CUSTOM PAPER TAPE

Custom paper tape gives businesses a strong way to seal corrugated boxes while placing their name, logo, or message directly on every shipment. Phoenix Tape & Supply offers custom printed paper tape in white or tan kraft, with reinforced fibers that add strength and a water activated adhesive that bonds to the carton surface.

Once moistened and applied, the adhesive forms a firm bond with corrugated boxes. This makes custom kraft paper tape a practical choice for e commerce orders, manufacturing shipments, food and beverage packaging, retail fulfillment, and other operations that want security and clear branding in one step.

Choose between 240 grade reinforced tape for lighter packages and 260 grade heavy duty reinforced tape for heavier packages. Both options can be printed with up to three ink colors, allowing your packaging to carry a logo, website, handling message, or other useful information.

240 grade CUSTOM REINFORCED PAPER TAPE

Appropriate for sealing boxes up to 30 lbs.

Available in Tan/Kraft or White.

Custom paper tape is a good fit for everyday e commerce shipments, boxed retail products, subscription orders, and other packages that need a clean branded seal without the added material of a heavier grade.

260 grade CUSTOM HEAVY DUTY REINFORCED PAPER TAPE

Appropriate for sealing boxes over 30 lbs.

Available in Tan/Kraft or White.

Manufacturers and distributors often select this grade for heavier products, glassware, equipment, parts, and other goods that place more stress on the carton closure.

Please note: Both grades use water activated adhesive and require a compatible paper tape dispenser to moisten and cut the tape before it is applied to the box.

How to Choose the Right Custom Paper Tape

The right custom paper tape depends on more than the look of the print. Box weight, carton condition, packing volume, and the way the package travels all affect which option makes the most sense. Use the questions below as a starting point.

How Heavy Is the Packed Box?

For boxes weighing up to 30 pounds, 240 grade reinforced paper tape is usually the right starting point. For packages over 30 pounds, choose 260 grade heavy duty tape for added strength. If your cartons are unusually large, overfilled, or exposed to heavy handling, contact our team before ordering so we can review the application.

What Condition Are Your Cartons In?

Water activated paper tape bonds well to corrugated cardboard, including recycled cartons and surfaces with light dust. Because the adhesive bonds to the box rather than resting only on the surface, the finished seal is difficult to remove without visible carton damage.

What Should the Tape Communicate?

Custom printed kraft tape can carry more than a logo. Businesses also print website addresses, contact information, handling instructions, product categories, or short customer messages. Keep the design clear and readable so the information can be recognized while the box is moving through shipping and receiving.
