Most adhesive tapes have a shelf life of 1-2 years, although they can last up to 5 years. The adhesive shelf life of each material varies and the project determines how important it is.
Flexible and hard-wearing, it is also known as parcel or packaging tape. Scotch tape is another commonly used term, especially in North America. However, Scotch is a brand name owned by the 3M Corporation.
Tape adhesives, often referred to as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), are made of materials that rely on physical responses to improve stickiness. These materials include silicones, acrylics and rubbers that have been reinforced with tacky resin. Parcel tape is usually brown but transparent or coloured tapes are also available. It is a pressure-sensitive product, meaning its self-adhesive properties are activated once pressed into place. Most packaging tape is made from the plastic polymers polyester or polypropylene (sometimes shortened to polypro).
Most people are familiar with and by far most likely to purchase brown package tape for tasks requiring sturdy and dependable seals. This multipurpose tape is perfect for bundling, sealing, and wrapping.
Simply put, translucent plastic packaging tape is known as clear parcel tape. This multipurpose tape often composed of polypropylene, has the benefit of being a visually inconspicuous sealer. Although 3M also produces brown Scotch packing tape and sticky tape in other colours it is occasionally used interchangeably with transparent tape.
