BOPP Packing Tape Printing Ink — Chemi Series | Bangladesh

Machine Specification

Where printed BOPP tape is used

Custom-printed packing tape has grown from a nice-to-have to a standard in Bangladesh’s RMG export and e-commerce shipping sectors. Branded tape on export cartons signals quality and provides visible authentication at the destination warehouse; branded tape on e-commerce shipments is a low-cost marketing surface every buyer notices. Warning-mark tape (fragile, this side up, handle with care) has become a compliance requirement for many buyer contracts.

This ink is specifically formulated for the BOPP tape substrate — the smooth coated outer surface plus the acrylic adhesive underside. It adheres cleanly to the BOPP tape face without transferring to the adhesive layer during roll winding, gives sharp graphic reproduction at typical BOPP tape print speeds, and survives normal shipping-carton handling without smudging.

Applications

The primary customers are BOPP tape converters serving RMG export packaging (custom brand-name tape for export shipping cartons — a requirement for many named-buyer contracts), e-commerce logistics (branded tape for Daraz, Foodpanda, marketplace fulfilment operations), corporate branded tape for regular shipping accounts, and warning-mark and safety-instruction tape for pharma, electronics and fragile-goods logistics.

For BOPP tape converters expanding from plain tape into printed custom tape, this ink is one part of the setup along with a flexographic tape-printing head added to the existing tape production line. Prominent Tec supplies the ink and can advise on the printing-line addition where useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the ink transfer to the adhesive side during roll winding?

No — the ink is formulated specifically to bond to the BOPP outer surface without migrating to the acrylic adhesive layer during winding or storage. This is the critical property that separates BOPP tape ink from generic BOPP printing ink.

What colour print quality is realistic on BOPP tape?

Solid colours, text, logos and simple graphics reproduce cleanly. Fine photographic detail is harder on BOPP tape due to the narrow print band and typical tape substrate quality — for photographic branding, consider printed labels instead.

Is it food-contact compliant?

BOPP tape is applied to the outside of a sealed carton — no direct food contact. Standard indirect-contact compliance applies where relevant.

What container sizes are stocked?

Standard 25kg drums; bulk drums on order for high-volume tape converters. Local Dhaka stock for common colours.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom brand colours?

Typical MOQ is one 25kg drum per custom brand colour. Ask our sales team for a specific quote once you know the brand colour reference (PMS or spec).

What is the delivery time in Bangladesh?

Standard colours ship within 3–7 days from Dhaka. Custom brand-specification colours from Chemicoat take 30–45 days.
