You can expect delivery of your printed tape within 7-10 days of order confirmation. Please check with us first as lead times may vary, especially during busier times.

The maximum repeat length for any printed tape design is 502mm.

We’ll work with you any way we can, but preferably, and for the best quality, we ask that artwork is supplied in a Vector Graphic AI/Eps file or a high resolution PDF (1MB or above).

We find that printing to Pantones gives us the best final finish. We’re happy to work with you and convert the CMYK, HEX or RAL to the closest Pantone.

Polypropylene is a popular material for printed tape. It’s durable, easy to use and printable up to three colours. Ultimately, a low price is polypropylene’s key feature. As a result, it’s a popular choice for high volume users.

  • Low cost
  • Easy to use
  • Printable up to three colours
  • Premium 28 micron material
  • Also available with a low-temperature adhesive (optional)
  • Recycling process friendly

Standard polypropylene tape is not recyclable. However, it is recycling-process friendly, meaning modern recycling facilities can generally separate small amounts of these materials during the paper recycling process. As a result,  polypropylene does not typically prevent corrugated cardboard packaging from being recycled.

If you’re looking for a fully recyclable custom packaging tape, gummed paper tape — also known as water-activated paper tape — is the ideal choice. Made from paper and designed to be recycled along with cardboard packaging, it offers a more sustainable alternative to conventional packaging tapes.

Yes. Printed polypropylene tape can be noisy when unwound from the roll. If low noise is an important feature, try our custom printed vinyl packing tape, or custom printed paper tape.

Yes. Polypropylene is a great choice for packaging. It’s strong, economical and adheres well to a wide variety of surfaces, making it a practical option for sealing boxes and parcels.
