Packaging Tape

Custom Tape

There’s nothing better than getting a package, even finding a little failed delivery slip through the letterbox puts a spring in your step! With custom-printed packing tape, your brand will be the first thing your customers see when they receive their parcel.

• Our PVC/Vinyl branded packing tape comes 48mm x 66 metres in length.

• A more sustainable option would be our paper-based tape, which comes in two widths - either 48mm x 50 metres or 36mm x 50 metres. It looks a little like masking tape, but it’s got a permanent, strong adhesive to keep things secure.

• The paper-based option comes in light brown or white.

• The PVC and Vinyl options are available in transparent, white or clear.

• You can print up to 3 spot colours on the single-sided print option.

• All options come in boxes of 36 rolls of custom-printed tape.

• Simply upload your design and refer to this article, How To Supply Your Artwork for packaging tape, for help with Pantone colours, line weights and fonts. 

Choosing the right tape and adhesive:

Hot Melt Polypropylene Tape - Ideal for general use and cost-effective. This tape has a hot melt adhesive which sticks when pressure is applied. Perfect for use in packaging, bundling and sealing cardboard cartons or boxes. It's also suitable for use in standard tape guns.

Vinyl Tape - A very high-quality tape and the best choice if your design has multiple colours that need to be closely registered. We recommend using a standard tape dispenser as the tape is durable and more difficult to tear by hand.

Important Application & Storage Guidelines

To ensure the best performance of this pressure-sensitive (PS) packaging tape, please follow the guidelines below:

• Optimal Temperature for Use: For ideal adhesion and bonding, the tape should be stored and applied at 17°C or above. If the tape becomes too cold, for example, overnight in an unheated area, its adhesive performance may be compromised. Allow the tape to return to room temperature before use for best results.

• Even Firm Pressure Required: As a pressure-sensitive product, this tape requires firm, even pressure to activate the adhesive and ensure a strong bond. We strongly recommend using a pistol grip dispenser to apply consistent pressure across the entire length of tape.

Following these steps will help you get the most reliable, professional-grade seal every time.

Please note that when printed, there will be a gap between printed impressions on the tape and we do not print edge to edge, so a 2.7mm gap will be between the edge of the tape and the printed impression.
