Did you know?

Better Packages has been a "natural" packaging company since 1917. Our biodegradable paper tape and durable tape dispensers (that last an average of 16 years!) have helped customers from around the world, in various industries "green up" their secondary packaging.

Secondary packaging is an area where a simple change can make a significant positive impact upon your company's sustainability efforts. To move in an environmentally-friendly direction, consider switching from plastic tape to water activated tape!

BetterSeal Secure Tape
Use Recyclable packaging materials
Better Pack non-reinfored tape is made from natural, plant-based, 100% biodegradable materials. Plastic tape is made from petroleum— a non-renewable fossil fuel. The majority of paper tapes are completely biodegradable, recyclable and repulpable. Plastic tape does not biodegrade in nature.

Better Pack 555eSA and AMD Reduce material waste
One strip of Better Pack Tape™ is all that is needed for a strong, reliable, secure seal. When compared to plastic pressure-sensitive tape, pictured left, many strips are typically applied to seal the carton using a handheld tape gun.

BetterSeal Secure Tape
Remove unnecessary packaging
Because Better Pack Tape™ forms a strong permanent bond, heavy items can be packed in smaller boxes with less filler material. And because paper tape is tamper-evident, less filler material is needed to protect expensive items and keep would-be thieves out.

Better Pack 333Plus
Reduce landfill deposits
Compare the estimated 16 to 20 year life expectancy of a Better Pack dispenser with an estimated 3-month life-span of a handheld tape gun, both getting consistent use. Over a period of 16 years, one Better Pack tape dispenser can prevent as many as 64 tape guns being discarded into landfills!
