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 the exact width, look at the 48 mm number.

Length per roll and per pack

The 100-yard length is the value per roll While 600 yards or 548.64 meters is the calculated total of the 6 rolls in the pack, not a single roll that is 600 yards long, and not a value measured from the actual rolls.

Red core

The product name states that it is a red-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 tape dispenser or specific tool, please ask the shop before ordering.

What is it good for?

• Sealing parcel box flaps or packages before shipping.
• Packing jobs that need clear tape instead of colored or printed tape.
• Shops that want to buy several rolls at once in a single pack.

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. Since it is clear tape, 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 more spots and compare with the 48 mm value, allowing for a slight difference from the tool and how you measure.

Estimating how many packs you need

The tape used per box depends on the box size and how each shop seals it, so you should figure it out from the actual measured length, work it out roll by roll first, and then multiply into packs.

1. Tape 1 box shut the way you normally do, then measure the total length of all the tape strips in meters.
2. Divide 91.44 by the tape length per box to get roughly how many boxes 1 roll can do, then round down.
3. Multiply the number of boxes per roll by 6 to get roughly how many boxes 1 pack can do.
4. Divide the number of boxes you want to ship by the number of boxes per pack to find out how many packs you need, then round up.
5. Allow some extra tape for wasted cuts or re-taping.
