Materials and Tape Substrates
Not all masking tape is the same. The right tape construction depends on your intended use, the surface you are applying it to, and how long it needs to hold. Teal Packaging works with manufacturing partners to produce custom tape on the following substrates.
- Washi (Japanese paper) tape: A lightweight, semi-transparent tape made from natural fibers. Repositionable and tear-by-hand with a low-tack adhesive. Ideal for gift wrapping, journaling kits, craft subscription boxes, and decorative retail applications.
- Kraft paper tape (60-90 gsm): A heavier-duty paper tape with stronger adhesive. Available in water-activated or pressure-sensitive versions. Well-suited for sealing cardboard parcels and providing a branded finishing touch on e-commerce shipments.
- Crepe paper tape (standard masking): The traditional masking tape substrate. Flexible, conformable, and easy to tear. Used in painting, light assembly, and general temporary adhesion applications.
- Printed BOPP polypropylene tape: A synthetic tape with strong adhesion and weather resistance. Preferred for heavier-duty sealing of corrugated boxes and transit packaging requiring durability.
All tape products are printed using flexographic or digital printing depending on the substrate type. Print coverage, number of colors, and roll dimensions affect the final price per roll.
Customization Options for Custom Masking Tape
Custom masking tape is a blank canvas for brand expression. Teal Packaging offers the following customization options across our tape range.
- Full-color printing: Print your logo, brand pattern, repeating design, or custom artwork in up to full CMYK color depending on the tape substrate.
- Single-color and spot-color printing: Cost-effective options for simple logo or text designs on kraft or crepe tape.
- Custom roll widths: Standard widths from 0.5 in to 2 in available. Wider formats up to 3 in available on request.

Sustainable Custom Tape Options

Teal Packaging sources FSC-certified paper tape substrates through our manufacturing partners, ensuring fiber traceability from responsible forest management sources. We print with soy-based inks where substrate compatibility allows, reducing the environmental impact of the printing process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Masking Tape
What is the minimum order quantity for your packaging?
Our minimum order quantity is 50 rolls per design. This allows small businesses, independent brands, and crafters to access custom printed tape without ordering quantities far beyond their needs. Larger orders benefit from reduced per-unit pricing.
What is the difference between washi tape and kraft tape?
Washi tape is made from Japanese plant fibers, is semi-transparent, repositionable, and typically used for decorative and light-adhesion applications like gift wrapping and journaling. Kraft tape is a heavier-duty paper tape with a stronger adhesive, designed for sealing boxes and packages. Both are available in custom printed formats from Teal Packaging.
Can I print a repeating pattern across the full roll?
Yes.
Our printing process supports repeating pattern designs that tile seamlessly across the full length of the tape roll. This is popular for branded tape where consistent visual coverage across the full roll length is important. Provide your pattern artwork and our design team will configure the repeat layout.
Is personalized masking tape suitable for sealing shipping boxes?
It depends on the tape type. Washi tape and standard crepe masking tape are not suitable for sealing shipping parcels as they are low-tack and not designed for strong adhesion to corrugated board. For branded shipping tape, our kraft paper tape or BOPP polypropylene tape options are recommended. These provide the adhesion strength needed for secure parcel sealing.
How long does it take to produce these boxes?
Standard lead time is approximately two weeks from artwork approval to dispatch. free shipping included on every order is included. For time-sensitive orders, contact our team early to confirm available timelines for your required quantity and tape format.
