Two seams per box
Every box wants tape along the bottom seam before loading and the top seam once full. That is two strips per box before the box is even stacked.

Getting the most out of Heavy Duty Packing Tape (6 Rolls)
Six rolls of heavy duty tape is a practical quantity for a single room or a short move. Tape is the item people run out of first, because every box needs two seams secured.
Why heavy duty matters
Standard tape splits under the weight of a packed box. Heavy duty tape holds the bottom seam closed, which is the seam that fails when a box is dropped.
Sizing the quantity
Six rolls covers a single room comfortably. Most whole-home moves need several packs, so it is worth buying more than you think you need.

Packing Questions
How much tape does one box need?
Two strips at minimum, one along the bottom seam and one along the top. Reinforcing the corners on heavier boxes takes more.
Is heavy duty tape necessary?
For anything with weight in it, yes. Standard tape peels and splits, and a failed bottom seam is how boxes get dropped.
How many rolls for a whole house?
Most households use several packs across a full move. Buying six rolls per room is a reasonable planning figure.
