Custom Printed 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 gift.

Our PVC/Vinyl branded packing tape comes 48mm in width and 66metres in length, or you can select a more eco-friendly printed packing tape with our paper-based option which comes in two widths - either 48mm x 50metres or 36mm x 50metres. It looks a little like masking tape, but it’s got a permanent strong adhesive to keep your gifts secure!

The paper-based option comes in light brown or white, and the PVC and Vinyl options are available in Transparent, White or Clear with up to 3 spot colours on single-sided print. All options come in boxes of 36 rolls of custom printed tape, simply upload your design and choose your colours from the PANTONE® Coated colours to ensure your design prints as you expected.

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.

  • Available in clear, brown and white
  • Print up to 3 colours single sided,
  • Roll size: 48mm x 66m

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.

  • Available in clear, brown and white
  • Print up to 3 colours single sided,
  • Roll size: 48mm x 66m

High Tack Acryllic - A pressure sensitive adhesive which requires pressing down firmly to ensure a good bond, perfect for long term adhesion, for example, if boxes are going to be stored un-opened for long periods of time.

  • Available in clear, brown and white
  • Print up to 3 colours single sided,
  • Roll size: 48mm x 66m

Polypropylene Solvent Tape - A high quality tape that's best used if you require adhesion for long periods of time. Solvent tape performs well in cold environments.

  • Available in clear, brown and white
  • Print up to 3 colours single sided,
  • Roll size: 48mm x 66m

Kraft Paper - The most environmentally considerate tape option. If applied to a cardboard box, it can be recycled. 

  • Available in brown and white
  • Print up to 3 colours single sided,
  • Roll sizes: 36mm x 50m, 48mm x 50m

For optimum performance, the tapes should be stored in temperatures between 15°c to 25°c, in a cool, clean environment.
