Printed adhesive tape 2 colors Hot-melt 48/60

📦 Custom 2-color Hot-melt Tape 48/60 - a combination of security and branding

Tape with your logo is more than just a way to seal a package. It's a mobile advertising surface that works on your brand's recognition with every shipment 📢. Thanks to the two-color print, you have more freedom in the project - the logo, slogan, and graphic symbols are clear and professional.

The strong hot-melt adhesive ensures a secure and durable closure of the carton, even in more difficult transport conditions. And the self-adhesive tape with personalization not only protects the contents, but also builds customer trust - it speaks of attention to detail and a professional approach to each shipment ⭐.

ℹ️ Production and delivery information

Due to the specifics of production, there is a quantity tolerance of ±10% for printed tapes. This means that the number of rolls in the delivery may be slightly higher or lower than ordered - this is standard practice in industrial printing.

🧾 Important: The customer is obliged to accept and pay for any surplus up to max. 10% compared to the declared quantity.

📊 Comparison: printed tape vs. regular packing tape

Technical Specifications

• Roll length: 60 yards (about 55 meters)
• Tape width: 48 mm
• Type of adhesive: hot-melt (synthetic rubber) - provides strong adhesion
• Print: 2 colors
• ⬜ Tape background: white (standard substrate for printing)

⚖️ Solvent, hot-melt or acrylic? - comparison of adhesives

The choice of tape type matters - each adhesive works best under different conditions. Here is a brief comparison:

➡️ When to choose solvent tape (natural rubber)?

• You need a very strong and durable adhesive: solvent provides the highest adhesion strength.
• Packages go to the refrigerator, outside or on a long journey: solvent does not lose its properties in humidity and extreme temperatures.
• You pack heavy or large loads: solvent tape does not peel off under load.
• Quiet and comfortable work is important: solvent unwinds much quieter than acrylic tape.

➡️ When is it worth using hot-melt tape?

• Fast packing and good adhesion: hot-melt (synthetic rubber) binds quickly and holds well, especially on new cartons.
• Working in standard warehouse conditions: room temperature and dry environment are ideal conditions for hot-melt.
• You need a favorable price: hot-melt tapes are usually cheaper than solvent ones.

➡️ When is acrylic tape enough?

• You pack light shipments: acrylic tape will work with small cartons.
• You send goods over short distances: for local logistics in a dry climate, acrylic may be sufficient.
• You are looking for an economical solution: acrylics are the cheapest, although less resistant to external factors.

🌱 Film tape or paper tape - what to choose?

Although plastic tapes, such as those with acrylic adhesive, offer durability and functionality, more and more companies are choosing paper alternatives. If you care about the environment - consider this change.

• ✅ Eco-friendly solution: paper packaging tape is fully biodegradable and easier to recycle than plastic tapes.
• ♻️ Consistency with brand values: cardboard packaging + paper tape = a message about a responsible approach to the environment.
• 📦 Aesthetics and naturalness: paper tapes go well with brown and gray eco-packaging.
• 🔒 High adhesive efficiency: modern paper tapes with plant or rubber adhesive offer very good adhesion and durability of closure.

If you want to reduce plastic in logistics - choose paper tapes with LOGO and show your customers that ecology is a part of your brand.

How to use the tape?

Here are a few tips on how to properly seal packages with our printed packing tape:

1. Prepare the cardboard: Make sure the box is filled and its flaps are properly folded.
2. Apply the tape: Apply the beginning of the tape to the middle of the upper gap (the place where the flaps join). Then, holding the roll, pull the tape along the joint, maintaining slight tension for even adhesion.
3. ✂️ Cut the tape: When you seal the entire gap, cut the tape - use a knife or a dispenser with a blade. Leave about 5 cm of tape reserve on both sides to stick well to the sides of the cardboard.
4. Press down and check: Press the tape along its entire length, especially at the ends. Make sure the tape is firmly adhered and does not protrude anywhere - the package is ready for shipment!

Tip: For convenience and faster work, use a tape dispenser - this simple device makes it easier to evenly apply the tape and efficiently cut it after sealing ⚡.

🛠️ Handheld dispenser - convenience and precision in sealing

Hand-sealing packages can be burdensome, especially when dealing with a larger number of shipments. Here comes the help of hand dispenser for packing tape – a practical tool that greatly speeds up and simplifies work 📦.

• ⚡ Speed and efficiency: You will seal a package in one move, without looking for the end of the tape or tearing it off by hand.
• 🧼 Clean cut: The built-in blade allows for precise tape cutting without frays – it looks aesthetic and holds strongly.
• 🤲 Ergonomics: The handle adapted to the hand reduces fatigue during long hours of work – less strain for wrists and fingers.
• 🔁 Repeatability: Each package looks the same – the tape is evenly applied and pressed, which builds a professional brand image.
• 💪 Solid construction: Dispensers made of metal and plastic are durable and resistant to intensive use in a warehouse or store.

📦 It's worth investing in a dispenser if you seal packages every day – it's a small cost that quickly pays off in the form of saved time and work comfort.

Graphic file preparation instruction

In order for the tape with logo project to be printed correctly, prepare the file according to the following guidelines:

• File format: vector graphics (AI, EPS or PDF). We do not accept bitmap files (.jpg, .png, .gif) – the logo must be prepared in curves.
• Color scheme: CMYK mode, 1-color project (without gradients). Set the project background to white (tape color) or transparent, according to the tape color.
• Resolution: 300 dpi for all raster elements – images with lower resolution (below 150 dpi) may lose quality after printing.
• Project dimensions: height 48 mm (tape width), length of a single pattern module adjust to needs (e.g. 300 mm). The designed module will be repeated along the entire length of the roll.
• Margins and bleed: maintain ~3 mm margin from the top and bottom edges of the project so that no important element is cut off. Add 2 mm bleed if the background or graphic elements are to reach the edge of the project.
• Typography: convert text to curves (text conversion to objects) to avoid font issues. Avoid very small elements – the minimum line thickness is about 1 mm, and the recommended minimum font size is 10 pt for readability.
• Pattern repeatability: make sure the pattern repeats smoothly. Place graphic elements at equal intervals – it's best to prepare one module that will be duplicated many times on the tape during printing.
