Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need water-activated or pressure sensitive tape?
What are your artwork specifications and requirements?

How long will it take to receive my custom tape?
You will receive a digital proof of your tape within 1-2 days after your order is placed. Once your proof is approved, your lead time and custom tape printing will begin. Check out our current lead times here.
Is your custom tape recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable?
We encourage focusing on the end-of-life and recyclability of the box that the tape is to be used on. None of our tape will prevent a shipping box from being recycled.
When our non-reinforced water-activated tape is placed on a corrugate box, and that box is recycled with the tape, both the tape and the box are easily recycled in the same stream. The same goes for our reinforced water-activated tape, except the fiberglass is screened out during box recycling.
The adhesive on our Kraft flatback tape is partially natural, partially synthetic rubber, and coated with a high-tack adhesive that is not biodegradable. This tape is often screened out during box recycling.
Do you offer custom tape samples?
We do not offer custom tape design samples, but we do share a digital proof that is designed to show the design layout, text accuracy, image proportion, and artwork placement on the tape. You will receive a final preproduction proof within 1-2 days after your order is placed.
We offer complimentary samples of water-activated tape so you can get a feel for the material. Single rolls of our cello and Kraft flatback tape can be purchased here.
Does your custom tape contain recycled content?
Our blank non-reinforced water-activated tape has 50% recycled content. Unfortunately at this time, to receive 50% recycled content in custom printed non-reinforced water-activated tape you must order 63+ cases of tape. If this is of interest, please contact us.
Do you sell tape dispensers?
Yes! We recommend a dispenser for our water-activated tape. This tape is operationally seamless to use when used with an automated WAT dispenser allowing you to move orders through fulfillment more quickly and easily.
This video shows different ways to dispense Water-Activated Tape. Whatever your needs and budget, we have a dispenser to help make the switch to this tape.
We recommend tearing our Kraft flatback and cello tape by hand.
