What goes wrong
Count cartons on the paper-tape rule, not every parcel.
Packaging Wholesale lists Gummed paper tape for this line. Once a bench is on paper tape, the weekly reorder is tape plus water, not a film roll as cover.
The check before you reorder
The line should say water-activated, and standard or reinforced.
The dispenser stays on the bench. Rolls stay dry.
Dispatch on that order
At Packaging Wholesale, Gummed paper tape does not change the cutoff. Orders by 3pm leave the same day. Under £50 ex VAT the delivery is still available. It is just not the free threshold.
