Choosing your width & roll length

Two decisions, both worth getting right before a bulk order — one affects seal strength, the other affects how often you're re-ordering.

Width

1"

Smaller parcels & bundling

Works well for smaller boxes or securing bundles where a full 2" seal is more than you need.

2"

The standard

Fits most carton sizes. If you're not sure what you need, this is the width to default to.

3"

Larger or heavier boxes

A wider seal for bigger cartons or heavier contents that need extra hold across the flap.

Roll length

Roll length is mostly about how often you want to be changing rolls — it doesn't affect the seal itself. 65m is our standard length and the right default for most orders. 50m suits lower-volume or occasional packing. 100m reduces roll changes on higher-volume runs, and custom lengths are available for automated lines with specific spindle requirements.

Still not sure?

Request a sample roll before committing to a bulk order — it's the easiest way to confirm width, print quality, and adhesive all work for your actual boxes before you order in volume.
