A Shopify store that packs its own orders controls the whole unboxing except one thing: the tape. It is the first thing the customer touches and the last thing most stores brand.
Why it matters for Shopify stores
- You already pack the box. Branded tape costs nothing in time. It runs in the same tape gun on the same boxes.
- Repeat customers recognize it. The second box with your logo on the seal is the one that makes a store feel established.
- Cheaper than printed boxes. Custom boxes mean minimums of thousands. Custom tape makes a plain box look custom from 36 rolls.
What works on your boxes
Most Shopify stores ship a mix of box sizes, so pick one roll length and one design that works on all of them: a 1-color wordmark on clear or kraft-tone tape at 36 or 72 rolls, or white tape with a brand color from 72. The roll calculator turns your monthly orders and usual box size into a tier. Shopify stores also get the simplest reorder: "same again," same price, no setup.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| 300 orders a month | about 3 | 72 rolls, reorder when low |
| 1,000 orders a month | about 9 | 144 rolls (free print setup) |
| 4,000 orders a month | about 36 | volume program, 576 rolls and up |
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.
