WHY CHOOSE PAPER TAPE?
Make the tape feel like part of the packaging
Paper tape has a different character to plastic packaging tapes. Its paper surface works naturally with cardboard and kraft packaging, helping the branding feel integrated into the finished parcel rather than simply added on afterwards.
Made for kraft
Paper tape sits naturally alongside kraft cartons and other paper-led packaging styles.
Branded your way
Add your logo, wording or repeat design and turn a practical packing material into visible branding.
Memorable unboxing
Branded tape is visible before the box is opened, extending your identity to the outer packaging.
A NATURAL PARTNER FOR KRAFT
Paper tape and kraft cartons work beautifully together
Kraft packaging has a warm, natural look. Printed paper tape complements that style, making it a strong choice for brands that want the outer parcel to feel cohesive and carefully considered.
You can keep the design understated with simple branding or use stronger contrast to make the tape a more prominent part of the parcel.

Creates a coordinated paper-led appearance
Suitable for understated or high-contrast branding
CUSTOM PRINTED FOR YOUR BRAND
Turn a shipping box into branded packaging
Plain cartons do the practical job. Custom printed paper tape adds the brand layer, repeating your logo or message across the box wherever the tape is applied.
Simple artwork often works particularly well on packaging tape. A clear logo, good contrast and balanced repeat can create a strong result without making the parcel feel over-designed.
Design tip
Think about the tape and carton together. The background colour of the box can be just as important as the tape artwork itself.
