The width of the tape is 48 mm and the thickness corresponds to the manufacturer’s specifications of 48 µm. It is a single-sided adhesive tape. The parcel tape is available in black, brown and transparent. The material is transparent and the surface has a glossy effect. The structure of the tape is elastic and soft. The edges and surfaces of the tape are even and have no processing defects. The layers of the tape are neatly arranged and the separating film between the layers also fits in perfectly .
The tape can be easily pulled into length. This reduces the width and thickness of the tape. After stretching, the tape contracts again, but does not return to its original shape.
This is what our practical test showed

Handling the adhesive tape from Tiger Kraft was extremely straightforward. It can be applied quickly and easily. There is a suitable adhesive tape for everyone with a choice of 3 different colors(black, brown and transparent). It would be nice to have a suitable dispenser for the tape. We used it for sending parcels and went over the glued areas again after taping . The tape is easy to remove from the roll and sticks very well. The tape is ideal for sealing light to medium-weight boxes and shipping cartons, moving boxes, label protection and other applications. It can also be used with all standard hand dispensers. The adhesive surface consists of a PP film (BOPP) carrier and an acrylate adhesive. With a length of 66 m and a thickness of 48 µm, this adhesive tape is ready for any task.
