QUESTION: Do you do custom printed tape?
ANSWER: We have a printer we work with that can do custom-printed packaging tape. The print legend height is approximately 1-5/8" for 2" wide tapes and 2-5/8" for 3" wide tapes. The legend length is an approximately a 10-1/2" pattern - with usually a 1/2"-3/4" space between legends (if the legend is less than 10-1/2" extra space will result). You can choose from 4 carrier/backing types and then once choose carrier other choices needed to determine quote: standard polypropylene film 2.0 mil (acrylic or hot melt adhesive); 2.4 mil (hot melt adhesive), 2.6 mil (acrylic adhesive); or 3.2 mil (acrylic adhesive) You can get the tape in 2 inch (48mm) or 3 inch (72mm) widths and in 55 yard or 110 yard lengths. You can also get alternative widths and longer lengths in some thickness options. 72 rolls come in a case of 2 x 55, 36 in a case of 2 x 110, 48 in a case of 3 x 55 and 24 in a case of 3 x 110. The BOPP film color is typically either white or clear and you can choose from 17 stock ink colors (PMS colors are extra) for the legend. The 17 stock colors are white, gray/5, black, red/186, orange/021, yellow/102, green/347, limegreen/368, reflex blue, process blue, teal/321, navy/281, pantone purple, pantone violet, maroon/201, brown/469 and gold/132.
