Known as being of high quality, vinyl tapes come in a variety of sizes and colour options with custom printed, clear or brown commonly used. Made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl tape is durable and the seal it gives is long lasting and robust.

1. Easy to use

What makes vinyl tape perfect for warehouse environments is its ease of use. Vinyl tape is tear-resistant - it's flexible and it stretches - so it's less likely to snap or break when being applied. And when it comes to removal, if there's no Stanley knife to hand, it simply peels off.

Ease of use equals cost savings. Efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to excellent operational flow, translating into speedy order fulfilment and a better bottom line.

2. Durable

Vinyl tape is durable. Yes it's made from PVC and no, PVC isn't recyclable yet, but the upside is that vinyl tape can withstand fluctuations in temperature, moisture, abrasions and chemical contamination. This makes it ideal for protecting packages at any stage of transit (warehouse, shipping container or van). Take note, it's also the perfect choice for long term storage requirements.

Durability means protected packages and fewer pennies spent on replacing products that have been damaged during shipping. Customers who receive their items safely and securely are more likely to repeat buy.

3. Safer

Did you know that applying some types of tape can create noise measuring up to 100dB? Imagine this happening repeatedly in a warehouse environment. It's enough to drive anyone mad, never mind the damage it could cause to a person's ear drums. Vinyl tape, however, is the strong and silent type. It doesn't make a noise even though it has a strong, solvent adhesive.

Staying safe always pays off. Too much noise, especially that of the repetitive variety, leads to frustration, annoyance and, in some cases, physical harm. Plus, creating a calm workplace for employees will benefit everyone.

4. Customisable

Customisation is the name of the game when it comes to e-commerce. After all, packaging is the first point of contact with the consumer. But how do you customise your packaging eye-catchingly and inexpensively? The answer is customised packaging tape. Vinyl tape is perfect for the task.

Customising vinyl tape means you can add standardised branding to any package whatever its size without incurring the setup costs of custom printed packaging. Available from The Packaging Club in 3 colours and with no set up fee, it's excellent value for money and your customers will get an unboxing experience worthy of your products.

5. Inexpensive

Vinyl tape is easy to use, durable, safer and customisable: all factors which will enable your business to maximise its profits. With vinyl tape, your packers will be able to pack more, more easily, products will be protected in transit and your tape will work doubly hard by doing your brand marketing for you.

To top it off, vinyl tape is inexpensive generally. You get a lot of bang for your buck.

Conclusion

There's no getting away from the fact that vinyl tape isn't biodegradable and if this is a deal breaker for your business, then you may want to consider a more sustainable option like paper packing tape.

However, vinyl tape fulfils a valuable function in the packaging industry. If you use it with sustainable products, the fact that it is ideal for packaging requirements means you will make environmental savings elsewhere (i.e., less damage, fewer returns, fewer shipments).

If you want a quality, all-round tape, take a look at our vinyl options. This tape is professional, it does the job and it's excellent value for money.
