Packing tape Tesa Basic transparent 45 mm × 40 m (H5857400)

Tesa Basic transparent packing tape, 45 mm × 40 m, is a general-purpose adhesive tape intended for everyday sealing of boxes, cartons and parcels. The transparent backing allows labels and printed information to remain visible while providing sufficient adhesion for light- to medium-duty closure tasks. The tape is compatible with manual tape dispensers and can also be applied by hand for quick home, office or warehouse packing operations.

Advantages

This Tesa Basic tape offers a balance of clarity and holding power suited to routine packaging jobs. Its uniform adhesive layer promotes smooth unwinding and consistent bonding on common corrugated and carton surfaces. The 45 mm width gives adequate coverage for box seams while the 40 m roll length reduces the frequency of roll changes during repetitive sealing tasks.

Suitable for

• Sealing moving boxes and storage cartons
• Closing parcels for postal and courier services
• Routine office and home packing tasks
• Light-duty warehouse packaging and bundling

Key specifications

• Width: 45 mm
• Length: 40 m
• Type: transparent packing tape
• Compatibility: manual dispensers and hand application
• Recommended use: light- to medium-duty sealing of cartons and parcels

How to use

Ensure the box or carton surface is clean, dry and free of dust or loose debris before applying the tape. For dispenser use, feed the tape through the dispenser and apply with steady pressure along the seam, smoothing the tape to remove air pockets. For hand application, cut or tear the required length and press firmly along the closure to secure edges. When sealing heavier cartons, apply additional strips as needed to reinforce the closure.

Usage recommendations

Store the roll at room temperature away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve adhesion. For optimum results on heavy or irregular surfaces, consider using a higher-strength packaging tape. Dispose of used cores and backing material according to local recycling guidelines.
