Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does tape colour (e.g., Fragile) assist in pallet handling?
Using printed packing tape (like “Fragile” or “Handle with Care”) informs warehouse staff how to treat the pallet even after it has been covered in pallet stretch wrapping, helping to prevent damage.

What standard warning messages do you keep in stock?
We stock all industry-standard high-visibility texts. These feature bold red text on a crisp white background to ensure immediate visibility for courier handlers.

Can printed message tape help lower our transit damage claims?
Yes. Utilising high-visibility fragile warning tape forces courier networks and sorting facility staff to handle your consignments with greater care. It also serves as clear evidence if a package has been dropped or stacked incorrectly during transit.

Does your message tape provide a secure seal, or do I need to use clear tape underneath?
Our printed message tapes are built on an industrial-strength polypropylene backing with a high-tack adhesive. They function perfectly as a standalone, heavy-duty box sealant, there is absolutely no need to waste money or time double-taping with clear film.

Is message tape tamper-evident for high-value shipping?
Yes. Because it features a distinct pattern and bold text, any attempt to slice open the box and patch it over with standard clear tape will be instantly obvious. This makes it an excellent, low-cost loss-prevention tool.
