New York brands pack in small spaces and ship a lot from them. Branded tape takes no shelf room that plain tape does not already take, and it is the cheapest way to make a plain box from a Brooklyn studio look like it came from a brand.
Why it matters for New York City businesses
- Across the river, not across the country. Parcelry is in Clifton, NJ, thirty minutes from Manhattan. We meet NYC businesses in person with the mockup and a tape gun.
- Makers, DTC brands and studios. Brooklyn candle makers, Manhattan skincare lines, Queens food brands: the same free proof and the same 36-roll minimum.
- No storage problem. A 36 or 72 roll order fits on one shelf. Larger programs can be delivered in drops so you never store a year of tape.
What works on your boxes
NYC shippers tend to use smaller boxes and a lot of single-strip sealing, so a 110 yd roll goes a long way and 36 to 72 rolls covers most studios for a year. A 1-color wordmark on clear or kraft-tone tape is the economical standard; white or black film from 72 rolls. For brands past a few thousand orders a month, scheduled deliveries from a volume program keep the tape out of your limited space.
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 2 | 72 rolls, reorder when low |
| 1,500 orders a month | about 11 | 144 rolls (free print setup) |
| 6,000 orders a month | about 43 | 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.
