One of the major issues faced by e-commerce brands is the secure sealing of their boxes. Boxes may have secure closures, but no one wants to take risks. The use of custom packing tape reduces the risk associated with accidental box opening during shipping. This tape helps several shipping businesses in the US securely pack the box and send it directly to customers. It uses durable adhesives for handling and transportation. With custom printing on tape, you can get:

  • Logo
  • Brand colors
  • Website
  • Instructions
  • Handling messages

With personalized packing tape in USA, brands can turn packaging into a secure and recognizable brand touch. Custom tape provides box sealing and brand communication. It prevents the opening of boxes during warehouse handling and parcel transportation. In addition to this, strong adhesion reduces the risk of loose flaps and damaged shipments. You can create more standardized packaging operations across warehouse and retail locations. Some of the amazing characteristics of the tapes are as follows:

Material Options for Custom Tape

Custom printed packaging tape in bulk must be manufactured with compatible materials that are required by your brand. If you need a tape that is sustainable and can be recycled, then kraft is the best option. For a durable and moisture-resistant option, PVC tapes are perfect, and so on.

BOPP Tape

Biaxially oriented polypropylene provides a strong and lightweight backing that is perfect for carton sealing. BOPP tape supports printed graphics and works with different adhesives. Customized packing tape wholesale manufacturing with BOPP materials is widely used in e-commerce and general shipping applications to provide durable performance.

Kraft Paper Tape

Corrugated cartons and paper-focused packaging can be taped with custom kraft packaging tape. Some kraft tapes use pressure-sensitive adhesives while others have water-activated adhesive systems. The selection of adhesive depends on the box surface and application process, along with required strength.

PVC Tape

These tapes use polyvinyl chloride as their backing material. The flexibility and smooth application of PVC tape are perfect for certain large-to-custom packing tape for small businesses. Your business must consider sustainability and recycling practices before choosing PVC for outline shipping box applications.

Water-Activated Paper Tape

In this tape, paper backing with water-activated adhesive is used. Water-activated paper tape bonds with corrugated material and creates a strong carton seal. It is an eco paper tape that has several printed versions with brand logos and graphics. Brands that want paper-backed tape and a secure seal can go with this.

Reinforced Paper Tape

Custom packing tape for shipping boxes also comes with reinforced fibers within the paper backing. These fibers enhance the strength and resistance to tearing of the tape. You can use them for heavier cartons and demanding shipping conditions. When standard paper tape does not provide the required strength, reinforced tape is the best option.

At our company, we manufacture multiple types of tapes that can be used for various purposes. Some of the common types are:

Printing Process On Packing Tape

The manufacturing of custom packaging tape with a logo starts with the selection of materials and the adhesive type. The following things are kept in mind before printing:

  • Tape width
  • Roll length
  • Backing material
  • Adhesive
  • Printing colors
  • Artwork
  • Application requirements

You can give us your design specifications so that our printing team can prepare the tape based on the printable area and repeat designs. We follow the below-mentioned processes to prepare custom printed packing tape.

  • Artwork preparation
  • Material selection
  • Adhesive selection
  • Plate preparation
  • Ink application
  • Drying or curing
  • Slitting
  • Rewinding
  • Quality inspection
  • Packaging

With the use of multiple types of inks and printing processes, our company ensures that you get one of the finest quality tapes with the exact look you aspire to. Some of them, with their respective uses, are as follows:

  • Flexographic printing is an efficient method for repeated artwork across different media in large quantities
  • Rotogravure printing uses engraved cylinders to give detailed and large product runs
  • To transfer artwork directly to the support material and for short runs, we prefer digital painting
  • You can select a minimalist branding solution with the selection of single inks in our one-color printing method
  • Two-color printing gives higher contrast and keeps the artwork relatively simple compared to full-color printing
  • Multi-color printing is useful when several colors are required for tail illustration and graphics on the tape
  • We also have the option of white ink printing that enhances the visibility of clear and dark substrates
  • To maintain critical brand consistency, you can select Pantone colors
  • For high-end tapes, we offer the option of reverse printing. This places the artwork beneath the clear film and protects it from abrasion.
  • Pattern printing reproduces logos at regular intervals across the various sizes of tapes

Coatings For Elegant Look 

Wholesale packing tape is coated with different coatings that give a glossy or subdued look to the tape. The selection of coating is done based on the final look our customer prefers. We use matte color coatings that reduce surface gloss and create a minimalist look for the tape. At the time of coating selection, we have to consider:

  • Ink system
  • Backing
  • Adhesive
  • Intended application

Matte Coating

To reduce the surface gloss and give a subdued look to the tape, use matte coating. It creates a professional look and is perfect for e-commerce brands, as it reduces reflection under warehouse lighting.

