grossisses

Grossistes are a type of type of adhesive tape commonly used for closing and holding packages or opening a sealed envelope without damaging the flap. They are typically clear or transparent and consist of a thin layer of adhesive backing, similar to Scotch tape, but with a unique texture that allows it to selectively adhere to paper or cardboard surfaces while allowing other materials to pass through.

The term "grossist" is actually the French word for "wholesale," but in the context of tape, it refers specifically to this particular type of adhesive. Grossistes have become popular among professionals working in shipping, receiving, and retail environments, who use them to seal fragile items or packages while retaining the sealing flap for later re-opening. This feature is particularly useful for items that are fragile, have delicate corners, or need to be easily reopened without damaging or leaving residue on surrounding surfaces.

Grossistes come in various widths and lengths, usually made of cellulose-based paper or thin plastic sheets coated with a gentle adhesive. When applied, the tape adheres to paper or cardboard, allowing the user to easily close packages, files, or other materials with minimal effort. The adhesive tape also allows goods to be easily inspected and perhaps changed without leaving permanent adhesives or openings on the sealed package. Grossistes can be used repeatedly, entrusted to sealing loosely packaged items or temporary solutions where traditional tape has proven ineffective due to their combination of reliable hold and easily removability. Users can simply peel off, preserve the seal, and re-seal packages repeatedly when necessary.
