Best Answer

There are two components to making masking tape: Thin paper and adhesive. Some masking tape brands are made with polymer or acetate films rather than the thin paper. This kind of tape is stronger and harder to tear. The adhesive on most types of masking tape is synthetic based on the original rubber-based adhesives originally used.

Masking tape is made with paper that is thin and easy to tear. It also has an adhesive that is easily released and pressure-sensitive.

Can I use masking tape to seal my moving boxes?

I wouldn't use masking tape for moving purposes. Masking tape is usually used for painting, to tape off walls. It's easily removable as to not harm the paint, so it's not ideal for packing boxes. You can use masking tape for your move, but it's not the best solution. You should go down to your local post office. They should have some packing tape for sale. But if masking tape is all you have, it should work out OK.
