How long will it take to receive shipped items
Hello, 3-5 business days not including weekends. Thank you for your question.
I heard shipments to Arizona, where it's 115 degrees F, can melt the adhesive of normal plastic tapes. Will this paper tape hold up better in extreme heat? Or which tape you recommend for that?
Hello! This tape won't melt unless it reaches 200 degrees fahrenheit, so you do not need to worry about it melting in the Arizona heat. I hope that is helpful!
What is the adhesive made of? Is it natural rubber (aka latex reactive?)
Hello, Kiernan! The adhesive of our box and packaging paper tape is made of solvent cast natural/synthetic rubber. I hope that is helpful!
Is this the best tape to buy to assemble your standard medium and large moving boxes? The boxes will be shipped long distance by a moving company truck. Thanks.
Hi, Tracy! For shipping, we recommend our Packaging/Mailing Tape. If the boxes are especially heavy, you can also opt for our Shipping/Strapping Tape. I hope that is helpful!
Hello, will this tape leave a sticky residue like it you wrap it around metal table legs? I am moving and planning to store some items for 2 - 3 months. Don't want ho have an ugly surprise when I remove the tape.
Hi, Manuela! We do not recommend placing tape directly onto furniture or hard surfaces. If you need to wrap furniture for storage, we recommend wrapping the item in Packing Paper and placing the tape on the paper rather than directly onto the furniture. Thanks for asking!
