including clear, are available. Duct tape was developed in 1942 during
World War II as a waterproof sealing tape for use on ammunition casings.
Today it's used to keep
boxes securely sealed during shipping and storage as well as over a
thousand more uses.
The name "duct tape" was devised from its use as a sealant on heating
and air conditioning ducts. Ironically, several states including
California have been deemed ?duct tape? ineffective by building codes
standards. However, because of its strong adhesive quality, many
shippers use it to securely seal boxes and packages for shipping.
Duct tape can be purchased from office supply stores, discount stores,
local hardware stores, and online shipping supplies resources. The
prices vary dramatically with hardware stores generally being higher.
This multi-purpose packaging adhesive tape is remarkably handy and can
be ordered easily from a good online shipping supplies resource at an
economical price.
