Custom Packaging Tape

There are lots of different types of packaging tape available and knowing which to choose if you’ve just started a business that ships products can be confusing. There is custom packaging tape, vinyl tape, double sided tape, coloured tape, cloth tape, masking tape, filament tape, tamper evident tape, gummed paper tape, hazard warning tape, barrier tape and floor marking tape.

Custom printed packaging tape can be printed with your logo and message to build brand awareness and give information or instructions. Custom packaging tape can be printed on a white background tape or a coloured background.

Vinyl tape is very strong, tear resistant and waterproof. It offers superior performance for sealing cardboard boxes and other packaging. Vinyl packing tape comes in 75mm and 50mm widths and is resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations.

Coloured tape is ideal for sealing your cardboard boxes and colour coding them all in one go. This saves time and money not having to put separate labels on the boxes.

Cloth tape is waterproof with a strong and reliable performance. Due to it’s industrial grade it is ideal for duct work, general repair, reinforcement and export packaging. It is widely available in black or silver at 50mm width.

Double sided tape is made from polypropylene with adhesive on both sides of the tape and a silicon release paper. With widths of 25mm or 50mm the tape can hold very heavy weights.

Masking tape is made of creped paper and is largely used in the automotive body building and repair trade, building and construction and many other industries. It is easy to tear and removes cleanly from the surface of the product it is used on.

Filament tape is used for packing heavy consignments. It is cross woven with glass filaments to provide high tensile strength. Suitable for heavyweight strapping applications, export packing and bundling.

Tamper evident tape gives you some protection from people tampering with your packages. The polypropylene security tape is designed to reduce pilferage and unauthorized opening of packages.

Gummed paper tape provides a secure, tamper evident seal. It forms a complete fibre bond with the sealed carton and is unaffected by extreme temperatures of -50 to 100 centigrade. It is ideal for export and deep freeze.

Hazard warning tape can guard your workforce against accidents. It is suitable for use both indoors and out. Red and white tape is used for fire hazards, extinguisher locations etc. Green and white tape is used for safety equipment and emergency exits etc and black and yellow tape for hazardous areas and obstacles.

Barrier hazard tape is used extensively by local authorities, road maintenance contractors and police etc. for restricting access to excavations, accident sites or work areas temporarily out of bounds.

Floor marking tape is made of strong plasticised pvc and is used for lane identification and floor marking in sports halls etc.
