- Standard 3" width for maximum sealing coverage
- Choose between 375 ft or 450 ft roll lengths
- Reinforced with fiberglass yarns for heavy-duty security
- 100% Recyclable and biodegradable materials
- Performant in extreme heat, cold, and high-humidity environments
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We offer industry-leading low minimums starting at just 4 rolls. This allows small businesses to access professional, branded packaging without high inventory costs.
Does this tape require a special dispenser?
Yes. Because this tape uses a starch-based adhesive, it must be moistened to activate the glue. You will need a manual or electric water-activated (gummed) tape dispenser.
What is the difference between White and Brown tape?
Natural Kraft (Brown) offers an organic, eco-friendly look that blends perfectly with standard corrugated boxes. White provides a high-contrast "pop" for your branding and logo colors.
Is this tape tamper-evident?
Yes. Because the adhesive bonds directly to the box fibers, the tape cannot be removed without leaving visible damage to the carton. This makes it a top choice for high-value or sensitive shipments.
Tape Art Templates
Please use our standard templates to ensure your logo repeat and spacing are set correctly for the printing press. You can choose to have your logo repeat every few inches or create a continuous pattern.

Artwork Requirements for Tape
Step 1: Set to CMYK
Ensure your file is in CMYK mode. For Brown Kraft tape, keep in mind that the brown background will affect how light colors appear; dark colors and bold blacks work best.
Step 2: Vector Art is Best
For the sharpest print on paper tape, we highly recommend using Vector files (.AI, .EPS, or .PDF). This ensures your logo doesn't "bleed" or look fuzzy on the kraft texture.
Step 3: Define Your Repeat
Most customers prefer a 6" or 12" repeat for their logo. Ensure there is enough "safe zone" between repeats to avoid your logo being cut off during application.
