How much does custom printed packing tape cost? In this completed StickBond order, 360 rolls of 48 mm x 50 m tape were priced at US$1.10 per roll. That equals a US$396 tape subtotal and 18,000 metres of tape. Production was completed in 7 days.
This ELFOSS.IS example pairs the artwork proof with a photograph of the finished tape on a carton. The customer has agreed to the use of these images. It is a specific order reference, not a price promise for every design.

From artwork proof to finished packing tape
Artwork proof showing tape width and print-repeat dimensions.
The proof specifies a 48 mm tape width and a 350 mm printing-plate circumference. Two copies of the design appear within that layout, with a 175 mm repeat interval. The lettering height is marked as 18 mm. These artwork dimensions describe the print layout: the 350 mm figure is not the tape length supplied on each roll, which was 50 m.
Finished tape on a carton, photographed for this order.
The finished photograph shows the red-and-white design applied to a brown carton. It lets a buyer judge the lettering, contrast and repeated branding in a real packaging setting. It does not establish adhesion test results, a precise colour match under all lighting, or transport performance.
Compare the price per metre, not just per roll
For this 50 m roll, US$1.10 divided by 50 gives US$0.022 per metre, equivalent to US$2.20 per 100 m. This is a comparison calculation, not an offer for a different roll size. A lower-priced roll may contain less tape, so matching roll length is essential when reviewing quotes.
Also match width, material, thickness, adhesive specification, print coverage and quantity. The photos alone do not confirm all of these specifications. Ask for them in writing rather than assuming two similar-looking tapes are identical.
What can change a custom tape quotation?
- Logo colours and print coverage: Supply the artwork so the supplier can confirm the production method and chargeable print colours. A red-and-white appearance alone does not establish the ink count.
- Roll length and width: More tape per roll changes the material requirement. Compare both the roll price and the price for an equivalent length.
- Order quantity: Setup costs are spread across the order. Request a separate quote if you need more or fewer than 360 rolls.
- Delivery and setup: Ask whether plate charges, freight and taxes are included, and request a clear delivered-cost breakdown.

What does seven-day production mean?
Seven days is the reported production time for this completed order. It is not a promise of delivery within seven days. Artwork approval, shipping and customs can affect the overall schedule. For a new project, confirm the production start conditions, current lead time and transport estimate before committing to a launch date.
