Plastic-free adhesive tape that works exactly like the regular stuff - we use it to pack every single order we send out.
Made from kraft paper with a rubber-based adhesive, it tears cleanly by hand, sticks well, and comes on a 50m roll so it lasts a decent while. Paper sourced from the EU, manufactured in the UK, and packaged without any plastic.
Available in 24mm (standard) or 48mm (wider, better for boxes and parcels), plus a 48mm version printed with "Fragile Handle With Care" for parcels that need a bit of looking after. If you're sorting out your gift wrapping, our recycled natural cotton twine pairs well with it - and we also stock printed paper tape if you'd like something a bit more decorative. A bamboo tape dispenser makes using it even easier.
24mm - the standard width for envelopes, gift wrapping and lighter parcels.
48mm - wider, for sealing cardboard boxes and heavier parcels.
48mm printed "Fragile Handle With Care" - the wide tape with the warning printed along it, so couriers get the message without a separate label.
Does paper tape stick as well as plastic tape?
For most everyday uses - packaging boxes, wrapping gifts, sealing envelopes - yes, it does the job just as well. It won't perform quite as well in very damp or cold conditions, but for normal use it's a reliable swap.
Which width of paper tape should I choose?
The 24mm width works well for general wrapping and lighter parcels. The 48mm is better for sealing cardboard boxes securely - it covers more surface area and gives a stronger hold on heavier packages.
Can paper tape go in the recycling?
Yes - it's both recyclable and biodegradable. Unlike plastic tape, you don't need to remove it from cardboard boxes before putting them in the recycling.
Does the tape come with a dispenser?
No, but we sell a bamboo tape dispenser separately if you want one.
