When it comes to appliance packaging and transport, using the right types of tape is crucial for ensuring that products arrive at their destination in perfect condition. From securing large appliances to protecting delicate surfaces, different tapes serve specific functions.

1. Filament Tapes

Filament tapes, reinforced with fiberglass, are used to add extra strength to packaging. Ideal for heavy-duty applications, tapes like BT-300 or BT-021 are often used to seal, palletize or unitize heavy boxes or crates and to reinforce packaging, ensuring it withstands rough handling during transportation.

In addition to the outside of the carton, filament tapes are also commonly used to secure drawers, lids, coffee carafes, and other loose items inside the box to prevent damage.

2. Protective Films

Protective Films are commonly used in appliance packaging. They provide a tight, protective layer around the appliance, safeguarding it from dust, moisture, and physical damage during transportation.

Protective films are often used in conjunction with other tapes to secure the wrap and ensure the appliance remains firmly packaged. These tapes are easily removable and leave no residue. 

Using the appropriate tape for each aspect of appliance packaging and protection not only ensures the safety of your products but also enhances efficiency of the shipping and handling processes.
