Printed Tape

Printed tape is very popular for adding warnings or advertising when sealing boxes or securing pallets. There are several different types of printed tape for different applications, below are the most popular ones.

Pre-printed Tape

Stock pre-printed tape for general applications, red warning text printed on white low noise packaging tape in a whole range of designs to cover almost any standard warning message. Seal your Postal Box or Despatch Carton and apply a warning message at the same time to save having to apply a label as a separate application. Our pre printed red text tape is a Premium Low Noise Packing Tape, the strong polyprop backing coupled with a sticky low noise release adhesive makes this one of the best stock printed tape ranges available.

Fragile Tape

Fragile tape is a printed warning tape with FRAGILE printed on it in red text. The white backing an red text make it clearly visible to handlers that the contents inside is fragile and should be handled with care. Fragile printed tape is important to use when packing delicate and breakable items as it gives a clear message that the contents may break if handled incorrectly.

Heavy Duty Printed Tape

Heavy duty printed tapes are strong reinforced tapes that have been printed with advertising or a warning notice. Strong printed tapes often use a high strength base tape with glass reinforcing to create a high performance printed tape suitable for demanding applications. Products in this range are: printed crossweave tape, printed polycloth tape (custom gaffa tape), or printed waterproof tape.

Printed Machine Tape

Machine tape rolls can also be printed so you can tape boxes with printed tape using a machine. Printed machine tape is rolled onto larger roll sizes between 990m and 1500m to fit onto a taping machine. Personalised machine tape can be custom printed with logos and text as well as with pre-printed warning messages such as Fragile, and This Way Up.

Custom Printed Tape

Custom printed tape is a great opportunity to get your brand name noticed while being much more affordable than getting your boxes custom printed with your logo. Printed tape looks really smart and makes a change from boring brown tape, show your customers you are a professional company by using a quality personalised packaging tape to display your logo and brand message.

Personalised Packaging Tape

Personalised packaging tape is packaging tape with your company logo and message printed on it. It's a great method of branding your parcels because it is low cost and low minimum order quantity, helping you to brand your boxes even if you are just starting out. We can print your own custom tape from just 1 box in our paper tape range, that just 36 rolls to get you started with your very own personalised tape.

Our range of personalised packing tape is available in two different quality levels, both of which can be printed in up to 3 colours, here's a quick run-down on the differences between our two printed tape products and which one you should choose:

• Vinyl Custom Printed Tape: Vinyl is a strong and durable packing tape with a long-lasting adhesive which will work for most if not all packaging applications. Because of the strong vinyl backing it can be used on heavy and awkward parcels and will give you the peace of mind that your boxes will arrive secure and safe.
• Low Noise Polyprop Custom Printed Tape: A general purpose packing tape that is more cost effective and is great for lighter and smaller parcels. The polyprop backing coupled with a water-based acrylic adhesive makes this packing tape more environmentally friendly so you can rest assured you are doing your bit for the environment.
• Recyclable Printed Paper Tape: An eco friendly printed paper tape that can be recycled along with the cardboard box. An excellent way to show your customers you care for their environment. Using a Hot Melt adhesive makes this paper tape a good all round general purpose packaging tape which can be used in place of plastic tape.

Printed Tape Tip: Add a message to your printed tape as well as your logo; say 'Thank you for your order' or put 'FRAGILE Handle with Care' in big letters to get more for your money. Adding messages like this also helps to interact with your customer and makes them feel special because it shows them that you care about their order.

Personalised Paper Tape

Personalised paper tape is our eco friendly tape option that can be printed with your logos and messages. Our printed paper tape is manufactured from paper and can be recycled along with the cardboard box, much kinder to the environment than plastic tape. Paper tape is available in white and brown with a classy matt finish, many people choose paper tape just because it looks better than plastic tape.
