Packing Tapes/ Strapping

Packaging tapes for sealing cardboard boxes, we stock large quantities of tape in boxes of 36 or packs of 6 but our packing tapes are most often sold in single rolls of brown tape for the house mover or the general purpose clear tape which can be used for xmas and birthday presents.  We hold a large quantity of Fragile tape and also contents-checked-&-security-sealed preprinted tape, red print on a white background.  Always consider using a tape dispenser, using your teeth or scissors is not advisable, using a pistol grip tape dispenser, used by warehouse staff and removal comapnies will make sealing your boxes far quicker and more efficient.

We now stock reels of banding and plastic pallet strapping for automatic and hand strapping of large boxes and pallets.

Whether you're sealing cardboard boxes for a home move, preparing parcels, or palletizing goods for storage or transport, the right tape or strapping makes all the difference. Here at Storage & Removal Boxes, you'll find everything from general-purpose brown and clear packing tapes to specialist ‘Fragile’ and ‘Contents Checked’ security tapes, as well as professional-grade pistol-grip dispensers and heavy-duty pallet banding strapping.

Choose the Right Packing Tape for Every Task

Our range includes:

• Brown kraft tape: Ideal for the house mover, offering strong yet traditional sealing for removal boxes.
• Clear polypropylene tape: Excellent for gift wrapping (e.g. Christmas, birthdays) and general home use.
• Fragile security tape: Bold red-on-white print to indicate careful handling required.
• Contents Checked & Security sealed tape: Perfect when tracking or tamper detection is important.

All tapes are available singly, in handy 6-roll domestic packs, or in bulk boxes of 36—ideal for businesses, estate agents, storage firms, and removal companies.

Why Use a Tape Dispenser?

Cutting tape with teeth or scissors is inefficient, messy, and time-consuming—especially when sealing dozens of boxes. A **pistol-grip tape dispenser**, widely used by professional movers and warehouse operatives, allows smooth, single-handed dispensing and clean cuts, drastically speeding up packing time and reducing waste.

Pallet Banding & Strapping for Heavy-Duty Needs

When you’re dealing with heavy boxes, bulk shipping, or pallet storage, our **plastic banding and strapping reels** are essential. Available for both hand strapping and automatic machines, they provide secure, tight binding to stabilise large items during transit or warehousing.

Packing Tips for Best Results

1. Seal box edges and seams: Apply tape along the central seam and each side edge for extra strength.
2. Use dispensers: Choose a pistol-grip tape dispenser for consistent tape application and fast sealing.
3. Ensure a snug band: For pallet strapping, use ratchet tools or automatic machines to tension the band tightly.
4. Mark each box clearly: Use “Fragile” or “Contents Checked” tape if needed to guide handlers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only sell in bulk or can I buy single rolls?

We sell both—you can purchase single rolls, packs of six, or wholesale boxes of 36 rolls to suit your needs.

What’s the difference between brown and clear tapes?

Brown kraft tape is stronger and ideal for heavy box sealing. Clear polypropylene is lighter and better suited for gift-wrapping or light uses.

Why use “Contents Checked” tape?

This preprinted tape provides a simple tracking method for movers or warehouses to mark when contents have been verified, adding an extra layer of security and accountability.

Can I use pallet strapping by hand?

Yes. We supply both hand-strapping reels compatible with tensioning tools and strapping suitable for automatic machines—ideal for palletising boxes.

Are tape dispensers necessary?

For larger moves or high-volume packing, a pistol-grip dispenser is strongly recommended—it improves speed, consistency, and reduces waste compared to manual cutting.
