Packaging Tape is custom-printed adhesive tape that seals cartons and turns plain shipping boxes into a branded touchpoint for shippers, fulfillment teams, and online stores. It runs on standard tape guns and carries your full-color logo or message along the roll.
Printed tape secures flaps and seams while putting your name on every box that leaves the warehouse, so each shipment doubles as low-cost brand exposure. Warehouses and subscription brands use it to seal mailers, reinforce heavy cartons, and signal an opened-or-secureed seam at a glance.
Materials & Specifications

Printing & Finishing
Choose a matte film for a soft, low-glare look, a gloss film for punchier color, or clear film so printed copy reads against the box beneath it.

Tape Substrate and Print Repeat for Bulk Buyers
Carton sealing tape comes down to substrate and repeat length. BOPP film is the low cost workhorse and takes bright print. Water activated kraft tape bonds into the corrugated fiber and cannot be lifted quietly, which suits high value shipments. The print repeat should divide neatly into your most common carton length so the logo lands on the seam every time.
| Rolls per order | Substrate and repeat guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Small run to confirm the repeat against your cartons. |
| 500 | One substrate, one repeat, single ink pass. |
| 1,000 | Two widths produced from one plate set. |
| 5,000 | Three color print stops being a premium option. |
| 10,000+ | Fulfillment center supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Turnaround planning: in-house eligible tape printing tends to need about 7 business days, and specialty imported adhesive or substrate can take about 12 weeks. Give purchasing the wider spread. Free US shipping applies to printed tape orders across the continental states.
Specify roll width, length, substrate, adhesive type, number of ink colors and annual roll usage.
