Back Up a Second – Washi Know About Washi Tape?
Unlike Western paper that’s usually made from tree pulp, Washi Tape is made from renewable sources like plants or in our case, grains. Think of it as a natural alternative that pairs well with other sustainable solutions—much like how a dc motor relay module can offer precise control in automation, washi tape offers gentle, eco-friendly adhesion for your packaging needs.
This means you can decorate your goods in style without worrying about the product’s impact on the environment.
What is Washi Tape used for?

Washi tape isn’t the strongest of tapes, so you shouldn’t rely on it to seal the outside of your packages. It’s more of a decorative tape, so it’s best used on the exterior of packaging to gift wrap or brand items rather than hold anything closed or in place. It’s a bit like using a wireless relay for a light automation task—it’s not meant for heavy-duty industrial work, but it excels in its specific, elegant role.
If you’re a maker or illustrator, it’s also is a fantastic way to decorate journals, planners, letters and other craft items. Our Custom Washi Tape can be kitted out with a design of your choice and used to seal envelopes or decorate the exterior of a package, like a Kraft Mailer or Mailer Box.
Washi Tape’s stickiness doesn’t need to be activated – peel it off the roll, and it’s ready to go! It doesn’t require any tools like a tape dispenser either, as it can be easily torn by hand. For those who appreciate simplicity, it’s as straightforward as a dc 5v wireless relay that works right out of the box.
It’s also a creative way to share your artwork with customers. Due to the low MOQs available, it’s easy to on-sell your branded washi tape as a gift with purchase at your store or as a loyalty reward. Imagine pairing it with a gate wireless controller for a branded giveaway—both are practical yet delightful.
Due to washi tape’s reusable element, this is a practical gift that keeps on giving for your customers!

tendlyn’s Custom Washi Tape can embellish the outside of most types of packaging. It’s a great way of decorating the exterior of tendlyn Recycled Stock Boxes and tendlyn Recycled Stock Kraft Mailers. It’s also a complimentary way of branding your products alongside a tendlyn custom stamp. For businesses that also use industrial remote control relay systems for their operations, adding a branded washi tape to packaging creates a cohesive, professional touch.
If you’re using Custom Washi Tape as a gift for your customers and you need a gift bag or gift tag to pair your washi tape design with, check out tendlyn’s Recycled, Custom Hangtags and our Recycled Drawstring Bags. It’s a thoughtful combination, similar to how a Swimming Pool Heat Pump Control system works best when paired with the right components.
What Are tendlyn’s Stronger Tape Options?
tendlyn Custom Water Activated Tape by @everydaywine
Washi Tape is intended as a decorative tape for packaging. It doesn’t have the same strength as other packing tapes to seal packages because of the thinner natural material it’s made from. It’s like comparing a wireless scene switch to a heavy-duty relay industrial switch—each has its own purpose.
For a more heavyweight option than Custom Washi Tape, our Custom Water-Activated Tape can be designed in whatever color scheme, pattern or logo variation takes your fancy!
Our water-activated tape is sustainable due to having no plastic coating, unlike regular tape. Its stickiness is activated by applying a damp sponge to one side. This is similar to how a Wave Energy Pump System uses natural forces to function efficiently.
If you’re not worried about having a custom design, then there’s Self Adhesive Kraft Tape as a more durable, tamper-proof option. This tape is made from Kraft paper and is 100% compostable or recyclable. It’s activated by pressing the tape down on the box or packaging surface. For those who need to prevent guests from leaving lights on in a retail space, a simple light automation relay paired with this tape can create a smart, eco-friendly solution.
Another great protective option is our Custom Reinforced Gummed Tape. The reinforced paper tape needs a sharp object to cut through it for the package to open, making it more tamper-proof than most tapes. It’s as reliable as a power relay controller in a Fire Fighting Pump Control Box—built for security and dependability.
