Vinyl (PVC) tape has traditionally been the gold standard for packaging tapes, popular for its strong film and reliable solvent adhesive. It's adhesive is less temperature sensitive than some cheaper tapes on the market and is often the tape of choice when sealing heavy duty cardboard boxes.

With ongoing raw material shortages and repeated price rises, now is an ideal time to look at the alternatives available. As a tape specialist, Kilby Packaging can help find the right product for you.

If you are looking at more environmentally sustainable packaging, now would be the ideal time to make the change to paper tape. Paper tape offers a smart and environmentally friendly way to the seal your boxes, it is available from stock in a range of sizes, adhesives, and finishes.
