Frequently Asked Questions
Is cloth tape waterproof or weather-resistant?
Yes, our cloth tapes are made with a waterproof adhesive and a polythene-coated fabric backing, which provides excellent resistance to moisture. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. While they are not designed for full submersion, fabric adhesive tape performs well in damp or humid conditions and holds up against exposure to light rain or splashes, making it reliable for temporary or long-term applications in varied environments.
Can cloth tape be torn by hand, or do I need a cutting tool?
Cloth tape is designed for ease of use and can be cleanly torn by hand—no scissors or cutting tools required. The flexible woven backing of the fabric tape allows for effortless application, even in tight or awkward spaces.
How strong is cloth tape compared to other packaging tapes?
When it comes to strength and durability, cloth tapes outperform many standard packaging tapes, such as polypropylene tape. With their reinforced fabric backing and strong adhesive, they are capable of handling heavier loads and more rugged conditions. However, they may not be as heavy-duty as specialised options like duct tape or reinforced shipping tape.
Is cloth tape suitable for use on cardboard cartons and other packaging materials?
Yes, cloth tape is well-suited for sealing and bundling cardboard cartons and adheres effectively to a variety of surfaces including plastic, metal, and wood. Its strong adhesive and durable fabric construction allow it to grip securely, even on rough or uneven surfaces.
