Grades

Polypropylene custom packing tape is available in three grades, or thicknesses. Choose the best grade for your package weights, bearing in mind that the thicker the tape, the stronger the adhesive.

  1. Regular 1.9 mil: Even though 1.9 is the lowest grade we carry, it’s considered the middle range in our industry. Lower grades could compromise the ability to achieve a crisp and clean print. Go with this polypropylene grade when sealing boxes up to 30 lbs.

  2. Heavy-duty 2.5 mil: This heavy-duty grade provides more adhesive than 1.9, giving you more sealing power for packages up to 50 lbs.

  3. Extra heavy-duty 2.9 mil: The strongest grade of polypropylene tape grade features the concentration of adhesive as 2.5 mil heavy-duty options but provides an even thicker base for added strength and package security.

Benefits of polypropylene custom packaging tape

Poly custom shipping tape offers many benefits for companies looking to elevate their packaging because it:

Is economical

Polypropylene tape often costs less than other custom packing tapes, helping to keep your shipping costs down. In addition, polypropylene custom tape provides a cost-effective alternative to expensive printed boxes, allowing you to reap all the branding benefits for a fraction of the cost. 

Provides good adhesion

Polypropylene custom shipping tape adheres nicely to corrugated cardboard boxes, providing the peace of mind that it will stay put throughout your package’s shipping journey. To get the most benefit from polypropylene’s adhesion properties, be sure to select the right grade for your package weight.

Yields a high-quality print

With excellent printability, polypropylene allows you to achieve a clean and crisp print every time. It’s an especially wise choice for longer production runs because the printing press uses a photopolymer plate material that provides the rigidity required for a consistently detailed print, from the first roll to the last.

Fully customizable

With customization options ranging from thickness and roll length to multiple inks and tape colors, there are endless ways to make polypropylene custom packing tape your own. Whether you’re printing a one-color, two-color, or three-color design, polypropylene will make it pop.

Is polypropylene custom tape right for you?

Polypropylene is the ideal cost-effective custom printed tape for general use, providing a versatile solution that yields a crisp print with plenty of strength for most packaging applications. However, consider paper custom tape when you require anti-tampering and anti-pilfering properties or an eco-friendly solution. The reinforced fiberglass threads add durability, while the paper and adhesive can be recycled safely along with your cardboard boxes.

If you’re working with heavy and bulky packages, consider PVC custom shipping tape instead of polypropylene. PVC is thicker and adheres firmly to more surfaces. It’s also quiet when pulled from the role, making it more user-friendly.
