How much does insulating tape cost? Here are the best prices
How much does insulating tape cost? Certainly, insulating adhesive tape is not an expensive tool: in most cases, these are rolls retailing for well below one euro each.
However, it’s a good idea to consider costs when a company needs to buy a large number of rolls of insulating tape, and even more so when the supply must be regular over time, thus placing more orders during the course of a year.
In that case, to make sure you choose the best supplier for your insulating tape needs, it is best to look for a product which ensures a better value for money, beginning from an analysis of the insulating tape’s cost.
Among our professional and customizable adhesive tape e-commerce’s highlights is the ability to always offer highly competitive prices: in this article, we will outline what the factors determining the prices of different insulating tape rolls found in our online store are.
How much does electrical tape cost? One of the factors is width
How much does insulating tape cost? Let’s start from the first factor affecting the price of adhesive tape, the width of the tape.
As you can find out for yourself by visiting the section of our e-commerce website dedicated to adhesive tape, there are different sizes to keep in mind.
Obviously, the rolls start from a minimum width, thus with tape rolls with a width of 15 millimetres (0.5 in), which in many cases represents the standard among insulating tape rolls: this tape, in fact, is enough to deal with most of typical operations requiring insulating tape.
However, there are 19 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm and even 50 mm (0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.9 in) wide tape rolls as well. It all depends, of course, on what you need to accomplish with that particular tape.
The price of insulating tape, as you can imagine, increases with the width of the roll.
Let’s consider SCAPA insulating tape as an example, which comes in 9 colours: the 15 mm (0.5 in) rolls retail for 0.43 euros per roll; as the width increases, going up to rolls measuring 19 mm (0.7 in) in width, the price increases proportionally as well, reaching 0.54 euros a roll.
How much does insulating tape cost? Another factor is the length of the roll
Another factor that directly and proportionally affects the purchase cost of insulating tape is obviously the length of the tape, and therefore the meters of tape found in each individual package.
This factor is not surprising at all: a longer roll will last much more, allowing for a much higher number of uses. Normal insulating tape rolls contain 10 meters (32.8 ft) of tape but, if you want, you can buy even bigger rolls, with a length of 25 meters (82 ft).
How much does electrical tape cost? Another factor is quality
Not all insulation tape rolls are the same. There are, for example, high quality PVC insulation tape rolls made to be self-extinguishing: the price, in this case, must be slightly higher than standard or lower quality insulation tape rolls.
The level of dielectric rigidity can change as well, not to mention the mechanical strength, or even the adhesiveness and resistance over time, or the resistance to moisture or UV rays.
Before buying insulating tape it is, therefore, best to think about the use context, to make sure you choose the most suitable adhesive tape.
The main brands of insulating tape
The price of insulating tape can also vary depending on the manufacturer, and therefore the brand of the tape. In our professional adhesive tape e-commerce website, it is possible, for instance to buy adhesive tapes from 3 different manufacturers, at the moment.
There are ACIT insulating tape rolls, produced in our factory, as well as SCAPA and TESA insulating tape rolls: in any case, they are professional insulating tape rolls belonging to internationally known brands.
How much does duct tape cost?
It is therefore not surprising that, considering all the factors listed above, the cost of individual rolls of electrical tape can vary significantly.
We have outlined how simple SCAPA insulating tape in 9 different colours, which come in rolls of 15 mm per 10 m (0.5 inx32.8 ft) costs 0.43 euros, whereas black SCAPA insulating tape, which is 10 meters long and 25 millimetres wide (32.8 ftx0.9 in), IMQ and VDE approved and compliant with BS3924, has a price of 0.79 euros. On the other hand, self-extinguishing ACIT black insulating tape, to give another example, comes in rolls measuring 15 mm wide and 25 m long (0.5 inx82 ft), and it costs 0,68 euros.
Minimum order and shipping costs
In our e-commerce website, for a large section of the products, the individual rolls’ prices vary according to the quantity ordered. It should also be noted that shipping is free for all orders above 199 euros.
