FAQs
Why does my tape not work? How can I make it work?
Using generous amount of water and filling your tank regularly for your dispenser will resolve this issue. If you are trying to apply this tape on existing plastic shipping tape the binding will not be the best. For best results this tape should be applied after using water directly on the card board box.

How do you ship the tapes?
I ship these tapes depending upon quantities purchased and the cheapest USPS PARCEL SELECT GROUND. If you have purchased 1 roll then it will be shipped in a padded envelope or a box with USPS parcel select ground. For 2 or 3 rolls I generally use Fedex Ground/Home depending upon your shipping location.

What is Fiberglass diamond wiring?
That is the design of wiring used in this tape. If you notice the pictures closely the Fiberglass diamond wiring design helps holding the boxes in place. There are 6 fiberglass wires which run the length of the tape and there is criss cross wiring to supplement support of the tape and your boxes.

PR Shipping:
If the item will fit in a USPS flat rate box I will ship it to PR. Please do not choose FeDex 2 Day for PR as Fedex does not deliver to PR in 2 days
