The Box of Adhesive Tape is a sealed retail box holding twelve rolls of Adhesive Tape. It is a bulk pack meant for storage and trade rather than direct use.
The box exists to be opened. Unpack Box turns it into twelve Adhesive Tape rolls, and a double click on the box runs the same unpacking. The loose rolls then go into the repair and crafting recipes that call for tape.
The box is found in offices, post offices and art stores. Pack Items in Box can also make one from twelve loose rolls. That keeps a stockpile tidy and easier to carry. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Unpack Box is the only step the box itself takes part in. It needs no tools, no skill and no station. The twelve rolls it gives are ordinary Adhesive Tape, ready for any recipe that wants tape.
Packing works the other way. Pack Items in Box takes twelve Adhesive Tape and returns one box. A box is one item in place of twelve, which keeps a base storage shelf in order.
The box is a close match for the Box of Duct Tape. Both hold twelve rolls and open the same way. The adhesive box is the lighter of the two, at 3 weight against 5 for the duct tape box.

The box is a rare find. Post offices give the best odds on counters and desks, though even there it is only about three in a thousand containers. Metal shelves in medical offices, offices, office storage and police offices come next. Art stores and general stores hold one very rarely.
