Custom Printed Packaging Tape Can Carry Your Branding or Sales Message

Printed packaging tapes can be stock tapes that carry standard messages like FRAGILE, or can be custom printed with your own message. A custom printed packaging tape can act as your brand ambassador during the transit of the package.

Just take adequate care to ensure that both the tape material and printing are good quality. Sub-standard tapes and printing can destroy your image, making people feel that you do not care for quality.

Ordering Custom Printed Packaging Tape

Select a packaging tape that is tailored to your packaging needs. Different kinds of tapes are needed for different types of packages. For example lightweight or heavyweight, single-wall or multi-wall, plain or corrugated, etc packages need packaging tapes of different strengths and adhesive quality.

Packaging tapes can be made from paper, vinyl, PVC, polypropylene or blends. Each has its own characteristics and strengths. The glue used can also differ in the speed and strength of adhesion, and suitability for different surfaces. You have to understand these differences to choose the right kind of packaging tape to meet your needs.

Get the tape custom printed with your company logo, name and contact details at the minimum. Custom printed packaging tapes can also carry additional short promotional messages if they are wide enough. Do the whole thing in a tasteful manner so that your brand image is enhanced, not damaged.

The printing can be done not only on the outer surface of the tape, but also on the inside surface of the tubing that holds the tape. While this message will not go with the package, it might serve other purposes, as when you give plain packaging tape rolls as corporate gifts. More typically, it is the tape supplier who uses this space to remind the customer that it was they who supplied the high quality tape.

The Packaging Tape Real Estate

Marketing oriented companies will not let the packaging tape real estate go waste. With widths of 2 or 3 inches, and printable surfaces, packaging tapes offer a good medium for conveying your brand-building and business-promotional messages.

Several people will see the message on the custom printed packaging tape during its transit. Make them notice your message, through appropriate design, including the message itself, the background, the print quality and other elements.

How to Save on International Shipping and Packaging Service

When it comes to international shipping, consumers and businesses must be aware of the cost; furthermore they need to have the how-to knowledge to deal with international export requirements. Shipping is easy, doing it right can be a challenge; when it comes to international shipping, you can leave it to the professionals to do for a fee or do it yourself and take all the risk.

First you need to know that equation behind shipping cost calculation:

You are paying for space in aircraft! So always keep this in mind when packaging. Also be aware that depending on destinations, some countries may refuse the contents, so always check with carriers. Example, Muslim countries prohibit shipment of anything offensive to religion, so sending a Penthouse Magazine to Kuwait will be confiscated.

Here are few tips on packaging:

1. Choose the Right Box

Use a box that is strong enough to protect the contents and large enough to leave space for adequate cushioning. You can also buy various sizes of boxes, as well as padded mailers, mailing tubes, and other packing materials at the store. If you choose a previously-used box, make sure you remove or cross out any old shipping labels, and make sure the box is in good shape, with no weak spots or cracks. Old or new, make sure the box is made of heavy, corrugated cardboard. Thinner boxes, such as most shoe boxes or gift boxes are not strong enough for shipping.

2. Protect and Pack

Don't skimp on cushioning material. You can use shredded or crumpled newspaper, bubble wrap, or Styrofoam(TM) peanuts, or even plain air-popped popcorn. Pack items tightly to avoid shifting, and make sure the cushioning material covers all sides of the object.

If you're shipping several items together, wrap each one separately and provide enough cushioning to prevent movement.

Fragile items need extra protection:

For extra identification, place a return address label inside the package. After packing, gently shake the box. If nothing moves, it's ready to be sealed.

3. Seal Carefully

A strong seal is essential, so always use tape that is designed for shipping, such as pressure-sensitive tape, nylon-reinforced Kraft paper tape, or glass-reinforced pressure-sensitive tape. These items can be purchased at the store. We recommend you do not use wrapping paper, string, masking tape, or cellophane tape.
