Ordering printed tape for a Johannesburg business involves four main steps: specifying the tape, preparing artwork, approving the proof and confirming production and delivery terms. Check sealing performance as carefully as the design.
Rennow Projects handles printed tape and packaging enquiries from 145 Diesel Road, New Era, Springs. Share your requirements so available options and current lead times can be confirmed.
Why Consider Custom Printed Tape?
Printed tape can display a logo, company name or handling message while closing a suitable carton. It may offer a practical branding option when compared with printed boxes, but the cost depends on quantities, artwork and the tape specification.
- Brand recognition: keep your company name visible on the parcel.
- Consistent presentation: use a clear, repeatable design across suitable boxes.
- Handling information: include a short message where useful, without replacing necessary packing protection.
Ordinary printed tape is not automatically tamper-evident. If security is a requirement, ask for a purpose-designed product and test it on the actual carton. Printed “security seal” wording alone does not prove a package has remained unopened.
Design: Prepare and Approve the Artwork
Provide a Clear Brief
Send your logo, wording, preferred colours, tape background and required width. Explain the carton surface, packed weight and storage conditions so the adhesive and backing can also be assessed.
Review the Proof
Check spelling, contact details, logo proportions, repeat spacing and print position. Ask how colours will be specified and whether a physical sample is available. A screen proof cannot guarantee an exact printed colour match.
Approve Before Production
Confirm the final artwork and product specification in writing. Ask about setup charges, minimum quantities and how artwork changes affect the delivery date. Keep the approved version for repeat orders.
Production: Materials and Quality Checks
The printing method and any plate requirements depend on the supplier and product. Confirm them in the quotation instead of assuming every order follows the same process.
Choose adhesive and backing around the carton, application conditions and expected storage. Ask for the specific tape data and trial a sample. Neither acrylic nor rubber-based adhesive is automatically the best choice for every box.
Agree the roll width, length, quantity and print requirements. On receipt, check the rolls against the order and inspect print legibility, winding and sealing performance.
Printed Packaging Tape and Security Tape
Printed packaging tape provides a branded closure for an appropriate application. Purpose-designed tamper-evident tape has additional features intended to show interference, such as an irreversible opening message.
Security performance depends on the product, carton surface and application. Discuss the actual requirement and available documentation before selecting a tape.
Delivery and Repeat Orders
Confirm when the lead time starts, particularly where artwork approval or payment is required. Agree the delivery address, charges and expected date. Local supply does not guarantee immediate delivery of custom-printed products.
Store tape according to manufacturer guidance and use older suitable stock first. Keep the approved artwork and specification accessible to make repeat enquiries simpler.
