An adhesive tape known as packing tape is frequently used to seal boxes and goods for transportation or storage. It is often constructed of a thin, flexible material that can endure the rigours of transit and handling, such polypropylene or polyester.
Packing tape often has an acrylic or synthetic rubber adhesive that offers a solid, long-lasting bond. Certain varieties of packing tape also have a water-resistant coating or backing, which aids in shielding the package's contents from moisture and other outside elements.
