Custom Stickers and Branded Packaging Tape
Stickers and packaging tape are the most cost-effective branding tools in your packaging arsenal. A branded sticker sealing a mailer box or a custom tape strip across a shipping carton turns plain packaging into a branded experience for pennies per unit. Teal Packaging produces custom stickers and packaging tape that match your brand perfectly.
Custom Stickers
- Die-Cut Stickers: Cut to any shape (your logo, a product silhouette, or geometric designs). Applied to boxes, bags, envelopes, and products.
- Roll Stickers: Continuous rolls for high-speed application. Available on 1" or 3" cores for dispensers and labeling machines.
- Sheet Stickers: Multiple stickers per sheet. Ideal for including extras in orders (brand stickers, laptop stickers for customers).
- Clear Stickers: Transparent vinyl or BOPP for a "no label" look on products and packaging.
- Foil Stickers: Metallic gold, silver, or holographic for premium branding and tamper-evident seals.
- Seal Stickers: Circle or custom-shaped stickers specifically for sealing mailer boxes, tissue paper, and envelopes.
Custom Packaging Tape
Branded packaging tape replaces generic brown or clear tape on your shipping boxes. Every package your customer receives is branded before they even open it. Options include printed packing tape (kraft paper or polypropylene), water-activated tape (reinforced kraft, the most secure and eco-friendly), custom printed gummed tape, and tamper-evident security tape. Pair with our corrugated shipping boxes for complete branded shipping.
Materials and Durability
Sticker materials include vinyl (waterproof, durable, indoor/outdoor), BOPP (flexible, tear-resistant, standard product labels), paper (eco-friendly, recyclable, kraft or white), and holographic (tamper-evident, premium). All stickers are printed with UV-resistant inks that resist fading, water, and handling.
