Tape Jungle

What Tape Jungle does

Tape Jungle is a Miami, Florida-based e-commerce distributor that designs, manufactures, and sells more than 300 SKUs of adhesive tapes and packaging supplies across categories including ATG and double-sided tape, gaffers, duct, vinyl, masking, reflective, floor marking, and custom printed tape. The company operates a BigCommerce-hosted direct-to-consumer storefront with no minimum order, ships nationwide to the US and Canada, fulfills military and government orders worldwide via CAGE code 6SNJ2, and supports local pickup from its Miami warehouse. Underlying technology is light: an interactive 3D Custom Tape Design Tool enables self-serve design and preview of branded packaging tape, while most SKUs are sourced from or co-distributed with brand partners including Alanson Products (parent operator), Avery Dennison, Cellux (AmTape), Oralite/Reflexite, SafetyTac, Excel, and Talon Tape.

The business model is DTC e-commerce with one-time transactional revenue: standard tape SKUs are priced by roll/subpack/case with bulk discounts (e.g., ATG tape from $31 per roll, gaffer tape from $4 per roll), and custom printed tape carries a setup fee plus per-order pricing starting at $275 for PolyPro, $440 for PVC, and $605 for water-activated paper, with volume pricing as low as $0.03-$0.05 per linear yard at pallet quantities. Customer acquisition is primarily organic via SEO, content marketing, and an email newsletter with a 5% discount hook, supplemented by phone and live chat support. The named customer base is split between a long tail of SMB and individual buyers across horizontal segments — warehouses and distribution, entertainment/AV, construction/contractors, crafts/scrapbooking, e-commerce branding, and transportation/automotive — and a thin layer of marquee custom-tape enterprise logos including Marriott, Budweiser, Bud Light, Mitsubishi, Blue Apron, Awake, AskDerm, and Revair.

Custom Printed Tape is their signature service, offering three material types: PolyPro (Standard Polypropylene - most popular, cost-effective), PVC (Premium Polyvinyl Chloride - upmarket brands), and Water Activated Paper (recyclable, tamper-evident). Beyond custom offerings, they stock core tape categories including ATG & Double Sided Tape, Gaffers Tape (Standard and Premium Cloth grades), Reflective Tape (Engineering, High Intensity, DOT-C2), Floor Marking Tape, Duct Tape (multiple grades), Vinyl Tape, Masking Tape (including new AmTape by Cellux line), and 40+ additional specialized tape categories. The company positions itself as a one-stop superstore serving diverse industries including automotive, garment, aeronautical, entertainment, scrapbooking, and general industrial applications.
