CARTON SEALING TAPE
CARTON SEALING TAPE
Acrylic Adhesive
Supreme™ Brand Printed Tape adheres quickly and consistently. It resists UV lighting, yellowing and aging. The
tape is ideal for communicating shipping instructions, company advertisements, labeling boxes, and protection
against pilferage. It also provides lock-in printing, which means your message will not smear or scratch off
because it is applied to the underside of the film before coating with adhesive.

Helpful Hints
72mm • For boxes over 16 inches wide
• Difficult to adhere surfaces
• For boxes where flaps/lids do not meet
• Under/Over filled boxes
• Always seal boxes with one strip of tape
48mm • For boxes 15 inches wide or less
• For boxes where flaps/lids meet
• If using two 48mm tape strips, try using one
72mm tape strip instead
(this will save you time and money)
• Always seal boxes a minimum of two inches
down the side
