In short
Custom packaging tape is box-sealing tape printed with a logo or message, in paper or plastic, that brands a plain shipping box as it seals it. Box Sense supplies them from 10 rolls, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our custom packaging tape
Printed tape is the least expensive way to brand a shipment: a plain brown box sealed with your tape is recognizably yours at the door. It also shows if a parcel has been opened and resealed.
We supply paper and poly tape in standard widths with your logo, in one or more colors, from 10 rolls.
Tape options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft paper tape | Paper-based packaging | Recyclable with the box |
| Polypropylene tape | Everyday sealing | Economical; works with hand dispensers |
| Reinforced water-activated tape | Heavy cartons | Strongest, tamper-evident bond |
What affects the price of custom packaging tape
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Material. Water-activated paper tape costs more than standard poly tape.
- Colors. Each additional print color adds cost.
- Width and length. Wider and longer rolls cost more.
- Quantity. Unit prices fall sharply at volume.

Paper or plastic?
Water-activated paper tape bonds into the box fibers, shows tampering clearly and can be recycled with the box, but needs a dispenser that wets it. Poly tape is cheaper and works with any tape gun. Brands moving to plastic-free packaging usually choose paper.
Design tips
- Keep the logo within the tape width with clear margins
- A repeating design reads however the tape is cut
- High-contrast one-color print is the most legible
- Add a short message, handle or website
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.
- Approve the proof. We send a dieline and a 3D proof so you can see the box before it is made.
- Production. 8–12 business days, or 5 days on rush.
- Delivery. Boxes ship flat to you anywhere in the USA, free of charge.
