Custom Self Adhesive Kraft Tape – Advanced Printing: Spot Colors, CMYK, Foil

More Than Basic Printing

Most custom tape stops at one or two colors. Simple logos. Basic text.

Your brand may need more.

Our custom printed self adhesive kraft tape brings commercial-grade printing to packaging. Spot colors match your exact brand. CMYK process handles photos and gradients. Hot stamping adds metallic effects that stand out.

This is packaging tape with real printing capability.

Three Ways to Print

Spot Colors (Up to 6)
Each color prints separately. Good for logos and designs where exact color matters. Pantone matching available. Clean results on kraft paper.

CMYK Process
Full color using cyan, magenta, yellow, black. Handles photographs, gradients, complex artwork. Reproduces nearly any color in one pass.

Hot Stamping
Metallic foil applied with heat and pressure. Gold, silver, copper, holographic options. Creates raised, reflective finish that catches light.

Common Questions

Spot color vs. CMYK: what's the difference?
Spot color uses pre-mixed ink for exact color matching. CMYK mixes four inks to create full color images. Spot gives precision. CMYK gives photographic range.

Can you match my brand color exactly?
Yes. Provide Pantone numbers for spot color. For CMYK, we match to digital proofs as closely as possible.

How many colors can I print?
Up to 6 spot colors. Full CMYK counts as one. Hot stamping adds metallic options separately.

What foil colors are available?
Gold and silver are standard. Copper, rose gold, holographic, and custom foil available on larger orders.

What's the minimum order for foil?
Higher than standard printing due to tooling. Contact for your specific quantity.

Can I combine foil with printed colors?
Yes. Hot stamping works alongside spot color or CMYK. Takes extra setup but creates premium results.

How long does production take?
3-4 weeks for multi-color or foil jobs. Simpler 1-2 color printing runs faster.

What file format should I send?
AI or PDF. 

Will I see a proof?
Yes. Digital proofs for all orders. Physical proofs available for complex or high-quantity jobs.
