Simba Jones - custom illustrated paper packing tape

Simba Jones is a British brand founded in 2010 and based in Malvern, Worcestershire. Their range centres on handcrafted, beaded leather goods for dogs and owners, including standard collars, whippet and hound collars, browbands, belts, and a selection of accessories and workshop seconds.

The brief

Simba Jones asked The Packaging Club for custom printed paper tape that would carry their distinctive dog breed illustrations onto their parcels. The artwork features beautifully rendered breeds in varied poses, with fine line work set on white paper to keep the look crisp and brand-true.

The solution

We prepared the artwork for high-fidelity paper tape print, controlling line weights, screening and contrast so the detail stayed sharp on uncoated paper. The result is recyclable and made from sustainably sourced materials, giving Simba Jones a packaging finish that aligns with their values and makes every order look polished and professional.

The result

The finished tape delivers an expert level of print detail. Fine lines, coat textures and small features hold cleanly across the repeat, and the illustrations read beautifully at arm’s length and up close. Parcels now ship with a cohesive brand feel that customers recognise the moment they see it.

“The illustrations look superb on the paper tape. The line work is pin-sharp, and it lifts the presentation of every parcel we send.”