Gloss Coating

To create a reflective surface and make the graphics bright and noticeable, we have the option of gloss coating. This is a great option when brands need color logos and high-visibility graphics. Gloss finishes provide surface protection. The overall look of the tape depends on the type of material brands have selected for their packaging tapes.

Acrylic Coating

Brands that need reliable aging performance and resistance to certain environmental conditions can select acrylic adhesive coatings. These variations are considered for applications that need stable adhesion over time. Acrylic coating formulations are created for different surface and temperature conditions. The exact functionality of the tapes depends on the adhesive formulation and the applicable process, along with the storage environment.

Aside from coating, we have three different adhesive options for the tapes. These adhesive types can be selected based on the type of paper tape one is selecting:

Hot-Melt Adhesive Coating

This adhesive system is applied in a molten state to give a strong initial tack. Hot-melt adhesive coating is used for carton sealing and when quick adhesion matters. This coating system works in fast-paced packaging operations. Brands can let us know the extent of temperature performance they need, and our company will ensure the provision of the same.

Natural Rubber Adhesive

For string tack and reliable adhesion, we use natural rubber adhesives. This is useful when immediate grip is necessary during box sealing. The formulation and environmental exposure change the performance of the tapes, so businesses can test their box seal before committing to high-volume production.

Water-Based Adhesive

In these adhesives, water is used as a primary component of the adhesive formulation. Water-based adhesives are used in eco packaging tapes and are useful for boxes that will be exposed to moisture.

In what format can I submit my artwork?

You can submit the artwork in a high-resolution vector format. PDF and AI files work well. You can also provide EPS format as it scales without losing sharpness. In order to prevent font errors, ensure that the text is converted to outlines.

What is the standard width of packaging tape?

Two inches and three inches are the most common widths used in packaging tape. For shipping boxes, two-inch tape is used, while three-inch tape is used for extra grip.

Do I need a special dispenser for custom tapes?

No! Standard tapes fit perfectly for traditional hand-held tape guns. However, water-activated tapes need a specialized manual or electric moisturizing dispenser. The selection of the correct dispenser reduces material waste and ensures fast application.

Can I write on top of custom packing tape?

You can write on paper-based kraft tape easily using standard pens or markers. Plastic tapes like polypropylene are glossy and cause most standard inks to smudge. If you must write on plastic tape, use a heavy-duty permanent marker.

How thick should my custom tape be?

Standard custom shipping tape usually ranges from 1.9 to 3.0 mils in thickness. Lighter packages do perfectly fine with a standard 1.9 or 2.1 mil tape. For heavy-duty shipments, you need 2.5 to 3.0 mil thickness to prevent tearing.

Artwork Preparation Guide

Preparing artwork for various purposes, whether it's for print, digital media, or other applications, requires attention to detail and adherence to specific guidelines. Here is a general artwork preparation guide that you can follow:

Cutting Line (Red Lines):

Indicates the cut at its final size.Important artwork and text should be placed at least 0.125 inches inside of the cutting line.

Bleed Area (Blue Lines)

Indicates where the bleed line is located. Any artwork which goes to the cutting line should be extended to the bleed line to get a seamless print.

Safe Area (Green Lines):

Indicates where artwork and text should safely be placed inside. As a industry standard, all artwork should at least be placed 0.125 inches away from the cutting lines unless your design in intentional.

Perforation Lines (Red Lines)

Perforation line refers to paper that is punched with very small holes to allow the paper to be torn and folded easily.

Creasing Line (Black Lines)

Indicated where the product is to be folded.
