Water activated tapes are the traditional method of closing cartons. They are available with cross-linked reinforcement for heavier cartons, printed for advertisement or promotional purposes, and they offer a secure closure so you know if someone has tampered with your package. These tapes require a manual or automatic taper that activates the adhesive for a permanent bond.

Industrial tapes are more application specific with the most common listed below:
- Masking Tape – the adhesive is the key to masking tape as it allows the tape to easily be removed without causing damage or leaving a residue.
- Duct Tape – a poly-backed reinforced tape that is useful for everything from sealing, patching, reinforcing or repairing.
- Filament Tape – a high tensile strength tape with fiberglass reinforcement making it the perfect tape for unitizing and securing heavy packages.
- Double Coated Tape – a two-sided tape ideal for mounting, adhering and splicing two items together.

Hand stretch film is the most common way to secure loads and bundle product together.
Blown – general-purpose hand film for all loads.
- Provides good puncture and tear resistance with great cling
- Noisy release due to the high level of cling
- Little training required to use properly
- Wide range of available sizes and gauges
High Performance – excellent choice for most loads due to the thinner, stronger film.
- Provides excellent puncture and tear resistance
- Performs with less neck-down for better coverage using narrower width rolls
- Quiet release
- Lighter weight rolls reduces wrapper fatigue
Pre-stretch – the easiest to apply film especially in cold environments.
- Provides good puncture and tear resistance with very little work for the wrapper
- Performs with less neck-down for better coverage using narrower width rolls
- Lighter weight rolls reduces wrapper fatigue
- Typically has rolled edges or is wound with air injected to protect rolls from damage

Machine stretch film is the most economical way to secure your loads if you have a large volume of product to wrap.
General Purpose Cast – the simple and most economical solution for most applications.
- Provides good levels of stretch, puncture resistance and cling
- Releases quietly from the roll
- Pre-stretch levels up to 250%
- One-Sided Cling – used in applications to eliminate pallets from sticking together.
- Provides excellent levels of stretch, puncture resistance, cling and load holding force.
- Releases quietly from the roll for high speed applications
- Pre-stretch levels up to 250%
High Performance – excellent for down-gauged and high pre-stretch applications.
- Provides the best levels of stretch, puncture resistance, cling, and load holding force
- Superior strength allows one to down-gauge their film minimizing film usage
- Pre-stretch capabilities of up to 300%
Blown – the best option for securing irregular loads.
- Provides optimum load-holding force and unrivaled puncture resistance
- Noisy release due to the high level of cling
- Pre-stretch levels up to 250%

Carton sealing tape is one of the most common types of tape in use. Any item being packaged, or shipped is typically closed with one form or another of carton sealing tape. There are three main categories of carton sealing tape depending on your specific application.
- Hot Melt – an excellent general-purpose tape with very good adhesion properties with very little noise suitable for machine applications.
- Acrylic – a better performance tape that will not yellow and works better in humid environments or where appearance matters.
- Natural Rubber – a very aggressive adhesive used for dusty harsh environments where temperatures are the extremes.
