Product info

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 equals 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, go by the 48 mm number.

Length per roll and per pack

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

Red core

The product name states that it is brown tape with a red core, which helps you check that the item matches what you ordered. The size or material of the core is not stated on this page. If you need to use it with a tape dispenser or a 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 brown tape instead of clear tape or printed tape
• Shops that want to buy several rolls at a time 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. Place a ruler or vernier caliper with a mm scale straight across the tape edge, then read the measurement from one edge to the other.
3. Measure 2–3 spots and compare with the 48 mm size, allowing for a slight difference from the tool and how you measure.

Figuring out how many packs you need

The amount of tape used per box depends on the box size and how each shop seals it, so you should base it on the actual length you measure, work it out per 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 need 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.
