs. Your postage and packing outgoings can be accurately calculated thanks to the sizing table which corresponds with Royal Mail’s PiP guidelines. Intuitive practicality is embedded into the design with the 40mm lip that includes a peel-&-seal strip. This feature eliminates the need for tape, simplifying the whole packing process for increased efficiency and ease. These qualities are indispensable within a busy dispatch operation, promoting the fast functioning of an ecommerce business. Moreover, tape dispensers or cutting tools can be removed from a pack station, aiding organisation. To display delivery information, these standard mailing bags are commonly purchased with items from our comprehensive range of multi-purpose labels. Are the polythene bags eco-friendly? The grey polythene is made from recycled materials, making it a low-cost and environmentally friendly option. The extremely light weight further promotes the protection of our planet as it means that more parcels can be loaded onto a single vehicle, hence economising that space and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the process. It is worth noting that, as a result of the recycled content, the shade of grey may vary slightly from the images. Can you reuse a mailing bag? These plastic mailing bags are made with a minimum amount of recycled material to suit their single-use purpose and hence, are not designed for reuse. However, there is nothing stopping a customer from reusing a grey mailing bag if it retains its high quality condition. What are grey mailing bags used for? Thanks to the wide range of sizes supplied by Kite, the standard postal pouches can carry a broad selection of products, making them suitable for various industries. The large letter sizes are perfect for sending out clothing, literature or textiles while the larger parcels are typically used for bulky or boxed items. The opaque exterior renders the envelopes suitable for sending out confidential materials too. A polythene mailing sack is a great universal product with a variety of uses, making it an ideal versatile resource for companies sending out a range of different items. The flat-pack and ultra-thin arrival aids this end by conserving warehouse space. recycling code 4 Click here for our recycling guide
