If you are manufacturing products there is a very high chance that you will have to package your product up and transport it to various distribution centres. If your product is fragile, needs to be handled with care or you’re the quality of your product needs to be checked on arrival, you will need to label your package or parcel accordingly. 

Printed packaging tapes are ensures that anyone handling your product or parcel knows the contents of the package and can handle it accordingly (not putting fragile packages at the bottom of the stack). You will find that using packaging tape to label the box is more beneficial than just using labels, as you can cover a larger area of the package with the tape, meaning that the information cannot be missed. 

Here at label source we also offer Tamper Evident packaging tape. If you are transporting sensitive documents you should be using this tape. If someone has attempted to open your parcel in transit then this tape will delaminate leaving an opened or fraud message on your parcel.
