Pallet Tape Rolling Method

When you pull pallet tape off one strip at a time, it loves to tear, fight back, and wreck your fingertips. 


A faster method is to peel the first strip from the top, roll it into a tight tube, then start the next strip from the same spot and keep rolling it into that bundle. 


Each new strip adds mass and tension, which makes the tape come off smoother instead of snapping halfway down the pallet. Your hands do less pinching and scraping because you are pulling a solid roll, not a flimsy edge. 


By the end, you have one compact “log” of tape instead of a pile of shredded pieces stuck to everything. It is the same principle used when removing vinyl, steady tension beats sharp yanks every time.
