Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Fast Printed Tape Sample Pack contain?

Four mini rolls of our custom printed water activated gummed tape, one of every tape we print: standard brown kraft, reinforced brown kraft, standard white and reinforced white.

Is the sample tape printed with my own logo?

No. Every roll in the pack is pre-printed with example designs so you can judge the print quality and finish. To see your own design, simply order a single roll of our Customised Printed Water Activated Gummed Tape - there is no minimum order and no setup cost.

Why order a tape sample pack before buying custom printed tape?

It lets you see full-colour digital print on gummed paper, feel the difference between standard and reinforced tape, and check brown or white against your own boxes before you place a full order.

How much does the tape sample pack cost?

The samples themselves are free - you just pay £4.95 towards postage.

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. The sample pack lets you compare both side by side.

Is the sample tape the same as a full roll?

Yes, it is the same 48mm wide water activated gummed paper tape, just on smaller rolls. Full rolls are 48mm x 50m, with your design printed at up to 40mm high and repeating along the tape.

Is there a minimum order or setup fee on printed tape?

No. Our printed tape has no minimum order, no setup costs and no stereo charges, so you can order a single roll. Order 12 or more rolls and you also receive a free tape dispenser (limited to one per customer, with an active online account, claimed at checkout).

Has your custom printed tape won any awards?

Yes. Our full-colour printed gummed tape was named Innovation of the Year at the Printweek Awards 2026.

Very efficient and incredibly quick service From me receiving a phone call to offer a bit of help to set up the artwork to delivery of our smart paper bags for our charity golf day took just 25 hours! Brilliant!

First time using this company. Excellent and efficient local service. Very happy with my product, produced within a day. No call waiting and staff were extremely helpful. Will be using them again.

Paul Buck

I've had good dealings with everyone I have dealt with at Parcelsend and I look forward to using there service for the foreseeable future. Much easier to deal with than the competitors I spoke to and very reasonably priced. This is the type of business I like to work with.

Robert Wright

Supremely helpful on the phone, excellent product, well packaged and protected. Sent ParcelForce, not Yodel,… essentially, the only reason it isn’t a six star review,.. there just aren’t that many stars! Thanks so much 🙏
