I've got a supplier from china who does this on every package. It's not too bad if your carton cutter blade isn't blunt as fuck

Deal with this all the time with our Chinese manufacturers. But that's cause they reuse a box until it's more tape than box.

Legit. But all the ones I get from China factories is covered in yellow tape.

That’s how my sister wraps Christmas presents, I wonder if I should use my chainsaw to open them in future?

As a UPS employee I like that tape job. If you’re returning a pkg to Amazon, stop using scotch tape! Trust me, it will go to hell and back.

Blue packing tape is fun stuff. More like sticky plastic wrap, but strong. Never seen it outside speciality warehouse stores, though

You've never wrapped drugs for ocean travel?

I've never seen such a cooperative tape dispenser.
I've worked in the field, the company bought good tape and good dispensers.
SockiSimian
The little metal hand dispensers like he's using are GREAT. Gotta clean the gunk off occasionally or it doesn't cut as fast. We use U-line.

Knives exist and crucial if you are someone who receives many packages

That is a huge waste of tape.

They're using quite a few leak proof coldpacks in there too, maybe meds or food

My business gets packages from China all the time and they are all wrapped like this. Packages get beat to hell in transit.

To stop left pic. Fold a corner of the tape end when finished, super easy to start next time.
And folding a corner doesn't remove much of the overall strength of the tape.
MrJwinkyface
I sent century link my router back and used Justin beiber tape. Thought that was passive aggressive enough
theHappyAlien
Good. Fuck CL and their slow ass speeds
mybrothersmario
CenturyLink and Comcast are the only options for me... At the same prices I can get 20/.5 from CL or 175/5 Comcast and it's been more stable
When you're shittier than Comcast maybe it's time to reevaluate...

That guy sure knows his way around a box.
Kbantar
Around but never in.

All that tape does nothing for a sharp point on a seam
Ogri
Doesn't do much for the environment either

Lol wut
jpparkenbone
Yeah, my pocket knife would have that open pretty quick.

Oh stfu, geez lol

My best guess would be they do it to waterproof it. Or just doing pointless things for pointless internet point. /shrug

also your boss would fire you for waste of work material i betcha

I deliver mail and see this often, they are just styrofoam boxes, so they do it to keep it held together in case its crushed (it usually is)
painfullfox
You'd be surprised how many people do this when flying.
DoDucHuy
They tape it to make it super obvious if anyone tries to slit the package before it arrives at the destination.
carmeCookieRunner
Yes but the customer can’t say that the box wasn’t properly sealed. Lol
CoeusDarksoul
You kidding? Karen would absolutely say that, no matter what.

I've ordered some stuff off ebay that was packaged like this from China. I think it's mostly so the package isn't fucked with.
thesleeve3d
Probably harvested organs.

Wrapping packages in China.. cheaper to use half a roll of tape on each package for 50 years than it is to fix the roof of the warehouse
YayItsMillerTime
Gotta keep the coronavirus locked in tight
SherMattLockSmith
From what I heard it is a tamper evident seal they use to mark their packages and keep them from being broken into.
absoliutenus
If it's shipped overseas and gets open by customs it won't matter
cliffjumper83
A standard amazon taping is a tamper evident seal. If they go thru the side of the box that is evident on its own
They are being cheap, amazon tape uses printing, this is just a plain color but is distinctive and package thieves are unlikely to have.
The gum tape is actually cheaper because you use about 1/3 the amount for similar taping with celo-tape. My job is fun -.-
Zadwanaa
I dunno, looks like hes wrapping drugs for ocean travel
Definitely wrapping drugs for ocean travel.

Where else do you think your fentanyl comes from, young man? Across the sea from China, deftly wrapped for ocean travel!
