Questions People Often Ask About Custom Packaging Tape

What is the minimum order for wholesale custom printed tape?

The minimum order for wholesale custom printed tape is 36 rolls for poly tape, 40 rolls (5 cases) for reinforced gum tape, and 180 rolls for PVC tape. Plates and shipping are free on your first order. These minimums are low compared with the several-hundred-roll minimums that some wholesale tape manufacturers set, so brands can start small and reorder as they grow.

How much does custom printed tape cost?

The price of custom printed tape depends on the tape type, width, roll length, number of print colors, and order quantity. Plus Packaging quotes each order from your exact specifications, with a free digital mockup, and waives plate charges on your first order. Our cost reduction service can compare tape types and roll lengths to lower your cost per box sealed.

Are printing plates free for custom printed tape?

A printing plate is required for every custom printed tape order, and Plus Packaging waives plate charges on your first order. A plate is the flexographic printing plate that carries your artwork onto the tape.

Which is best for custom packaging tape: poly, PVC, or reinforced gum tape?

Choose poly tape for everyday shipping, PVC tape for a quiet, durable seal on medium-weight boxes, and reinforced gum tape for a paper-based, water-activated seal. Match the tape to your package weight: Poly tape: 2 mil for packages under 30 lbs, 2.6 mil for under 50 lbs, 3.1 mil for over 50 lbs. White, tan, or clear. 1–3 print colors. PVC tape: 2.2 mil for packages under 40 lbs. White. Quiet unwind. 1–3 print colors. Reinforced gum tape: 240# reinforced kraft paper for packages under 40 lbs. Natural or white kraft. 1–2 print colors. Needs a water-activated dispenser.

How much weight can custom packaging tape hold?

Custom printed poly tape is rated by thickness: 2 mil for packages under 30 lbs, 2.6 mil for packages under 50 lbs, and 3.1 mil for packages over 50 lbs. PVC tape (2.2 mil) and reinforced gum tape (240# kraft) are each rated for packages under 40 lbs. These ratings refer to package weight, so carton strength and how many strips you apply also affect performance. Tell us your heaviest box and we will recommend a tape.

What sizes does custom printed tape come in?

Custom printed tape comes in widths from 1″ to 6″, and the most common widths for sealing cartons are 2″ and 3″. Available sizes by type: Poly tape: 1″ x 110 yd, 1.5″ x 110 yd, 2″ x 55 yd, 2″ x 110 yd, 3″ x 55 yd, 3″ x 110 yd, and 6″ x 1,000 yd. PVC tape: 2″ and 3″ wide, in 55 yd and 110 yd rolls. Reinforced gum tape: 3″ x 375′ (8 rolls per case) and 3″ x 450′ (10 rolls per case).

Is water-activated custom printed tape tamper-evident?

Water-activated custom printed tape is considered tamper-evident because its adhesive bonds into the carton’s paper fibers, so opening the box tears the tape or the box surface and shows the seal was broken. Plus Packaging’s reinforced gum tape is water-activated kraft paper with fiberglass reinforcement. Pressure-sensitive poly and PVC tapes can be peeled with less visible damage.

Do I need a dispenser for custom printed tape?

You need a water-activated dispenser for custom printed gum tape, but not for poly or PVC tape. Water-activated dispensers wet the adhesive, cut the tape to length, and range from manual to fully automatic models. Pressure-sensitive poly and PVC tape work with a standard handheld tape dispenser or tape gun.

Does custom printed tape work in hot or cold weather?

Yes. Custom printed poly tape works in temperatures from -60°F to 200°F, and custom printed PVC tape works from 0°F to 150°F. Reinforced gum tape sticks well to dusty or difficult surfaces. For the best bond, apply tape to clean, dry cartons. Tell us your shipping and storage conditions, such as freezer, hot warehouse, or humid climate, and we will recommend the right tape.

What artwork do I need for custom printed tape?

Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF) give the sharpest results for custom printed tape, and JPG or PNG files up to 20 MB are also accepted. Poly and PVC tape print in 1–3 colors, and gum tape prints in 1–2 colors, so design with a limited palette and include PMS color numbers for exact brand matches. Our design team can clean up artwork, and you approve a digital proof before printing. See our artwork requirements.

Can I print QR codes, barcodes, or handling instructions on custom packaging tape?

Yes. Custom packaging tape can carry QR codes, barcodes, handling instructions such as “Handle with Care”, website addresses, and seasonal designs, in addition to your logo. Businesses use QR codes and barcodes for tracking and inventory, or to send customers to offers. Solid, high-contrast one- or two-color codes scan best, so share the code size and scan distance with our design team.

Is custom packaging tape recyclable or eco-friendly?

Reinforced gum tape is the most eco-friendly custom packaging tape option because it is kraft paper with a vegetable-based adhesive, while poly and PVC tapes are plastic films. Paper tape is generally easier to recycle with corrugated cartons than plastic tape.Choose gum tape if sustainability matters, or poly or PVC tape for speed and cold or hot conditions.

Can I get a free sample or proof of custom printed tape before ordering?

Yes. Plus Packaging sends a digital proof of your custom printed tape showing your exact design for approval before printing, and you can request free samples. You can make changes until the proof is right.

How many boxes can one roll of custom packaging tape seal?

One 110-yard roll of custom packaging tape seals about 165 boxes with a single center strip, or about 66 boxes with an H-seal, based on an 18″ x 12″ carton. An 18-inch single seam uses about 2 feet of tape, and an H-seal (center seam plus both side seams) uses about 5 feet. A 110-yard roll is 330 feet. These are estimates, so measure your own carton and divide the roll length by the tape used per box.

How should custom packaging tape be stored?

Store custom packaging tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which preserves both adhesive strength and print quality. Keep rolls in their original packaging until use. Reinforced gum tape has a shelf life of up to five years when stored properly.
