What Are Printed Tapes?
Printed tape is adhesive tape that carries customised text, graphics, logos, branding or other approved artwork.
It can be used to:
- Seal cartons
- Close boxes
- Secure parcels
- Brand shipments
- Display company information
- Add handling instructions
- Create consistent packaging
- Increase visibility of a business during delivery
The result is a packaging tape that performs a practical function while also communicating your brand.
A simple carton can therefore become:
Box + Printed Tape + Logo = Branded Package
Custom Printed Tapes for Kenyan Businesses
Printed tape is particularly useful when your business sends products in cartons or parcels on a regular basis.
E-Commerce Businesses
Your package may be the first physical interaction a customer has with your business.
Custom printed tape can be used on:
- Online orders
- Delivery boxes
- Courier parcels
- Customer shipments
- Return packages
- Product cartons
Your branding travels with the package from your packing area to the customer.

Retailers can use printed tape when packing customer orders, preparing stock or sending products to other locations.
It provides a simple way to keep packaging consistent without requiring every carton to be custom printed.
Manufacturers

It can complement:
- Product labels
- Printed cartons
- Shipping labels
- Packaging boxes
- Product stickers
Wholesalers and Distributors
Printed tape can help businesses identify outgoing cartons while maintaining a consistent company presentation.
Warehouses and Logistics Businesses
For companies handling large volumes of packages, printed tape can form part of a standardised packing and dispatch process.
Printed Packing Tape in Kenya
Printed packing tape is one of the most practical forms of custom printed tape.
It combines carton sealing with branding.
Instead of:
Carton → Plain Tape → Customer
you can have:
Carton → Printed Tape → Branded Package → Customer
This is particularly useful for businesses that want packaging to remain recognisable throughout storage, handling and delivery.
Printed packing tape can be used for:
- Shipping cartons
- E-commerce orders
- Warehouse dispatch
- Retail packages
- Product packaging
- Distribution
- Storage boxes
- Courier parcels
Custom Logo Printed Tape
Your logo is often the most important element of branded tape.
A well-designed logo printed tape can repeat your brand identity across every package your business sends out.
Depending on the approved artwork, printed tape can include:
- Company logo
- Business name
- Brand name
- Website
- Phone number
- Social media handle
- Slogan
- Handling instructions
- Short marketing messages
- Brand colours
- Simple graphics
The design should remain clear when repeated along the length of the tape.
Printed Tape for Packaging
Packaging is no longer only about protecting a product.
For many businesses, the package is part of the customer experience.
Printed tape can complement other branded packaging elements such as:
- Custom boxes
- Product labels
- Stickers
- Thank-you cards
- Branded bags
- Shipping labels
- Tissue paper
- Product inserts
The objective is to create a consistent appearance without making the packaging unnecessarily complicated.
Why Use Printed Tape?
Brand Visibility
Your logo appears on the packages leaving your business.
For companies that send products regularly, this creates repeated exposure to the brand.
Professional Packaging
Printed tape can give standard cartons a more deliberate and consistent appearance.
Simple Branding Upgrade
You can add branding to ordinary packaging without necessarily replacing your existing cartons.
Customer Recognition
A consistent tape design can make your packages easier for customers to recognise.
Useful for Shipping
The tape can perform its normal sealing function while carrying your branding.
Suitable for E-Commerce
Printed tape works particularly well for businesses sending products directly to customers.
Consistent Brand Presentation
Using the same logo, colours and design across your packages can reinforce your overall visual identity.
Printed Tape for E-Commerce Businesses
For an online business, packaging is part of the delivery experience.
Your customer may see your package before they see the product inside it.
Printed tape can therefore help establish a branded presentation from the moment the order arrives.
A typical e-commerce package might combine:
Product → Box → Printed Tape → Shipping Label → Customer
The tape does not replace your packaging design. It adds another branded element to it.
This makes custom printed tape for e-commerce packaging particularly useful for online stores, social-commerce businesses and growing direct-to-consumer brands.
Printed Tape for Carton Sealing
The primary function of packaging tape remains sealing.
Printed tape should therefore be selected according to the intended packaging application.
It can be used to seal:
- Cardboard cartons
- Shipping boxes
- Storage boxes
- Delivery packages
- Product cartons
- Warehouse packages
For heavier or demanding packaging applications, the tape specification should be matched to the carton and handling conditions.
Printed Tape for Retail and Product Packaging
Retailers and product brands can use printed tape to reinforce their identity at the point of packaging.
For example, a business may use:
Branded Box + Logo Label + Printed Tape
rather than relying on the box alone.
This can be particularly effective for businesses that use standard packaging boxes but want to add their own identity.
Printed Tape for Manufacturers
Manufacturing businesses often seal products into cartons before the goods move into storage or distribution.
Printed tape can help maintain a consistent appearance across outgoing cartons.
Applications may include:
- Finished goods
- Spare parts
- Wholesale orders
- Distributor shipments
- Export cartons
- Internal transfers
- Warehouse stock
Where cartons move between different locations, consistent packaging identification can also make the shipment easier to recognise.
Printed Tape for Wholesalers and Distributors
Wholesalers and distributors regularly move products between suppliers, warehouses, retailers and customers.
Printed tape provides a simple branding opportunity without requiring custom cartons for every shipment.
It can be used to identify:
- Company shipments
- Distribution cartons
- Customer orders
- Stock transfers
- Wholesale deliveries
What Can Be Printed on Tape?
Your printed tape can be designed around the information that matters most to your business.
Common options include:
Company Logo
The simplest way to identify the package with your brand.
Company Name
Useful where the logo alone may not clearly communicate the business identity.
Website
Useful for directing customers back to your online presence.
Contact Details
A phone number, email or other approved contact information can be included where appropriate.
Brand Message
A short slogan or marketing message can reinforce your positioning.
Handling Instructions
Where appropriate, tape can also communicate messages such as handling instructions.
Repeated Pattern
Your logo or design can be repeated along the tape to create a consistent visual effect.
Custom Printed Tape for Small Businesses
Printed tape is not limited to large corporations.
Small and growing businesses can use it to make standard packaging look more distinctive.
It can be suitable for:
- Startups
- Online shops
- Instagram businesses
- Boutique retailers
- Fashion businesses
- Beauty brands
- Food businesses
- Bakeries
- Gift businesses
- Small manufacturers
For businesses that are still growing, printed tape can provide a practical branding upgrade without requiring a complete packaging redesign.
Printed Tape for Corporate and Institutional Packaging
Larger organisations can also use printed tape for internal and external packaging.
Applications may include:
- Departmental transfers
- Equipment shipments
- Sample packages
- Product deliveries
- Promotional packages
- Warehouse dispatch
- Branch transfers
A consistent tape design can help standardise packaging across different departments or locations.
