Choosing The Right Tape Option for Shipping and Branding

Custom printed tape from Phoenix Tape & Supply come in a number of different varieties that work in a wide range of industries. And while some businesses may know what kind of tape works best for them, not everyone is sure of the right option. Between polypropylene, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and reinforced paper tape, there are better or worse choices depending on what you are shipping, the kind of packages you are sealing, and more. Your custom printed tape needs to not only get your packages ready for shipping but will be branded with your logo and name as well, and using a tape that adheres well and keeps packages sealed will be noticed by your clients.

Does Your Business Do a Lot of Packaging

Many times, larger shippers have a more automated process for sealing their shipments. In these cases, the machines that are sealing packages can accommodate much larger rolls compared to the handheld tape guns. Polypropylene tape is your answer as we can create custom packing tape rolls that have a thousand yards of tape on them. This tape works very well with cardboard containers and comes in three different thicknesses to work with lighter boxes up to heavy boxes exceeding 50 pounds.

While cardboard is a common packaging material, there are other times when materials like fiberboard, plastic, and even metal are used. The best option for these alternate shipping materials is PVC tape. This tape comes in two thicknesses for lighter and heavier containers, and the natural rubber adhesive is what gives the tape its versatility in sealing up different materials.

Don’t Forget About the Paper Tape

As more and more businesses move to eco-friendly packaging options, our reinforced paper tape is an ideal solution for these cases. The tape itself can be recycled along with the cardboard that it sealed, except for the reinforcing fiberglass threads used to strengthen the tape. The nice part about these paper tapes is that they won’t stick to anything until the glue is moistened with water when you are ready to use it.
