Tape for Any Industry

While the top four industries that use the most adhesive tape are the automotive, construction, electronic, and household and appliance industries, many more rely on tape every day.

Different applications and industries require different adhesive tapes. Those in commercial and industrial sectors, along with those working on personal projects like party decorating and scrapbooking, can all rely on Tape Jungle to find exactly what tape solution they need.

ATG Tapes

Adhesive transfer gun tape is reverse-wound unsupported acrylic transfer tape dispensed from an adhesive transfer gun, also called an ATG dispenser. ATG dispensers ensure the ATG tape is applied in neat, straight lines, perfect for jobs that need linear application. ATG tape is double-sided and has great adhesion to lightweight materials like paper, most plastic films, metals, and foils. All of Tape Jungle's ATG tape is acid-free and resistant to sunlight.

Tape Jungle offers three types of ATG Tape:

  • Standard ATG Tape #56720
  • Professional ATG Tape #56722
  • Heavy-duty ATG Tape #56750

  • Scrapbooking

Double-sided tape is convenient and versatile and can come coated in many different materials like polyester, acrylic, cotton, synthetic rubber, and more. Tape Jungle has eight kinds of permanent and removable double-sided tapes suitable for numerous applications.

Double-sided tape can be used for both professional and personal jobs. Some common double-sided tape applications include:

Gaffer's Tape

Gaffer tape, also known as AV cord tape, is an adhesive tape made of heavy-duty cotton cloth. Gaffer tape can adhere to irregular surfaces and has superior water, vapor, and abrasive resistance. The best part? Tape Jungle gaffer tape is easy to remove and can be torn by hand.

Tape Jungle offers four kinds of gaffer tape: Standard, Premium, Standard Fluorescent, and Premium Fluorescent.

Our standard gaffer tape is our most popular cloth gaffer's tape. It is commonly used in the film, TV, photography, live music, and production industries to mark floors and stages and secure audio/visual cables and wires.

Standard gaffer tape comes in 11 different colors. While black gaffer tape is usually used to conceal secured items, our fluorescent gaffer tape is perfect for jobs that require high visibility. Black gaffer tape is good for brightly colored sets where black would stand out more than bright colors.

Our premium gaffer tap has a heavy-duty vinyl-coated waterproof cloth backing with excellent flexibility and is available in black, standard, and fluorescent colors. Its strength and excellent adhesion make it suitable for outdoor use and both high- and low-temperature applications.

Tape Jungle's gaffer tape selection is versatile and is used in the following applications:

  • Bookbinding
  • Bundling wire, metal, and plastic
  • Protecting electrical wire
  • Ensuring equipment like film canisters are protected from moisture and dust

Reflective and Safety Tape

Perhaps one of the fastest-growing tape markets in recent years, the reflective tape market is expected to be worth $6.8 billion by 2031. The demand for reflective tape comes from needs in energy infrastructure, auto components, electric vehicles, and industrial buildings.

Tape Jungle also carries commercial grade, high-intensity reflective tapes coated with a high tack permanent adhesive. These tapes are commonly used for marking zones and safety applications, as spike or glow tape in the entertainment industry, or for rugged outdoor use on road signs, emergency vehicles, automobiles, and trailers to improve visibility.

We offer nine kinds of reflective tape, including a full line of conspicuity tapes approved by the Department of Transportation. Reflective tape is estimated to prevent 7,800 automotive crashes each year, which saves up to 350 lives.

The aggressive adhesive used on our reflective tapes can adhere to virtually any surface; cars, trucks, signs, trailers — you name it. Tape Jungle's High-Intensity Retro Reflective Tape is unique because it reflects light only toward other light sources. If you shine a light on a sign with reflective tape, you will see the tape light up, while someone standing far away from you would only see a dim glow.

Another unique type of reflective tape we offer is Engineering Grade Retro Reflective Tape. This tape's bright, vivid colors stand out perfectly in lit environments and are highly visible in dark areas.

Tape Jungle also offers marine tape. Marine tape is waterproof, durable, and pressure sensitive and is suitable for applications on boats and docks.

Reflective tape has also grown in popularity over the past several years as businesses and public areas needed to mark social distancing zones on floors, walls, and other surfaces. Find out more about Tape Jungle's versatile line of reflective tapes here.

Custom-printed Tape

What really sets Tape Jungle apart is our custom-printed tape offering an easy-to-use design process. Whether you need custom tape for branding, decoration, or anything in between, Tape Jungle has you covered with our variety of custom-printed tape options. Custom-printed tape is a great way to make both business materials and personal touches stand out.

There are four levels of custom-printed tape materials to choose from: Standard, Premium, Paper, and Digital Printed Tape. Each type has multiple material options, ensuring Tape Jungle has something for any of your custom-printed tape needs.

Standard Custom-printed Tapes

  • Polypropylene (Poly Pro): A popular, versatile, and cost-effective packing solution that can be used anywhere from startup business shipping to industrial warehouse jobs. This tape has a glossy finish that is 85% to 90% opaque.
  • Custom duct tape: Durable, easy to use, and versatile, duct tape is a go-to option for custom printed tapes.
  • PVC tape: Tape Jungle's most common type of custom printed tape can be used for bundling and securing shipments, securing wires and cables, sealing boxes or containers, labeling products, and much more.

Premium Custom-printed Tapes

Tape Jungle's Premium Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a specialty material with a softer texture and more opaque appearance than our Standard Poly Pro. Premium PVC custom tape can be used for unique applications such as cold climates or irregular surfaces. This option has a flat finish that is 90% to 95% opaque.

Paper Custom-printed Tapes

Tape Jungle also offers water-activated paper adhesive solutions. This is another unique and customizable adhesive solution made of recycled material. When water is applied to the adhesive, the tape will bond to the fibers of almost any cardboard material, resulting in a professionally branded seal. This adhesive paper is 100% opaque with a matte finish.

Digital Custom-printed Tape

Digital Printed Tape is one of Tape Jungle's newest innovations, allowing you to print virtually any design onto your tape. Customers use Digital Printed Tapes to include custom designs, logos, images, and text on their tape. This tape is perfect for business and personal use. Customers commonly use Tape Jungle Digital Printed Tape for:

  • Business packaging and custom labels
  • Office supplies
  • Party favors
  • Gift boxes
  • Banners, posters, and streamers

Interactive Tape Customizer

Tape Jungle makes it easy to create your own custom-printed tape. With the Interactive Tape Customizer, you can design your tape in 3D and checkout in a matter of minutes.

Customizing your packing tape purchase takes a few simple steps:

  1. Pick your tape and the size you want
  2. Choose a design
  3. Select the quantity you need
  4. Review your order

Adding customization to your packages increases brand recognition and awareness, enhances customer experience, and increases your brand value.

Using custom-printed packing tape not only elevates your business and adds a standout touch to packages but also helps improve your professionalism with customers. Your package is the first thing your new customer will see when they receive their order, and customers notice the attention to detail.

Using custom-printed tape with your packages will also increase security and lower the chances of people tampering with your packages. More than one in 10 packages disappear without explanation every day in the U.S. This may be due to carrier error or theft. But either way, custom-printed packing tape makes your packages more identifiable and less likely to be tampered with. Opening and stealing from a box sealed with generic tape is easy to hide, but it is impossible to replace custom tape and make the package appear good as new.

In addition to enhancing your first impression with customers and helping secure your package safety, custom tape can simply make your packages easier to find and identify. Custom-printed tape on the box or envelope can help handlers find the package faster if it is lost in transit.

There are many benefits to using custom-printed tape, and Tape Jungle has made it easy to get started with your design.
