Jewelry ships small, which means a single roll of tape lasts a long time and a 36-roll order is a year or more of branded shipments. It also means the design has to be right at a small size.
Why it matters for jewelry brands
- A year of tape in one order. A 6 inch box uses about a foot of tape. A 110 yd roll seals 300 of them with one strip; 36 rolls covers most jewelry brands for a year or longer.
- Gifting season. Jewelry orders spike in November, December and before Valentine's Day. Branded tape on a gift that arrives at someone else's door is seen by the recipient first.
- Wholesale to boutiques. Cases to stockists look the part with your name on the seal.
What works on your boxes
Jewelry orders ship in small boxes or rigid mailers around 6 by 4 by 2 inches, often sealed with a single strip. The tape is seen close up, so a wordmark in 1 color on white or clear tape works best; avoid thin script that breaks up at 2 inch tape width. 55 yd rolls are the sensible length for small shippers; 110 yd for brands over a thousand orders a month.
How it works
- Upload your logo. Any file works. See it on a tape strip, on a box and on a doorstep in the free mockup tool, no signup.
- Get a free proof. A hand-checked digital proof at real print size within 3 business days. We adapt the logo for print at no charge.
- Approve and order. From 36 rolls per design. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof.
- Reorder in one line. The print cylinder stays on file: same price, no setup, no re-approval.
How much tape you use
A 110 yd roll seals roughly 140 small boxes, 110 medium or 80 large, taped top and bottom; one strip goes about twice as far. The table assumes your usual box size; the roll calculator does the exact math.
| Orders a month | Rolls a month (110 yd) | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| 150 orders a month | about 1 | 72 rolls, reorder when low |
| 600 orders a month | about 4 | 72 rolls, reorder when low |
| 2,500 orders a month | about 18 | 216 rolls (free setup, free US shipping) |
Pricing
The standard tiers are on the pricing table: 36, 72, 144 and 216 rolls per design, in 55 yd or 110 yd lengths, from $16.49 a roll (55 yd) and $20.49 (110 yd) at 36 rolls down to $13.49 and $17.49 at 216. Print setup is a one-time charge at 36 and 72 rolls and free from 144 rolls up; 216-roll orders ship free in the US. Prices shown are for a 1-color design: 36-roll orders print on clear or kraft tape, other tape colors start at 72 rolls at a small quoted extra, and 2-color designs start at 72 rolls with a one-time $299 two-color setup (free from 144 rolls). Founding customers get 15% more tape on every roll, free, on their first order.
Volume programs from 576 rolls are quoted to the configuration: roll length, color count, annual volume, delivery schedule and destination. Request volume pricing with your rough numbers.
The tape
- 2 inch (48 mm) glossy BOPP film, about 2 mil total, on a 3 inch core that fits standard tape guns.
- Water-based acrylic adhesive that does not yellow in storage.
- Protected print: the ink is sealed between film and adhesive, so it cannot scuff off in transit.
- 1 to 2 spot colors standard, matched to your brand color; 3 or more quoted with the proof.
- Clear, white, kraft-tone and colored films.
Samples
We do not print sample rolls with your logo: printed tape does not exist until a cylinder is cut and a press is set up, so a sample costs what a small order costs. See your logo on the tape and on a box in the free mockup tool, then approve a free proof at real print size before anything is printed.

Upload it, look at it on a doorstep, then ask for the free proof. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
