Build a packing-station supply list around the cartons, loads and dispensing equipment you use. Total Tapes supplies carton tapes, reinforcement tapes, stretch film and dispensers in the purchase formats shown on each listing.
| Job | Products to compare | Selection checks |
|---|---|---|
| Close corrugated cartons | Acrylic carton tape, Water-activated kraft tape | Compare carton surface, load, storage temperature and activation equipment. Water-activated tape requires suitable dispensing equipment. |
| Identify or flag cartons | Colored packing tape, Stop Check tape | Choose a color or printed message for your packing process. A printed warning is not proof that a package has not been opened. |
| Reinforce cartons and bundles | Uni-directional filament tape, Bi-directional filament tape | Match reinforcement direction, tape width and the actual bundle. Trial the package through its handling conditions. |
| Wrap pallet loads | Hand stretch film | Select gauge and width for load edges and handling. This is stretch film, not adhesive tape; check containment on the actual load. |
| Equip packing stations | EC-208 2-inch dispenser, EC-306 3-inch dispenser, Desktop dispensers | Match tape width, core and outside roll diameter; do not choose a dispenser by tape width alone. |
Plan a repeat order
- List each tape size and the rolls consumed per week or month.
- Record the dispenser model used at each station.
- Compare roll length and rolls per selected case before comparing case prices.
- Include delivery locations and the date stock is needed in your quote request.
Choosing a carton tape
Start with the carton-sealing selection guide. Test the chosen tape on the actual board, including recycled or coated cartons, before a full packing run.
Build your business order
Request a business quote with the product or job, width and length, quantity in rolls or cases, reorder frequency, delivery ZIP code and needed-by date. If the product is not yet known, describe the surface and conditions so we can help narrow the options. Availability, pricing and shipping are confirmed for your order.
