Product Information

Sizes to know before buying

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

Shops in Thailand often call tape of this width “2-inch clear tape”, but if converted directly, a full 2 inches equals 50.8 mm. This product uses 48 mm as the main value, which is about 2.8 mm narrower than a full 2 inches. If you need an exact width, look at the 48 mm figure.

How many meters is 45 yards in length?

1 yard equals 0.9144 m, so 45 yards × 0.9144 = 41.148 m This number comes from unit conversion calculation, not a measurement from the actual roll.

Orange core

The product name states that it is an orange-core clear tape, 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 kind of use is it suitable for?

• Sealing parcel box flaps or packages before shipping
• Packing jobs that need clear tape instead of colored or printed tape
• Shops that want a roll length of 45 yards per roll

How to measure tape width

1. Pull out a little bit of tape and lay it flat on a smooth surface without stretching or twisting it.
2. You can place it on dark paper to see the tape edges more clearly.
3. Place a ruler or vernier caliper with a mm scale straight across the tape edges, then read the value from one edge to the other.
4. Measure 2–3 spots again and compare with the 48 mm value, allowing for a slight difference from the tool and measuring method.

Estimate the number of rolls needed

The tape used per box depends on the box size and how each shop seals it, so you should calculate from the actual measured length.

1. Seal 1 box the way you normally do, then measure the total length of all tape strips in meters.
2. Take 41.148 ÷ tape length per box = approximate 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 for miscut tape or re-sealing.
