Top Questions in No Particular Order

• What is the lead time for your custom packing tape? If you have a special event or date that you want to be able to use your custom packing tape for, you will need to be sure to have everything submitted on time, and that you are aware of how long your order will take.  We print and ship in 3 weeks.
• What will your custom tape look like? It might be a logo, a tagline that is associated with you, your contact information, or other items. Having a goal for your custom packing tape is the right approach.  We provide a digital proof showing you exactly what the tape will look like.
• What type of tape is best suited for your packing needs? There are different types of tape because they each offer different pros and cons that can affect how you apply them and how your packages stay sealed. If you know that a specific type of tape is your tape of choice, we will make sure that you get this same kind tape for your custom packing tape order.
• What colors and fonts align with your brand? Because your custom packing tape is a visual representation of your brand, you need to use the right colors and fonts like you do on any other marketing materials.  We can color match any PMS color.
• What size and width of tape do you need? For some organizations, two-inch-wide tape is perfect for their needs, while others may need the three-inch-wide tape. Be sure to know what size tape you need for your custom packing tape order.

Ordering Samples Is a Great First Step

When you haven’t ordered custom packing tape before, or you are looking to switch to a different supplier, it really helps to know what you are getting by ordering a sample of the tape style that you are looking for. We offer this ability for you to order a sample of our tapes so you can see the quality of the printing as well as the materials. From there we can help you get your order of custom packing tape going.
