What makes the Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape eco-friendly?
Your personalized Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape is made from 100% recycled acid-free paper that's certified by the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC), so you can be confident that it's sourced from a responsibly and sustainably managed forest and supply chain. On top of that, we use soy-based inks, water-activated adhesive, and fiberglass thread reinforcement to ensure your tape is equally reliable and recyclable!
What sizes are available for the Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape?
Our Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape comes in 2 different widths with the same generous length:
- 50mm x 50m (2" x 164ft)
- 72mm x 50m (3" x 164ft)
The core ring that the tape is wrapped around has a diameter of 50mm.
P.S. If you're looking to take your personalized eco-friendly adhesive to a smaller scale, check out our noissue Washi Tape!
How thick is the Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape?
The paper weight of the Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape differs depending on the base material you choose:
- White base: 100gsm

How strong is the Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape?
The fiberglass thread on our Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape makes it extra strong - it has a tensile strength of 31N/cm²!
Keep in mind that water-activated tape works best on cardboard or paper products such as kraft mailers/envelopes, plain cardboard boxes, paper bags, etc. If the material you're trying to tape has a coating or is made up of a different material, your tape may not adhere as strongly.
How is the Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape printed?
Our Custom Reinforced Gummed Packing Tape is customized via offset printing with soy-based inks in CMYK colors. This means you can use as many colors as you'd like for your tape design without worrying about any toxic inks. Choose between 2 bases:
- White
- Kraft
Double-sided printing is not available for this tape, but 1 side is all you'll need for beautiful branding!
