Box-sealing tape

[1] It is often transparent or tan (beige, buff, brown),[2] but can be had in any color with or without prints and logos.

The tape can be used as a "six-strip" closure or "H-seal" by applying cross strips on the ends of the box.

Automated machinery for application of tape to high-speed lines is also common.

Based on the solid waste hierarchy, the quantity and size of a tape should be minimized without reducing necessary functionality.

For example, there may be instances where the use of a PSA tape, compared to an alternative solution, improves the overall environmental impact: or vice versa.
