How to make custom Washi Tape

Custom Washi Tape: A Fun & Creative Guide for Making Your Own 🎨✨

Washi tape, made from traditional Japanese paper (wa meaning ‘Japanese’ and shi meaning ‘paper’), is a must-have for anyone passionate about crafting, stationery, or journaling. Whether you're using washi tape to decorate planners, add personality to gifts, or jazz up scrapbooks, its beautiful designs make it a versatile and fun accessory.

But what if you could create your own custom washi tape? 😍 Whether you're a business owner looking to add washi tape to your store or a stationery enthusiast wanting to create personalized rolls, this guide is for you. Plus, by choosing a B Corp certified company like Yourstuffmade.com, you're not only ensuring high-quality products but also supporting ethical manufacturing. Let’s dive into how you can get started!

Step 1: Design Your Pattern 🎨

This is where the magic happens! Designing your own washi tape pattern lets you showcase your imagination and creativity. Before you start, here are some important details to keep in mind:

Pattern Guidelines:

  • Bleed: Make sure to add 1.5mm bleed on the top and bottom edges of your design. This ensures your design looks flawless when printed.
  • Text & Essential Design: Avoid placing any important text or elements within the 1.5mm bleed area.
  • Loop Length: The maximum loop length is 250mm. This will repeat to create the overall design on the washi tape roll.
  • Shorter Patterns: If you want a shorter loop, ensure the design repeats seamlessly.

File Formats:

To ensure the best quality, we recommend submitting your design in Ai or PNG formats. However, we also accept PDF and JPEG files. If you're not sure about your design, our team at Yourstuffmade.com is happy to assist with setting it up!

💡 Pro Tip: Make your design vibrant and fun—washi tape is all about adding a pop of creativity to your projects!

Step 2: Choose Your Tape's Width 📏

Washi tape comes in various widths, and choosing the right size depends on how you plan to use it. Here are some of the most popular options:

  • 10mm: A slimmer option that’s perfect for subtle decoration or accents on smaller surfaces.
  • 15mm: The most popular and versatile width, suitable for most projects and designs.
  • 20mm: Offers more space for intricate designs or bolder statements.

Want something even wider? No problem! You can customize the width further by selecting your preference on our quote form or letting your account manager know your desired size.

Step 3: Choose Your Tape's Length 📏

Length matters when deciding how much tape you’ll need. We offer two popular options for washi tape length:

  • 5 meters: Ideal for smaller projects or individual use.
  • 10 meters: Perfect for longer usage or retail purposes.

Pick the length that suits your needs best by indicating your preference on the quote form or sharing it with your account manager.
