Packing Tape in the US Procurement Price, Data and Insights
Packing tape is used for sealing packages and is usually made with a polypropylene or polyester backing. It typically uses acrylic or rubber-based adhesives. Packing tape is designed to be stronger than many other tape forms because it must hold together packages and withstand the rigors of transportation. Suppliers include manufacturers and wholesalers. Retailers also provide these products; however, because many buyers purchase them in large quantities, they primarily source them from manufacturers and wholesalers.
