shipping tape

Parcel sealing strip

Shipping tape is wide, strong adhesive tape used to seal cardboard boxes for mailing or storage.

It's typically clear or brown, made from polypropylene or reinforced paper, and designed to hold securely during handling and transit: I need more shipping tape to close up these packages.

Also called packing tape.
