Using custom recycled tape serves a vital environmental purpose by minimizing the demand for new resources and reducing the overall ecological footprint. By incorporating recycled materials into your packaging, you actively contribute to the conservation of natural resources, decrease energy consumption, and divert waste from landfills.

This eco-conscious choice not only showcases your commitment to sustainable practices but also resonates with environmentally conscious consumers, fostering a sense of shared responsibility for a greener future.

Decide on the Grade

When choosing the grade or weight of custom recycled tape for your store, you're making a decision that directly affects the strength, durability, and performance of the tape. Here's a breakdown of the options:


Standard Grade:

Opting for standard-grade tape provides a basic level of strength and adhesive performance. This option is suitable for everyday packaging needs where items are relatively lightweight and don't require extra reinforcement. Standard-grade tape is cost-effective and practical for a wide range of packaging tasks.



Medium Grade:

Choosing medium-grade tape offers increased strength and adhesive quality compared to standard-grade. Medium-grade tape is ideal for packages that contain moderately heavy items or materials that might require more secure sealing. It's a versatile choice that strikes a balance between affordability and durability.


Heavy Grade:

Opting for heavy-grade tape delivers maximum strength and adhesive power. Heavy-grade tape is suitable for packages that are bulky, heavy, or require added security during transit. This option ensures that packages are securely sealed and protected, making it suitable for valuable, fragile, or larger items.


Choose the size


50mm x 50M

Opting for the size of 50mm x 50m provides a versatile width that can effectively seal a wide range of package sizes. This size offers ample coverage for most packages while also being easy to handle and apply. It strikes a balance between efficient sealing and conserving tape for more packages.



72mm x 50M

Choosing the size of 72mm x 50m offers a wider tape that's suitable for larger packages or boxes. This size ensures secure sealing with fewer turns around the package, which can save time during the packaging process. It's particularly advantageous for larger items that require a stronger seal.


What type of tape?


Recycled Kraft Tape

Opting for kraft recycled tape provides a rustic and eco-friendly appearance. Kraft tape is made from unbleached natural fibers, giving it a brown, earthy color. It aligns well with sustainability initiatives and creates a "green" and environmentally conscious impression. Kraft tape's natural look adds a charming touch to packaging, making it suitable for brands aiming for an organic or handmade feel.



White Recycled Tape

Choosing white recycled tape offers a clean and versatile appearance. White tape provides a neutral canvas that works well with various branding elements, such as logos, labels, or text. It offers a crisp and professional look that can be easily customized to match your brand's colors and aesthetics.


What kind of print?


Solid print

Opting for a solid print involves using pre-designed patterns, symbols, or messages that are consistent across the tape. Solid print tape can feature branding elements like your logo, tagline, or eco-friendly icons. It provides a cohesive and recognizable look, making it a great choice for reinforcing your brand identity.


Custom print

Choosing custom print tape allows you to create unique and tailor-made designs that resonate with your brand's theme or message. Custom print tape can feature intricate patterns, specific graphics, or even personalized messages. It adds an extra layer of personalization to your packaging, making each package feel special and memorable.
