Advice please on packing tapes

Hi

Bit of a random question, but am hoping someone here will know!

I've just started my own business - making sweets from home. My USP is that all ingredients are ethically sourced or organic and all packaging used is recyclable/Eco-friendly. I'm going to be selling online and posting so I want to use a Kraft paper tape to seal the boxes. All the ones I've come across seem to have a latex based adhesive and I was wondering if this would be a trigger for latex-allergy sufferers? If so, does anyone happen to know of an Eco-friendly sealing tape that doesn't contain latex? Like I said, random, but hopefully someone will know!

TIA Smile

Apparently, yes this could be an issue for people with Latex Allergies according to the site linked below, which also has a list of alternative products that would be a more suitable alternative:
