Packing tape Tesa 4713 paper 50 m x 50 mm brown, suitable for indoor use

Tesa 4713 paper packing tape is a brown, pressure-sensitive paper tape designed for indoor packaging tasks. With a tape thickness of 0.125 mm, 10% elongation at break, 50 m roll length and 50 mm width, this tape is intended for sealing cartons, parcel packaging and light-duty bundling where recyclable materials and easy tearing are preferred. The paper construction makes it compatible with paper-based packaging and suitable for environments that prioritise recyclability and straightforward pack-line processing.

Advantages

This brown paper tape combines paper backing with an adhesive formulation tailored for indoor sealing, offering a balance between reliable adhesion and clean removal where paper-compatible systems are used. Its 50 m roll length and 50 mm width provide standard coverage for common carton sizes, while the low elongation and moderate thickness ensure predictable behaviour when tearing by hand or with a dispenser. Being paper-based, it supports recycling streams where plastic-backed tapes are not wanted.

Suitable for

• Sealing corrugated cardboard cartons for retail and storage
• Parcel packaging in offices, warehouses and e-commerce fulfilment
• Light-duty bundling and securing of paper-based products
• Packaging lines that require recyclable, paper-based tape materials

When it may not be suitable

This tape is designed for indoor use and for applications where a paper tape is acceptable. It may not be suitable for heavy-duty sealing, exposure to moisture, outdoor use, or where high-strain or high-elasticity performance is required. For very heavy loads or long-term outdoor storage, a reinforced or plastic-backed tape would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Backing material: paper
• Colour: brown
• Thickness: 0.125 mm
• Elongation at break: 10%
• Roll length: 50 m
• Width: 50 mm
• Intended use: indoor packaging

How to use

Apply the tape to clean, dry cardboard or paper surfaces. For hand application, unroll the required length, press firmly along the seam or joint and tear or cut the tape to finish. For faster operation, use a standard tape dispenser designed for 50 mm tapes. Apply pressure along the tape to ensure good contact with the substrate. Store unopened rolls in a cool, dry place to preserve adhesive performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure paper backing is compatible with your recycling requirements and packaging materials
• Confirm indoor-only suitability if packages may face moisture or outdoor transit
• Check that 50 mm width and 50 m length meet your operational needs and dispenser compatibility

Usage recommendations

For best results, use tesa 4713 on clean, dry cardboard at room temperature; apply firm pressure after placement and cut with a dispenser for consistent edges. For heavier cartons or moist conditions, select a reinforced or plastic-backed tape instead.
