Fully recyclable

100% kraft paper — stays with the box during recycling. No plastic waste, no guilty conscience.

FAQs

Common questions about custom printed tape

What's the minimum order quantity for printed water-activated tape?
We offer low minimum order quantities for custom printed water-activated tape — far lower than traditional suppliers who demand 1,000+ rolls. Check our instant quote tool for your specific quantity and size.
How fast can you dispatch my printed tape?
Next-day dispatch is available on many orders. Standard lead time is 48 hours from proof approval. All tape is printed in our UK facility in Staffordshire, so no waiting weeks for overseas shipments.
Do I need to pay setup or plate fees?
No. We use full-colour digital printing, so there are no plate fees, no setup charges, and no hidden costs — just straightforward pricing for your custom tape.
What sizes of water-activated tape can you print?
We offer 60mm and 72mm widths — the two most popular sizes for ecommerce and shipping. Both are compatible with standard water-activated tape dispensers.
How do I apply water-activated tape?
You'll need a water-activated tape dispenser (manual or electric). The dispenser wets the tape and cuts it to length. Once applied, it bonds permanently to the cardboard — creating a tamper-evident seal that's far stronger than plastic tape.
Can I print full-colour designs, or is it limited to one colour?
Full-colour printing is included as standard. Print your logo, brand colours, patterns, or even photographic images — all with no additional cost.
Is water-activated tape really recyclable?
Yes. Our water-activated tape is 100% kraft paper and can stay on the box during recycling. Unlike plastic tape, it doesn't contaminate the waste stream or require removal before recycling.
