An editable vector logo is a good starting asset because it can be scaled without the blur typical of a small raster image. It is not an automatic print approval. The supplier still needs the intended color, layout, repeat direction, material and 48 mm or 60 mm tape width, and must confirm that the particular file is usable for production.
Prepare the asset package
- Send the original editable logo, not a screenshot taken from a website or a low-resolution email signature.
- Include any fonts or convert the text to outlines in a copy of the file, while preserving an editable master for your team.
- Provide named color references and note which elements may not be changed.
- State whether the logo repeats in one direction or alternates, and show a mock-up on the actual carton.
- Label the revision and name the person who can approve the final supplier proof.
Do not assume every vector extension is accepted. Ask BrandTapeCo which formats and proof process apply to the actual order, and confirm any limitations before converting the file. A PDF or image preview can communicate intent, but the supplier must tell you whether it is enough for production.
Check that the vector paths have not accidentally changed during export: missing letters, substituted fonts, clipped edges and altered color assignments can all survive into a proof. Keep the original file beside the exported copy so the designer can resolve a discrepancy without recreating the logo from a screenshot.
Review the proof at tape scale
At 48 mm or 60 mm width, a logo may lose very thin detail or small text even when the vector outline is technically sharp. Print or view the proof at actual size and lay it over the normal box seam. Check edge bends, labels and the shortest normal cut. If the mark needs simplification, approve a new revision rather than silently altering the supplied logo.
The logo readability guide addresses contrast and detail on kraft material. The repeat-pattern guide helps set spacing and direction.
Attach the file to a real order specification
BrandTapeCo custom tape is offered only in 48 mm and 60 mm widths, with 50 m standard online rolls and at least five rolls per design and color configuration. Other widths, including 72 mm, are unavailable. Nonstandard roll length needs sales feasibility review and separate written quotation and may not be possible. Check the current product configuration and keep the accepted proof with the final purchase order.
