Buying Brown Parcel Tape

Where do folk here buy their brown parcel tape ?

I've always just used the Wilko tape, which used to be 50p, then it went up ... and up ... and up  .. it's £1 now

It's quite sticky, so not too bad, but I was just wondering whether there are better / cheaper alternatives. I previously bought on ebay, but it was so unsticky, it was a battle trying to get it to stick to a cardboard box

    The tape is of decent quality, particularly the clear tape which is thicker than the stuff you can get elsewhere.

    I feel a bit naive now because I think £1 is cheap.    :/

  • I buy it, aswell as clear, from B&M or The Works, you definitely get what you pay for with tapes.

    Moneysaving isn't about buying the cheapest thing at all, moneysaving is about getting value for money.

    You can get a pack of 6 coloured tape rolls for £1.31 plus vat from kite packaging which is great to add to your branding colours in white, red, blue or green. I have lost parcels in the past and telling the parcel staff the colour of the tape makes a huge difference to finding it quickly.
