PVC Custom Printed Tape

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a versatile, flexible, and durable custom tape ideal for heavy-duty packing applications, such as large parts, bulky materials, and heavy supplies. We’ve coined PVC ‘the quiet tape’ because it makes virtually no noise when it’s pulled from the roll, making it a wise choice for quiet environments. Many companies love PVC tape because of its user-friendliness and ease of application. PVC stands out from many other custom shipping tapes because it is a premium packaging solution strong enough to hold up to your most robust applications.

Applications

If you’re considering PVC custom packing tape for your packaging application, you’ll find that it performs incredibly well with packages that:

Are bulky – Are you shipping bulky supplies or parts? PVC tape provides extra strong adhesion that can help keep your package contents sealed.
Are heavyweight – You can feel confident choosing PVC custom shipping tape for any heavy packaging application because it has the power to seal boxes exceeding 40 lbs.
Go beyond corrugate – While PVC adheres to cardboard boxes, it really shines when put to the test on other packaging materials, such as recycled plastics and other substrates.

Benefits of PVC custom packing tape

PVC is a specialty custom packing tape with many advantages for companies looking for a robust solution for heavy-duty packaging applications. PVC offers:

Quiet operation

Unlike the crackling noise from polypropylene tape, PVC custom tape has a smooth unwind. Earning the nickname as ‘the quiet tape,” PVC releases from the roll quietly, giving it an advantage for companies that need to keep the volume low.

Superior adhesion

PVC custom tape is a durable solution that yields superior adhesion to various packaging substrates, from corrugate to plastics, Styrofoam and beyond. So, if you’re looking for a heavy-duty custom shipping tape that will stick to your heavy or bulky packages, choose PVC.

Easy dispensability

PVC custom shipping tape is also easy to manage, making it versatile and user-friendly. It’s simple to dispense from the roll, even allowing you to tear the strips by hand if needed. PVC has another usability advantage: it is slow to grab to surfaces, giving you time to adjust the tape for a perfect fit. Once it does grab the surface, the adhesive forms an incredibly strong bond.

Fully customizable

There are many ways to customize PVC custom packing tape, from varying grades, lengths, tape colors, and ink colors, allowing you to make this heavy-duty packaging solution your own. Reference our helpful design considerations to ensure your custom tape truly shines.

Is PVC custom printed tape right for you?

PVC is an excellent choice for many heavy-duty applications, especially those that require you to package heavy or bulky contents. It’s quiet and easy to manage. When you apply pressure, PVC offers exceptional adhesion to surfaces beyond corrugate, giving you even more sealing power. However, PVC tape is not suited for longer print runs because it requires rubber plates to print instead of a rigid polymer that lends a crisper print from start to finish. For longer runs, consider polypropylene or paper custom printed tape.
