Branded Paper Tape for Ecommerce Packaging
For ecommerce businesses, packaging is one of the few physical interactions a customer has with your brand.
A plain cardboard box sealed with ordinary tape performs its job, but adding custom printed paper tape immediately makes the parcel more distinctive.
Your tape can carry branding such as:
- company logo
- company name
- website address
- telephone number
- marketing message
- slogan
- handling instruction
- promotional message
Because the same tape can be used across many different sizes of cardboard box, it provides a practical way to introduce consistent branding without ordering custom printed cartons in every size.
Brown or White Custom Printed Paper Tape
Choose the background that best suits your packaging and artwork.
Brown Kraft Printed Tape
Natural brown kraft tape complements standard brown corrugated cardboard boxes and gives packaging a simple, natural appearance.
It works particularly well with darker logos, bold typography and simple one or two-colour designs.
White Printed Paper Tape
White paper tape provides a cleaner background where strong colour contrast is required.
It can also be a particularly good choice for white cartons, presentation packaging or company branding that would not stand out clearly against natural brown kraft.
Print Your Logo on Kraft Paper Tape
Your company logo can be repeated along the length of the roll so your branding remains visible wherever the tape is cut and applied.
Simple designs usually produce the strongest result on packaging tape.
A logo combined with a company name, short website address or concise message can be much easier to recognise than trying to reproduce a complicated advertisement on a narrow strip of tape.
If you are unsure whether your existing logo is suitable for printing, contact Defenda Packaging before ordering and we can advise on the artwork available.
One, Two or Three Colour Printing
Our custom kraft paper tape can be printed using up to three artwork colours.
A one-colour design can provide excellent visibility at a relatively simple specification, while two or three colours allow more of an existing brand identity to be reproduced.
When choosing your design, remember that the tape is only 50mm wide.
Clear, bold artwork will usually be more effective than very fine text or intricate detail.
What Artwork Should I Supply?
For the best printed result, supply the highest-quality version of your logo or design available.
Vector artwork is preferable wherever possible because it can be resized without losing quality.
Suitable formats may include:
- AI
- EPS
- vector PDF
- SVG
High-resolution image files may also be usable depending on the design.
Avoid sending screenshots or small website graphics where possible, as these may not contain enough detail to reproduce cleanly in print.
If your existing logo needs to be converted into a more suitable format, contact us to discuss the artwork before production.

Custom Printed Paper Tape for Cardboard Boxes
Kraft paper tape is particularly well suited to sealing paper and cardboard packaging.
The solvent rubber adhesive provides strong adhesion to packaging surfaces, while the paper backing creates a neat finish on corrugated boxes.
Typical applications include:
- ecommerce parcels
- shipping cartons
- subscription boxes
- retail dispatches
- warehouse packaging
- mail-order parcels
- branded presentation packaging
The tape is self-adhesive, so no water is required for activation.
Paper Tape You Can Tear by Hand
The kraft paper construction allows this tape to be easily torn by hand.
For many packing operations this means individual strips can be applied without needing a tape gun or dispenser.
This can be particularly convenient for lower-volume packing stations, retail dispatch areas and businesses where parcels are prepared in several different locations.
Recyclable Custom Printed Packaging Tape
Our printed kraft tape is designed as a paper-based alternative to conventional plastic packing tape.
The tape can be recycled along with a cardboard box after use, reducing the need for the recipient to separate plastic parcel tape from the carton before recycling.
The paper is manufactured using renewable resources and the tape is printed using water-soluble ink.
For businesses seeking to reduce the amount of plastic used in outgoing parcels, custom printed kraft paper tape provides the opportunity to combine branding and carton sealing in one paper-based product.
Custom Printed Paper Tape vs Plastic Printed Tape
Both products can provide excellent branding, but they offer different advantages.
Choose Custom Printed Kraft Paper Tape If:
- you prefer paper-based packaging
- you want the tape to complement kraft cardboard boxes
- hand tearing is useful
- recyclability with cardboard is important
- you prefer the appearance of paper tape
Choose Conventional Custom Printed Packing Tape If:
- you prefer traditional polypropylene parcel tape
- clear or coloured plastic backgrounds are required
- your particular application is better suited to plastic tape
Defenda supplies both options, allowing you to choose the tape that best suits your packaging operation.

Custom Printed Tape vs Custom Printed Boxes
For many businesses, printed tape can be a more flexible way to brand outgoing parcels than custom printed cartons.
A company might use several different box sizes.
Ordering each carton size with bespoke print can require separate quantities, storage space and stock management.
One design of branded paper tape can instead be used across many different sizes of plain cardboard box.
This allows you to create a consistent branded appearance without replacing your existing range of stock cartons.
Custom Printed Kraft Tape for Small and Growing Brands
You do not need to dispatch thousands of parcels every day to make branded packaging useful.
With quantities starting at 36 rolls, custom printed paper tape can also be practical for:
- growing ecommerce businesses
- independent retailers
- subscription businesses
- specialist manufacturers
- craft brands
- mail-order businesses
- businesses launching new branded packaging
As order volumes grow, larger quantity options are also available.
Why Use Custom Printed Tape?
Every parcel already needs to be sealed.
Replacing ordinary tape with your own branded tape allows that necessary packaging material to perform another job at the same time.
It can help:
- make parcels more recognisable
- reinforce your company branding
- present a more professional package
- advertise your website
- communicate a short message
- create a more consistent customer experience
- make packages easier to identify in warehouses and distribution environments
Unlike promotional packaging that serves no practical purpose, printed tape is still performing its primary job of sealing the box.
