Hotmelt polypropylene machine tape is a cost-effective choice for businesses looking to combine strong carton sealing with printed branding. All designs are printed using PANTONE® colours, not CMYK, so for the closest match please choose from the PANTONE® Coated Library.
Pro tip: there is a small gap between repeats on printed tape, so we do not recommend using a solid full-background colour across the entire design.
