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 unit 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 figure.

How many meters is 45 yards?

1 yard equals 0.9144 m, so 45 yards × 0.9144 = 41.148 m This number comes from converting the unit, not from measuring the actual roll.

Orange core

The product name states that it is brown tape with an orange 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 rolls with a length of 45 yards per roll.

How to measure tape width

1. Pull out a small piece 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, and read the measurement.
3. Measure 2–3 spots and compare with the 48 mm size, allowing for a slight difference from the tool and how you measure.

How to estimate how many rolls you need

The amount of tape used per box depends on the box size and how each shop seals it, so it is best to calculate from the actual length you measure.

1. Seal 1 box the way you normally do, then measure the total length of all pieces of tape in meters.
2. Divide 41.148 ÷ tape length per box = rough number of boxes per 1 roll, then round down.
3. Divide 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 miscut tape or boxes that need re-sealing.
