Paper Tape
4 products available
Paper tape is a wide category of paper-backed adhesive tapes that are employed in packaging, labelling, framing, paper processing and certain industrial applications. We have a wide selection of flatback kraft tape, kraft packaging tape, printed kraft tape and specialist silicone kraft paper tape. Unlike conventional plastic packaging tape, the backing of paper tape is paper, not polypropylene, PVC or other plastic film. If you need standard carton-sealing tapes in other materials, see our packaging tapes.
Types of Paper Tape
Flatback Kraft Paper Tape
Flatback kraft paper tape is an excellent all-purpose tape for labelling, bundling, picture framing, carton sealing and any paper application. It has a smooth paper backing which is easy to work with and can be written upon.
Eco-Friendly Kraft Paper Tape
When a carton, parcel or other general dispatch is to be constructed out of paper, and a kraft paper construction is desired, eco-friendly kraft paper tape is a paper backed tape that can be used.
Printed Kraft Paper Tape
Printed kraft paper tape is for use in packaging applications where a logo, message or repeating print is a requirement in the presentation. It's good for e-commerce, retail and brand dispatch.
Silicone Kraft Paper Tape
A specialist industrial item for splicing, laminating and selected heat processing of paper, silicone kraft paper tape is not suitable for general carton sealing.
How to Choose the Right Paper Tape
For general labelling, bundling, framing or everyday paper-tape applications, choose flatback kraft paper tape. It is a practical option with a smooth application feature. For parcel and carton sealing with a kraft backing, select eco-friendly kraft paper tape. Use Printed kraft paper tape for branding or printing messages. Silicone kraft paper tape is better suited to specialist industrial processing. If the job is painting, decorating or temporary surface masking, use our masking tape range instead.
