LBC Express Grand Rapids, Michigan Box shipping taping tips. Two of the most important things to keep in mind when shipping boxes. Number one never use duct tape this tape will peel off your box when it gets into the container and is subject to heat. If you want to use duct tape as a reinforcement around all of the corners of the box that is fine as long as you go over it with the clear box tape. The best tape to use is clear box tape that has the fiberglass reinforcement strands built in this tape sticks very well and it's very strong.
