Common Questions About Clear Tape
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between clear tape and Sellotape?
First launched in the 1930s, Sellotape is the undisputed market leader in clear adhesive tape and therefore synonymous with the product - so much so that the word Sellotape features in the Oxford English Dictionary. However, it is still a brand name, whereas clear tape refers to the product in general and is produced not only by Sellotape but also a number of other manufacturers.
What is the benefit of low noise clear tape?
Clear tape can create an incredibly noisy screeching sound when it is dispensed; if you are spending your working day packaging parcels this will probably start to grate before too long. In response to this issue, some manufacturers now produce low noise clear tape that won't irritate your ears or annoy your co-workers when being repeatedly applied to parcels!
How do I avoid losing the end of the clear tape?
This has to be the biggest frustration for anyone who has ever used clear tape. The best solution is simply to use a dispenser with a serrated edge as this not only makes is easier to wrap parcels (you only need one hand to tear the clear tape), the end of the clear tape will always be kept away from the roll and will therefore never get lost! There are a number of different styles of dispenser available - pick the one that suits the type and size of clear tape you are using.
Why clear tape over brown tape?
Brown tape is a reliable solution for packaging heavy parcels and cartons. It is generally thicker than clear tape and therefore does offer strength and robustness. However, clear tape is available in relatively heavy duty formats and, unlike brown tape, it provides visibility of any markings on the package such as addresses, fragile labels and those all-important delivery details.
Is clear tape expensive?
Clear tape as we know it today is an inexpensive disposable item. Clear tape is manufactured in huge quantities in the UK and can be seen in nearly every household and office across the country, as a result clear tape is cheap to buy and even cheaper when purchased in bulk.
