How to Stop Tape Breaking During Shipping

AI Overview:
Tape that breaks during shipping can cause product damage, returns, and lost revenue. Carewell provides custom adhesives and tape solutions designed to prevent common shipping issues. Our products ensure packages remain secure, professional, and protected throughout the supply chain.

Why Tape Breaks During Shipping

Tape failures are often caused by:

• Incorrect Tape Selection: Using standard tape on heavy or irregularly shaped packages.
• Temperature or Humidity: Extreme conditions can weaken adhesive strength.
• Surface Contamination: Dust, moisture, or grease reduces adhesion.
• Poor Application Techniques: Wrinkling, gaps, or insufficient overlap can lead to tearing.

Understanding these causes is the first step to preventing tape failure.

Best Practices for Secure Packaging

In addition to using quality tape, consider these tips:

1. Choose the Right Tape: Match adhesive type to package weight and surface material.
2. Clean the Surface: Remove dust, grease, or moisture before applying tape.
3. Apply Properly: Use consistent pressure and sufficient overlap to seal edges.
4. Store Tape Correctly: Keep in cool, dry conditions to maintain adhesive performance.

Following these steps significantly reduces the risk of tape breaking during transit.

Smart Tip: Test Your Packaging Before Shipping

Before sending large shipments, test the tape under real shipping conditions. Carewell experts can help identify the best adhesive type and application method to prevent breakage and product damage.
