Packing tape for moving, 200-metre rolls
A long 200-metre roll of adhesive packing tape for sealing cartons and securing wrapping. One roll goes a long way on a house move. Price: KES 300 per roll.
What it is used for
- Sealing the top and bottom of moving boxes
- Securing bubble wrap and brown wrapping paper
- Bundling items such as curtain rods and bed slats
- Keeping drawers and doors closed in transit
How many rolls do I need?
Taping a box across the top and bottom uses roughly 2 metres, so one 200-metre roll seals about 80 to 100 boxes. Most 1 or 2-bedroom moves need one roll; larger homes need two or three, plus a little extra for wrapping.
Tips
- Tape along the centre seam, then across the edges, for heavy boxes.
- Do not tape directly onto polished wood or painted surfaces, as it can leave marks.
