Using Colored Packaging Tape

Colored packaging tape is an overlooked method to color-code your products for identification and sorting. Used as an alternative to custom-made labels, adhesive packing tape is a convenient and very economical solution.

Colored tape is a great way to identify your boxes of products and categorize them into groups. This is used to separate products for QA, stock take, and quarantine purposes to ensure they don’t get mistaken for other loads.

Color coding is used widely in the food and medicine industry. This allows you to mark the packaging or item with a particular color which reflects the nature of the category of the product.

This enables items to be treated in a necessary way based on parameters such as fragility, storage temperature and shelf life. Colored tape is used by processors and restaurants to separate meat and non-vegetarian food. These types of food are often coded with a red color. Vegetarian items are often marked with green and frozen food with blue. Color-based segregation not only prevents cross-contamination but also showcases professionalism and organization.

The use of colored tape helps in identifying whether a package has been tampered with. This ensures the security of your load. If a carton is sealed with colored tape and that box is cut open, it makes it easier to identify as it would have been resealed in another color tape.

Colored packing tape is often used for branding. Businesses can you their company color for sealing their cartons. Usage of a particular color helps their products stand out and makes it easy for identification.

Custom Printed Packaging Tape is a great branding and marketing tool. Print your company logo and brand message to display on your products and packaging.
