Low Minimum Order Quantities
Low Minimum Order Quantities
Because we use an on-demand, instant digital full-colour print system, we’re able to offer some of the lowest minimum order quantities in the UK - perfect for small runs or custom projects.
Please note: a one-time low-volume set-up fee of £49.95 applies to any order under £100. This is added automatically at checkout, but it won’t apply to repeat orders of the same product as long as the artwork remains unchanged.

RISK FREE Guarantee
100% Risk-Free Satisfaction Guarantee - We want you to feel totally confident when ordering with us.

If you’d like to check our quality first, you can order a sample directly from the product page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size and colours is the custom printed gummed tape available in?
Each roll measures 48mm wide x 50m long and is available in natural brown kraft or white paper, in either standard or reinforced strength.
What is the difference between standard and reinforced gummed tape?
Standard tape is made from strong, high-quality gummed paper for reliable everyday sealing. Reinforced tape has strengthening fibres built into the paper for extra security on heavier cartons and higher-value shipments.
Why choose water activated tape over self-adhesive plastic tape?
Once moistened, water activated tape bonds into the fibres of the cardboard, creating a strong, permanent seal that tears the carton if tampered with, so any interference is clearly visible. It performs well in varying temperatures and is paper-based, so it can be recycled along with the box.
Has your custom printed tape won any awards?
Yes. Our full-colour printed tape was named Innovation of the Year at the Printweek Awards 2026. The judges described it as a UK first that identified and filled a huge gap in the market, turning tape from a basic packaging product into a powerful branding tool.
Is there a minimum order or any setup costs?
No. You can order from a single roll, with no setup costs, plate fees or stereo charges. The price per roll reduces as you order more, with price breaks from 4 rolls and further savings at 8, 12, 20, 32 and 40 rolls.
How will my design be printed on the tape?
Your artwork is printed in full-colour digital print at a maximum height of 40mm and repeats along the tape with a 10-13cm gap between each repeat. Approximately 49m of each roll is printed, with the last metre left blank, and print position tolerance is ±2mm.
Will I see a proof before my tape is printed?
Yes. We send a free digital proof of your tape for you to approve before we go into full production. If you have any trouble uploading artwork, place your order and email info@parcelsend.uk and we will guide you through the proofing process.
Do I get a free tape dispenser?
Yes. When you order 12 or more rolls you receive one of our tape dispensers free of charge, designed specifically for our tapes. This is limited to one per customer and you need an active online account to claim it at checkout.
Where is the tape printed and how quickly will it arrive?
Every roll is printed in-house in the UK and never outsourced, which gives us full control over quality and speed. Orders can be printed and delivered in as little as a few days.
