Colour does more than catch the eye — it defines your brand’s identity. Whether you want to create bold packaging that stands out or keep your branding consistent across every parcel, custom printed tape is one of the most effective ways to do it.
At Custom Tape, we help businesses use colour intelligently through high-quality printing plates, precision Pantone matching, and expert design support.
Why Printing Plates Make a Difference
Printing plates ensure accuracy and consistency across every batch. They help achieve:
High-precision printing for sharp, professional results
Lower costs on large volume orders
Faster turnaround times
Pantone colour matching for brand accuracy
Consistent reprints that look identical every time
Our printing process supports up to three colours per design, allowing brands to balance impact with practicality — perfect for logos, slogans, or key visuals.
To guarantee consistent colour reproduction across every roll, we follow Pantone’s official colour matching system — the global print standard for achieving precise brand colours.
When Colour Meets Creativity
Even though printing plates have limitations on colour quantity, our design team works with clients to maximise impact. Sometimes that means adjusting shades for contrast, simplifying elements for print clarity, or combining finishes for extra vibrancy.
The goal is always the same: to help your packaging reflect your brand in its entirety, no matter the challenge.
Case Study: Metcoat’s Multi-Colour Branding Challenge
When Metcoat, a UK powder-coating and shot-blasting company, approached us, they needed custom printed tape that could match their colourful logo — a real test for precision printing.
After explaining the technical restrictions and possibilities, our design team created an artwork layout that stayed true to their vibrant brand while meeting all production standards.
Once approved, the results spoke for themselves.
“Custom Tape were very highly recommended to us by another customer,” says Lisa Bentley, Metcoat. “Our logo has multiple colours, which we thought might be a problem. One of the designers went out of her way to make sure we didn’t have any issues. The final tape looked fantastic — and the quality is exceptional.”
Metcoat use a lot of packaging in their operations, and adding custom tape has turned every parcel into an advert for their business.
“It made sense for us to promote our company while packaging goods. The design was spot-on, and using the gun dispenser has even saved time for our packing team.”
The outcome? Increased visibility and more customer enquiries.
“We’ve had new clients approach us after seeing our tape in use on job sites. We’ll definitely continue using Custom Tape for years to come.”
Consistent Colour = Consistent Brand Identity
Using consistent colours across every touchpoint — from boxes to labels — builds familiarity and trust. Coloured packaging tape ensures that your brand is recognised instantly, even before the parcel is opened.
When combined with Pantone-matched inks and professional printing plates, it’s a simple way to guarantee visual consistency and elevate your packaging.
