packaging tape

Carton closure strip

Packaging tape is wide adhesive tape used to seal cardboard boxes and packages for shipping or storage.

It typically comes in clear or brown varieties, dispensed from handheld rollers that cut the tape after application.

I need more packaging tape—we're out and I still have ten boxes to seal.
