Masking Tape
Two paper tapes, two different jobs
For sealing cartons with paper instead of plastic tape, use self-adhesive kraft paper tape, 48 mm (2 inch) wide. For painting, crafts and labels you can write on, use crepe paper masking tape. PackSmith sells Kraft Paper Tape 48 mm x 50 m in packs of 1, 12 or 24 rolls, and Crepe Paper Masking Tape in 1 or 2 inch widths, 20 m or 50 m a roll, in sets of 3 or 6. We sell both tapes. Prices on every listing include 18% GST, delivery is free across India and orders dispatch in 1 to 2 working days.
Kraft paper tape for boxes
- Self-adhesive: no water and no machine. Tear it by hand or use any standard 2 inch tape dispenser.
- It holds best on plain cardboard and kraft board, and gives a natural brown finish on a kraft carton.
- A roll is 50 m against 65 m on our BOPP rolls, and it costs more per roll. If you only want the lowest cost per carton, brown BOPP packing tape is cheaper.
- Bigger packs of 12 and 24 cost less per roll than a single roll.
Masking tape for painting, crafts and labels
- Cream crepe paper that holds for the job and peels off by hand.
- You can write on it, so it doubles as a label on boxes, files and jars.
- Take 1 inch for craft and window frames, 2 inch for wall painting. For covering a whole wall or sofa, use pre-taped masking film.
Which paper tape should you buy?
If the tape must hold a carton shut through a courier journey, buy kraft paper tape. If it must come off later without a mark, buy masking tape. Do not seal shipping boxes with masking tape: it is made to peel off.
