48mm (2 inch) packaging tape

Brown vs Clear 48mm Tape

Brown tape is the traditional choice for most despatch operations and blends in against standard corrugated cardboard, while clear tape is popular where a branded box design or printed artwork needs to stay visible underneath. Both perform the same job — the choice usually comes down to presentation rather than strength.

Adhesive Options

Acrylic adhesive gives a long-lasting, UV-resistant hold that's well suited to boxes in storage for longer periods, while hot melt adhesive bonds instantly and copes well with high-speed packing lines. If you're unsure which to choose, our full packaging tape range breaks down the differences across all our tape types.
