How Custom Printed Tape Is Made to Order

Choose packaging tape or barricade tape first. Packaging tape comes by the case, 36 rolls at 2 inches wide or 24 rolls at 3 inches, each 55 or 110 yards long, on white or clear polypropylene. Barricade tape comes on a 1,000 foot spool, 3 or 6 inches wide, in yellow or orange 4mil polyethylene. Then pick the ink color, upload art at 300 DPI with fonts outlined, approve the proof, and the order goes to press.

Custom Tape Printing for Branding, Safety, and Shipping

Custom tape here starts at one case of Packaging Tape for $347.11 or one spool of Barricade Tape for $115.33, so custom printed tape needs no big minimum. 4OVER4.COM prints your logo, safety warnings, or handling instructions across every inch of the roll, so a box, a pallet, or a taped-off perimeter carries your message the moment someone sees it.

The same tape does two jobs at once. It seals and secures like any tape, and it promotes or warns while it does it. That is why warehouses shipping hundreds of boxes a day and crews marking off a job site both reach for printed tape.

What You Can Order in the Tapes Range

Three tape products sit in this range. Packaging Tape and Printed Packaging Tape wrap and seal shipments while repeating your logo down the roll, in cases of 24 or 36 rolls that print in 20 business days, turning every outbound box into a small billboard.

Barricade Tape does the opposite job. It marks off construction zones, restricted areas, and hazards with bold, readable text in standard safety colors. Pick the tape by the task, then match the print to it.

Materials Built to Hold Ink Through Handling

Tape prints on film, not paper, so the ink survives friction, moisture, and temperature swings. Packaging tape uses polypropylene or PVC film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which gives it the strength and grip a shipment needs.

Barricade tape uses polyethylene instead. It is lightweight, tear-resistant, and stays highly visible outdoors through rain and sun. Whichever material you choose, the surface takes bold, full-color print that stays legible after handling.

Tape Print Colors and Widths

Three choices set the price of custom tape. The first is color count: packaging tape prints one ink or two, chosen from black, white and PMS colors such as Reflex Blue, 281 navy and 286, and barricade tape prints in black or red ink. The second is width: 2 or 3 inches for packaging tape, 3 or 6 inches for barricade tape. The third is roll length and case size, 55 or 110 yards per roll. The catalog lists one pressure-sensitive adhesive for packaging tape, so adhesive is not a choice here.

Keeping Your Artwork Bold and Readable

Tape reads best when the message is simple and high-contrast. A logo or warning has to register at a glance, even on a moving conveyor or across a busy site, so stick to 1 to 3 colors and large, clean type.

For branded packaging tape, repeat your logo down the roll so it shows no matter where the tape is cut. For barricade tape, keep the text large and lean on standard safety colors, red for danger, yellow for caution, orange for warning.

Tapes FAQ

What sizes do these tapes come in?

Sizes vary by product. Standard packing tape usually runs in 2-inch and 3-inch widths, while barricade tape comes in wider formats for visibility. Check the individual product page for exact widths and roll lengths.

What material is the tape printed on?

Tape prints on film substrates, not paper. Packaging tape uses polypropylene or PVC for strength and adhesion, while barricade tape uses lightweight, tear-resistant polyethylene that holds up outdoors.

How fast can I get printed tape?

Turnaround depends on the tape type and quantity ordered. 4OVER4.COM ships 99.8% of orders on time and 82% ship early. Pick your turnaround at checkout to see the production speeds available for your order.

Can tape be printed on both sides?

Most tape is single-sided, since one side carries the adhesive and the printed side faces out. For a message that reads from any angle, use a repeating logo or pattern that stays correct wherever the tape is cut.

Is there a minimum order for custom tape?

Minimums vary by product, since packing tape and barricade tape each have their own production setup. Check the specific product page for the exact minimum and the available quantity tiers.

What files do you accept, and can I see a proof first?

4OVER4.COM accepts PDF, AI, EPS, and PSD files, with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI for the sharpest result. You also get a proof to review color, text, and layout before your order goes into production.

How to make customized tape?

To make customized tape, pick the tape and width, upload your logo, and approve the proof. Packaging tape prints one or two ink colors on 2 or 3 inch white or clear polypropylene, one case at a time from $347.11, in 20 business days. Barricade tape prints on a 1,000 foot polyethylene spool from $115.33 in 10.
