How Long Does Packing Tape Last?

The life span of packing tape varies depending on which type you’re using and how often you use the tape. Most packing tape includes anywhere from 20 yards to over 100 yards, so if you use a lot of packing tape, it’s wise to purchase tape with higher yardage. Consider also a packing tape dispenser to make your taping process easier and reduce waste. Shipping tape is also available in multi-packs, which can get you hundreds of yards of tape in one affordable purchase. Choose from clear packing tape options, as well as white, tan, multicolor, and more.

What Tape Is Best for Packing?

The best packing tape should keep boxes closed and secure with only one strip of tape. Heavy-duty packing tapes, like Scotch® packing tape, resists splitting and ripping, helping to keep your packages sealed. Whether you are shipping purchases to customers or holiday gifts to loved ones, the best shipping tapes have strong and durable adhesive. They can keep even the heaviest package in excellent condition until it reaches its final destination.
