Kraft Tape

Selection Expert Advice

Standard vs Reinforced Gummed Tape
MORE INFO
Standard gummed tape without reinforcement provides excellent adhesion for most standard corrugated boxes and is the most economical water-activated option. Reinforced gummed tape with fiberglass strands adds significant tensile strength and resistance to tearing, making it the right choice for heavy boxes, irregular loads, and high-value shipments.
Tape Moisteners and Dispensers
MORE INFO
Water-activated tape requires a moistener to activate the starch adhesive before application. Manual sponge moisteners work for low-volume operations. Electric tape dispensers activate, cut, and dispense tape in a single motion, significantly speeding up packing on higher-volume lines and ensuring consistent activation across every piece of tape.
Tamper Evidence Benefits of Water Activated Tape
MORE INFO
Unlike pressure-sensitive tape that can be carefully removed and reapplied, gummed tape bonds into the corrugated surface fibers during drying. Any attempt to open a gummed-tape-sealed box leaves permanent visible damage to the tape and box surface, providing clear tamper evidence for the recipient and adding a meaningful security benefit to every shipment.
Overview

Water-activated kraft tape, also known as gummed tape, creates one of the strongest and most tamper-evident seals of any carton closure method, bonding chemically with the corrugated surface to create a bond that cannot be removed without visibly damaging the box. This collection covers unprinted and printed water-activated tape in both standard and reinforced formats, along with the moisteners and dispensers that activate the tape efficiently in manual and semi-automated packing operations. Reinforced gummed tape with glass fiber strands in the paper backing provides exceptional tensile strength for heavy or high-value shipments where the closure must hold under maximum stress. The high tamper-evidence of water-activated tape makes it the standard for high-security, high-value, and fraud-sensitive shipments where any unauthorized opening of the package needs to be immediately and permanently visible to the recipient or carrier.
