Printed tape is used to communicate important handling instructions, promote brand awareness, enhance packaging security, and ensure safe delivery of packages.
Printed tapes are typically made from durable materials like polypropylene or PVC, these adhesive offers strong hold and resistance to tearing.
Printed tape can be applied using a standard tape dispenser or by hand, ensuring a secure seal and clear visibility of the printed message.
You should use printed warning tape if you're looking to communicate clear messages about your parcel to people handling it. With a range of different prints available, such as "Fragile" or "Handle with Care" it can add an extra layer of protection to fragile and breakable goods.
Yes, using printed tape like fragile or handle with care helps alert handlers to take extra caution, reducing the risk of damage during shipping.
Some printed tapes, like polypropylene-based options, are recyclable. However, it's important to check local recycling guidelines.
Printed tape can be recycled industrially, but it depends on the material of the tape. Most printed tapes made from polypropylene (PP) or paper-based materials are recyclable in industrial facilities. Always check with local recycling facilities to confirm their guidelines for printed tape disposal.
