Globe Packaging has published a guide comparing recyclable and plastic-free packaging tape options for UK businesses, examining how different tape formats perform across the operational needs of small to medium-sized enterprises.

The guide addresses documented shifts in UK consumer behaviour. An Office for National Statistics report found that 86.5% of UK adults said they had made lifestyle changes for environmental reasons, while a Deloitte report found that one in three UK consumers had stopped purchasing from certain brands due to ethical or sustainability concerns.
Globe Packaging said the guide is intended to help SMEs align their tape choices with customer values without disrupting existing workflows. The company noted that businesses adopting recyclable options may also be positioning themselves ahead of evolving compliance pressures, and that the comparison format is designed to allow for quick evaluation and straightforward implementation.
Globe Packaging's guide examines three no-plastic tape options: Xtegra Water Activated Tape, PacPlan Kraft Paper Tape, and PayPal White Kraft Paper Tape. Each is recyclable but designed for different operational scenarios, the company said.
Water-activated tape requires a dispenser and bonds chemically to cardboard fibres, creating tamper-evident seals suited to high-volume or high-security applications. Self-adhesive kraft paper tape functions like conventional packaging tape, offering a straightforward option for standard parcel weights without additional equipment.
PayPal White Kraft Paper Tape offers the same self-adhesive convenience with a cleaner appearance suited to branded or presentation-focused packaging. Globe Packaging said its comparison framework is intended to help businesses match tape types to their specific requirements rather than relying on a single default option.
Globe Packaging offers next working day delivery and same-day dispatch on qualifying orders, supporting businesses that need to act quickly on packaging decisions. The company said that with stock available immediately, businesses can review the guide, place an order, and receive their tape within 24 hours.
