Seal Every Shipment With Your Brand
Reinforced gummed packing tape turns a basic shipping necessity into a branding tool. Unlike standard pressure-sensitive tape, gummed tape activates with water and bonds directly to corrugated cardboard, creating a tamper-evident seal that cannot be peeled off and reapplied. Adding your logo, colors, or messaging to this tape means every package that leaves your facility carries your identity from warehouse to doorstep.
Teal Packaging produces this tape with full-color CMYK printing, so your artwork reproduces with sharp detail across the entire roll. Whether you need a repeating logo pattern, a bold brand statement, or regulatory messaging, the print quality stays consistent from the first pull to the last.
Customization That Fits Your Operation
Every roll is built to your specifications. Choose your tape width, typically 70mm or 72mm for standard carton sealing, and select the length per roll based on your packing volume. The reinforced fiberglass threading runs through the tape in a cross-pattern, giving it exceptional tear resistance and holding power on heavy boxes.
Print options include single-color brand marks for a clean look or full-color designs that match your packaging aesthetic. You can run your logo alongside handling instructions like "Fragile" or "This Side Up" to combine branding with practical messaging. Finishing choices such as matte lamination add a subtle texture and protect the printed surface during transit.
- Custom widths and roll lengths to match your packing stations
- Full-color or single-color printing with repeating patterns
- Fiberglass reinforcement for heavy-duty sealing
- Matte or gloss lamination to protect printed artwork
Strong Materials, Sustainable Choice
Gummed tape is made from kraft paper with a starch-based adhesive that activates when moistened. This means it contains no petroleum-based adhesives, making it available with recyclable options by specification along with the cardboard box it seals. The fiberglass reinforcement adds tensile strength without compromising recyclability at most facilities.
For brands that prioritize sustainability, this is one of the most practical swaps you can make. Your customers can toss the entire sealed box into recycling without peeling tape off first. Pair it with recycled kraft boxes and tissue paper, and your entire unboxing experience stays aligned with eco-conscious values.
Who Uses Reinforced Gummed Tape
Ecommerce sellers shipping heavy items like ceramics, glassware, or electronics rely on reinforced tape because it grips corrugated surfaces better than plastic alternatives. Subscription box companies use branded rolls to create a cohesive unboxing moment that starts before the box is even opened. Food distributors and meal kit services choose gummed tape for its clean seal and paper composition, avoiding plastic contact near consumables.
Fulfillment centers processing high volumes appreciate the security factor. Once applied and dried, the bond is permanent. Any tampering attempt tears the tape and the box surface together, making it immediately visible. Retailers shipping from store locations use shorter rolls with branded prints to maintain a professional appearance without needing custom boxes for every order.
