Fragile tape is one of the most crucial aspects of your moving and storage transition. Reducing the expenses associated with moving is an important task that must not be overlooked, and fragile tape is at the forefront of this. This is mainly due to the correct labelling of your boxes, and fragile tape is the best way to do this. By ensuring that all your packages are correctly taped and labelled, this will guarantee that there is no damage to your goods during the handling process of moving. Additionally, to the costs associated with damaged goods, the fragile tape can also help avoid the time expenditure. Replacing these goods, or merely returning them to whoever sent them, will prove to be a tedious task that can be easily avoided with fragile tape.

FAQs
What is fragile tape?
In short, the fragile tape is an industrial-grade tape that is commonly used for packaging boxes and other delicate objects, so that you can let your removalists know which items to take care of. The use of fragile tape can save you ample time and costs when moving or storing your goods. Without fragile tape, the movers may be unaware of what items are fragile or not. If this does occur, then your things may be damaged in the move, resulting in costs and time expenditure that could be avoided throughout your move.
Is fragile tape damaging?
Fragile tape is made to stick, and it does. So, if it is removed improperly, the adhesive may attract dirt, ruin the appearance of possessions and stick to other things. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps to ensure that fragile tape does not damage your goods. Firstly, remove all the remaining tape. If the fragile tape is stubborn, you can set your hair dryer to medium and soften the adhesive. Secondly, add a small amount of an oil-based product to a rag, leave it for 5-10 minutes, then wipe the area where the fragile tape was with a dry rag. The residue then will rinse off. Thirdly, if the previous technique does not remove the fragile tape adhesive, then wash the area thoroughly with soapy water. Follow this by doing the same as the oil-based product, but with a commercial solvent-based goo remover. Read the label carefully, as plastic, glass, painted items and finished wood is susceptible to damage from this product. Finally, after the adhesive is removed from step one or two, rewash it with soapy water to ensure everything is removed.
Is fragile tape recyclable?
One of the biggest questions involving fragile tape is, “is it recyclable?” The short answer is no. Unlike paper tape, fragile tape is polypropylene-based, which means that it cannot be recycled. However, there are ways to combat this. Regardless of the type of tape, you can still recycle the cardboard boxes that are used. This can be done by removing the fragile tape from the pack. When cardboard boxes reach the recycling plant, the boxes are soaked in water that then causes the tape to fall away. Although, packages that contain too much fragile tape will get snagged in the recycling machine and cause them not properly to recycle the product. Therefore, it is imperative to use fragile tape sparingly, and if you use more, you must remove the majority of it from the box.
How much fragile tape do I need?
How much fragile tape needed for a job is a question that is commonly asked when buying tape. Several variables are involved when asking this question. Firstly, you can base this off how many boxes are needed for fragile items. If it is a limited number, one roll of fragile tape would be enough, however, if you find there to be tens of boxes that contain items that are deemed valuable, then getting two or three rolls of fragile tape is deemed suitable. It is also important not to overbuy your fragile tape. Fragile tape is best used sparingly, as once it is applied, it can be quite challenging to remove. Due to this, by buying only the amount you need is imperative in saving time when finishing your move or storage needs.
