Pre Printed Kraft Tape is a self-adhesive paper packing tape, custom-printed with your logo or message, for brands that want every sealed box to carry their name. It runs on natural kraft paper stock with a strong adhesive, so the print is part of the seal rather than a separate label.
A branded seal turns a plain shipping box into a touchpoint, which helps unboxing feel intentional and makes returns easy to spot on a shelf. Subscription boxes and online stores use printed kraft tape to close cartons fast on a packing line while keeping a consistent look across every order.

Kraft Tape by the Case: Quantity Planning
Printed kraft tape comes in two families: water activated tape with a starch adhesive that bonds into the carton fiber, and pressure sensitive rolls that apply straight off a standard dispenser. Repeat length of the logo determines how the print cylinder is cut.
| Rolls | Tape run guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | A starter case that brands every parcel a small shop sends. |
| 500 | One cylinder covers the run, so the print charge spreads thin. |
| 1,000 | Two color printing joins the conversation at reasonable money. |
| 5,000 | Custom roll lengths tuned to your dispenser reduce changeovers. |
| 10,000+ | Fulfillment center volume, quoted from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Planning windows, not promises: in-house eligible tape prints in something like 7 business days, and specialty imported stock plans out toward 12 weeks. Your repeat pattern is proofed digitally at no charge before the cylinder runs. Ask for pricing with roll width, length, adhesive type, and color count.
