What to Include in Your Custom Tape Artwork for Best Results
Prepare artwork that prints perfectly on custom tape first time.
File requirements
Quick answer
Supply your logo as a vector file (AI/EPS/PDF) with Pantone colour references. Design within your supplier's tape template showing the repeat length and print area. Keep the design simple: logo plus one brand colour is most effective. Ensure strong contrast between ink and tape base. Avoid fine detail smaller than 1mm which may not reproduce cleanly on tape surfaces.
