Duck® brand HP260 Packaging Tape proves real-world holding power with box shipped around the country
To test the real-world holding power of its HP260 High Performance Packaging Tape, the Duck brand used it to seal a 20-pound box and then sent it on an incredible journey across the country. The box traveled to 10 cities, logged more than 20,000 miles from coast to coast and proved the amazing sticking power of this commercial-grade, acrylic packaging tape.
Designed to meet the demands of both heavy-duty box shipping and long-term storage applications, HP260’s real-world test confirmed it can withstand rough handling and extreme hot and cold storage conditions, such as planes, trucks and warehouses.
During the month-long quest, the box crisscrossed the nation, landing in 10 cities and accumulating more than 20,000 miles of real-world wear and tear. The package returned safely back home to Avon, Ohio, with box and contents still intact and the tape still holding strong. As a souvenir of each stop, the box was taken to a famous landmark and photographed – each snapshot can be viewed at www.duckrealworldtest.com.
