Luxury goods have become one of the fastest growing e-commerce categories worldwide. The luxury e-commerce market is projected to be over 10% of the total market in 2018. And online luxury sales are expected to grow 8% annually. To delight customers with high expectations, proper packing and shipping is key.

Using professional packing tape wastes less material and ensures a safer, more efficient packing process. Water-activated tape also helps your packages look professional without revealing what’s inside the box. For luxury goods, plastic tape may not be the right choice for your brand’s appearance.

Plastic tape floats on top of a corrugated carton and therefore is not tamper-evident. Would-be thieves can push the carton open and take whatever high value items they’d like and reseal without a trace. Water-activated paper tape, on the other hand, adheres to the carton and deters package theft, an important consideration when sending luxury products to customers.

If customers don’t receive their items, it can be very costly to your business’s bottom line and damaging to your brand’s reputation. To protect your high-value shipments, use water-activated tape to seal your cartons.

You only need one strip of tape to secure a carton with a strong seal. It creates a professional image.
