When recycled cartons will not stay closed, the problem usually comes from the carton surface, flap stress, storage condition, or the way pressure-sensitive tape is applied. A practical tape for recycled boxes should be selected after checking surface dust, recycled linerboard strength, box weight, cargo shape, temperature, humidity, tape leg length, and application pressure. This guide is for warehouse packing, e-commerce fulfillment, export cartons, and distribution handling where boxes reopen, tape edges lift, or center seams split after stacking. The final choice should be confirmed by sample testing before full use, because performance depends on the actual carton batch and working condition.
