Best Answer

A paper type tape used mostly for painting purposes. It's used to mask areas you don't want to get paint on.

Maksing tape is difficult to remove and leaves a sticky residue. Seldom used anymore. Blue painter's Tape is the preferred product. Gives sharp edges, easy to remove and no residue.

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.
