Is it possible to colour an entire tape?
Is it possible to colour an entire tape? This is the question those who, when it comes to adhesive tape customization, will not settle for the minimum. Sometimes, it is really rewarding to go full steam ahead on the exact and complete customization of the packaging, to make them immediately recognizable and memorable.
Just think, for example, of packaging tape used by Amazon: we would recognize a package sent by Jeff Bezos’ e-commerce from very far away.
Those who wish to give visibility to their brand, who want to have a strong brand identity, who are intent on retaining their audience, who wish to show a highly professional appearance for their company: in all these cases, ordering online customization for one’s adhesive tape is practically mandatory.
Sometimes, however, it is not enough to ask for your logo to be printed on double-sided adhesive tape with a standard background. Sometimes, it is necessary to do even more, to ask for a custom colour background, so as to perfectly centre your brand’s colours.
Hence the question: is it possible to colour a roll of tape entirely? The answer is yes: let’s see how that works.
Customizing adhesive tape on Adhesivetapes.eu
Before analysing how to completely colour a custom adhesive tape, let’s quickly go over what the steps for the adhesive tape customization printing process found on our B2B e-commerce are.
First of all, it is necessary to make a choice: you can pick between paper, PPL, and PVC tape, high performance or normal, of many different sizes. You can then choose the number of colours found in the custom print, as well as specify the number of rolls required.
At this point, you’ll be able to confirm the order and make the payment, to set off the production and shipping process. Once the order is placed, you can enter your personal area to upload the background colour, as well as the writing, the logo, and the images to be printed (it is also possible to send us everything via e-mail).
In the following 24 hours you will receive, directly from our technicians, a graphic draft of your personalized double-sided adhesive tape: you can request all the corrections needed via email or phone, so as to agree on a final draft. From that moment on, production scheduling begins, with the creation of the printing cliché and so on: in about three weeks, the printing phase will be completed, and the goods will be shipped.
The background colour of custom adhesive tape
To ensure a fast and convenient printing of their customized adhesive tapes, we offer our customers a wide range of pre-coloured adhesive tape, ready to be customized directly with the images sent by them. But, as we all know, there are many shades to be considered.
Think for example of blue, present in the logos of Ikea, Samsung, HP, Visa, Intel, Allianz and so on: these are all different shades!
This is why a company that is not able to find the exact colour of its brand in our standard range may require the background customization.
That is no issue: the customer will just need to let us know the Pantone code of the chosen colour, and we will proceed with the customization of the background, as well as the images and writings, on the custom double sided adhesive tape.
Custom background colour: how do you print the chosen colour?
How do we make adhesive tapes with custom coloured background?
Everything is made with the Sandwich printing technique, which, as it is known in the industry, has the peculiarity of printing and customizing industrial double-sided adhesive tape not on the top and outside part of the support, but rather on the inside and at the bottom.
This has the advantage of ensuring a great print resistance, which does not erase later due to friction (as could happen with classic Siat printing).
And the same protection also applies to the colour chosen for the background, especially since the shade is not made via a printing process, but instead given by the glue used itself: it is the double-sided adhesive that is coloured, not the support, which is instead perfectly transparent.
