CUSTOM PRINTED TAPE AND LABELS

Category:

Custom printed tape or labels are a great way to advertise your company or brand and identify goods. We can print tape in up to 5 colours(Not included the tape colour) in 2 different material types.

If you’re looking for custom wording on your tape but not a logo, we may already have a block available you can use to avoid a setup fee. Printing plates for things like FIS, WARNING, HEAVY, DO NOT BEND, TOP LOAD ONLY and hundreds more already exist. You can then choose your own tape type and colour.

PP TAPE
The PP tape is general purpose tape, its good for going onto plastic or adding a logo to a carton that already sealed. We don’t recommend the PP for long-term applications on cardboard.

Customers looking for a different background colour should consider white and then printing the background . This is also advised for customer wanting a black background and white text. There would still be a small white boarder on the edge of the tape in this scenario. Using this method almost any colour is achievable.

PVC TAPE
The PVC tape is a premium tape, it can be used on a wide range of surfaced and sticks well to cardboard and recycled cardboard. RIP A labels will use the PVC material but they will be limited in a clear coat which makes the colours look more rich and glossy.
