Custom Printed Packaging Tape
Your packaging says something about your brand before your customer ever opens the box. Custom printed water-activated packaging tape transforms ordinary cartons into branded experiences while creating a strong, secure seal built for shipping.
Creative PossibilitiesYour Packaging Has More Room to Tell Your Story
Every shipment is an opportunity to reinforce your brand. Custom printed packaging tape turns unused space on your cartons into a communication tool that customers see before they experience what's inside.
Whether you want a simple logo pattern, bold brand colors, promotional messaging, or a completely custom design, printed packaging tape helps create a consistent experience from your warehouse to your customer's doorstep.
SecurityProtection That Goes Beyond the Surface
Great packaging does two jobs: it represents your brand and protects what's inside.
Water-activated packaging tape provides a strong carton seal, while reinforced options add additional strength and visible security features that help keep shipments protected throughout the delivery process.
Heavy Lifting
Stands up to weather, weight, and being tossed around a delivery truck. Aggressively bonds to corrugated cartons, even with dust and dirt, to support up to 35lbs.
Reinforced
Three-way fiberglass strands, bonded between natural kraft paper, gives this tape unparalleled durability – easily supporting the most challenging shipments.
Tamper Evident
Starch-based adhesive bonds to corrugated cartons, and is irreplaceable and tamper-evident. Your packages can’t be opened without leaving evidence behind.
Make Every Package Recognizable
Turn plain shipping cartons into branded packaging with logos, patterns, colors, and messaging that represent your company.
Print Promotions Right on the Package
Highlight new products, seasonal campaigns, website addresses, social messaging, or special offers without adding extra packaging materials.
Create a Better Unboxing Experience
The customer experience begins before the box is opened. Custom printed tape adds a professional finishing touch that makes every shipment feel intentional.
Strong Seals That Protect Products
Water-activated packaging tape bonds directly to corrugated cartons, providing a dependable seal designed to handle shipping, storage, and delivery.
