Water-Activated Kraft Paper Tape

Kraft paper adhesive tape (adhesive tape) is one of the most effective ways to pack cardboard boxes or kraft bags. It is made from  natural, biodegradable substances and so 100% environmentally friendly. This tape is insensitive to  cold, heat, light and  moisture and is particularly strong due to the organic bond between the cardboard and the  tape. This means that even an unauthorized opening no longer goes unnoticed.

Self-adhesive paper tapes rely on molecular attraction to adhere to surfaces. Gummed paper tape is activated by water. Wet glue soaks into the cardboard and  glues the tape to the box or bag. After drying in for a few minutes it is very difficult to remove.

One of the main attributes is the guarantee of the inviolability of the contents, avoiding the risk of theft and manipulation of the inside of the package. The tape can not be removed from the box without leaving any traces of damage. Adhesive paper tape has other qualities: it can withstand extreme conditions of weight, temperature and humidity.

Gummed paper   is biodegradable and meets the environmental requirements demanded by consumers.

Adhesive tapes are made of strong  kraft paper. For this reason, they are also known worldwide as water-activated tape (WAT) or adhesive paper tape. The water-activated adhesive used on the packaging tapes is a natural product consisting of a coating based on  potato starch, the adhesive effect of which is achieved by a simple and  sparing application of water. In the case of our reinforcing tapes for carton packaging, packaging tapes in form or in form of different layer configurations are superimposed either with multiple reinforcing threads or fiber reinforcement elements, or integrated into  adhesive tapes.


Close the packaging and  sustain your products in one move

Wet adhesive tape provides secure closure of cartons. Handling is easy even in dusty and dirty conditions. The water-activated tape is made from  natural kraft paper and starch-based glue. When the adhesive is activated by water, it penetrates the cardboard material and the tape forms a permanent bond with the carton.

The dispensers in our range allow the operator to select a "pre-determined length", ensuring there is virtually no waste, greatly reducing costs.

The paper tape is 100% recyclable, just like cardboard, and the uniform image gives the package a professional and  quality look.

They are also extremely strong and will retain the rigidity of the carton and sealing it for much longer than normal duct tape, they better protect the contents from damage and prevent tampering and theft . But the key factor —especially for users with large volumes is that water activated cardboard tape is cheaper than  regular tape .

Kraft paper tape (adhesive tape) has such a strong grip that one tape is enough to securely fasten two cardboard flaps. Examine any manual operation of sealing a box and you'll find that packers regularly apply multiple overlapping strips of plastic tape to ensure the seal holds, especially if the box is pre-used or made from  corrugated material of lower quality.

The actual amount of tape used in a carton doubles, triples, or even increases, and the time it takes to  apply the tape increases —for most businesses, time is also money.

And what about the hidden costs of contents damaged or lost due to cartons being peeled off? How much will it cost you in terms of goodwill?
