Packaging tape is used to seal and secure your packages , and to

help protect and preserve the contents inside during storage and

transportation . Adhesive tape is made up of two main elements :

a backing ( film or paper ) , and an adhesive mass ( glue ) . The quality

of the packaging tape depends on the type and thickness of the

film used . The thickness of the film , shown in microns

( 1 / 1000 mm ) , plays a crucial role in the strength and durability

of the tape used .
