Custom Printed Film Tape for Branded Packaging and Shipping
Custom printed film tape puts your brand, logo, or message on every carton you ship.

Custom Printed Film Tape Selection Guide

|---|---|---|---|
| High-volume e-commerce fulfillment | 2 mil or 2.5 mil | Acrylic | Cost-effective at volume, reliable at stable temps |
| General distribution and warehousing | 2.5 mil | Acrylic or hot melt | Best balance of cost, print quality and hold |
| Heavy cartons or industrial shipping | 3 mil | Hot melt | Higher tensile and aggressive tack on rough board |
| Cold storage or temperature variation | 2.5 mil or 3 mil | Hot melt | Hot melt maintains adhesion in cold environments |
| Automated case sealer lines | 2 mil or 2.5 mil | Acrylic | Consistent unwind and tension on machine heads |
Automation Compatibility
Custom printed BOPP film tape is compatible with standard automated case sealers including random and uniform sealer configurations. Machine-length rolls reduce change-out frequency on high-volume lines. Acrylic adhesive systems are generally preferred for automated equipment because they provide consistent unwind tension and resist buildup on tape heads. Confirm roll core diameter and maximum roll diameter with your equipment manufacturer before ordering machine-length custom rolls.
