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.
