Product Information

Sizes to know before buying

48 mm width and the term “2-inch brown tape”

Shops in Thailand often call tape of this width “2-inch brown tape”, but if you convert the units directly, a full 2 inches is 50.8 mm. This product uses 48 mm as the main size, which is about 2.8 mm narrower than a full 2 inches. If you need an exact width, please go by the 48 mm number.

How many meters is 100 yards in length?

1 yard equals 0.9144 m, so 100 yards × 0.9144 = 91.44 m This number comes from unit conversion math, not from measuring the actual roll.

Red Core

The product name states it is brown tape with a red core, which helps you check that the item matches your order. This page does not state the size or material of the core. If you need to use it with a specific dispenser, please ask the shop before ordering.

What is it good for?

• Sealing parcel box flaps or packages before shipping.
• Packing jobs that need brown tape instead of clear tape or printed tape.
• Shops that want a length of 100 yards per roll.

How to measure the tape width

1. Pull out a little bit of tape and lay it flat on a smooth surface without stretching or twisting it.
2. Place a ruler or vernier caliper with a mm scale straight across the tape from edge to edge, then read the measurement from one edge to the other.
3. Measure 2–3 spots and compare them to the 48 mm size, allowing for a small difference from the tool and how you measure.

Estimating how many rolls you need

The tape used per box depends on the box size and how each shop seals their boxes, so it is best to work it out from the actual length you measure.

1. Seal 1 box the way you normally do, then measure the total length of all the tape strips combined in meters.
2. Take 91.44 ÷ tape length per box = rough number of boxes per 1 roll, then round down.
3. Take the number of boxes to ship ÷ number of boxes per roll = number of rolls needed, then round up.
4. Keep some extra rolls on hand for tape that gets miscut or needs re-sealing.
