Tape is an incredible invention. It binds things without crushing them, protects them with minimal materials, and offers all sorts of opportunities to decorate and brand the packages it closes. But are you, your mailroom, and your office at large getting the most out of your tape and the way you use it? Here’s how the right packing tape can save your company money and do so much more.
An Economical Tool
Packing tape is always a great investment. It’s affordable, it never goes bad, and it’s easy to figure out how much you’ll need for the week, the month, or even the year. Buy tape in bulk so that you can save in the long-term, and always look for a better deal so that you can stock up and save down the line. You can rely on tape to remain a high-return/low-cost investment, and you’ll always need more.
Stronger Tape Means More Savings
Most people tend to buy plastic packing tape for three reasons: convenience, affordability, and the speed with which you can apply it. But consider investing in a higher-grade water-activated packing tape. Kraft paper tape is stronger, more durable, resists the weather and moisture, and is a greener choice. Its powerful hold during the entire shipping process ensures the products you ship are properly protected and arrive intact, saving you money on shipping and returns. When a staff is well-versed in operating a water-resistant tape machine, your processing will speed up and soar.
Brand Big!
When considering how the right packing tape can save your company money, don’t forget the importance and potent messaging possibilities of tape. Paper tape is easily imprinted with slogans, websites, email addresses, QR codes, logos, and other kinds of messaging. Plastic tape can come in your company or organization’s colors and can feature the above messaging and imagery. Don’t let an opportunity to put your thoughts and promotions out there slip by. Personalized and imprinted tape does double duty, protecting your packages while advertising your business.
Serve and Protect
The right tape ensures that your shipped materials are kept safe until they’re in your clients’ and customers’ hands. Packages won’t burst open when you use the right tape, which means less chance of spillage or spoilage along the way. Tape dissuades most thieves, as well, and keeps out water, snow, and other things that can creep in and destroy the products inside. Choose the right tape for your packaging and note the savings in your bottom line!
