More Information
Description
Water-Activated Paper Tape (WAT) or Gummed paper tape is a decade old product that is once again made relevant due to recyclability / composability. The tape is available in single layer paper or two layer paper with fibre glass reinforcement. Once applied, the tape bonds with the surface permanently making them tamper-evident. The tape does not get affected by dirt, dust, oil or extreme temperature environments.
It is recommended to use this product with a dispenser.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Water Activated Paper Tape?
Water Activated Paper Tape (also known as gummed paper tape or kraft paper tape) is a packaging tape coated with a natural starch-based adhesive. When activated with water, it forms a strong, permanent bond with corrugated cardboard, creating a secure and tamper-evident seal.
2. What are the benefits of Water Activated Paper Tape?
Water Activated Paper Tape offers several advantages:
- Creates a strong, permanent bond with cardboard
- Provides a tamper-evident seal
- Made from kraft paper with a natural starch adhesive
- Highly recyclable and compostable
- Performs well in dusty, oily, and varying temperature conditions
- Gives parcels a clean, professional appearance.
3. What are the dimensions of this product?
This pack contains 4 rolls, each measuring 70 mm wide and 50 metres long, making it suitable for sealing medium to large cartons.
4. How do I use Water Activated Paper Tape?
Cut the required length of tape and apply water evenly to the adhesive side using a sponge, brush, or water-activated tape dispenser. Place the tape over the carton seam and press firmly. The adhesive bonds with the cardboard as it dries, usually within a couple of minutes.
5. Do I need a special dispenser?
A water-activated tape dispenser provides the quickest and most consistent application, especially for businesses with high packing volumes. For occasional use, a damp sponge or paintbrush can also be used effectively.
6. Is this tape recyclable?
Yes. The kraft paper backing and starch-based adhesive make the tape recyclable along with most cardboard boxes, eliminating the need to remove plastic tape before recycling.
7. Is Water Activated Paper Tape biodegradable?
Yes. The tape is made from kraft paper and a natural starch-based adhesive, making it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic packaging tapes.
8. Is the tape tamper-evident?
Yes. Once the adhesive bonds with the cardboard, the tape cannot be removed cleanly. Any attempt to open the package damages the tape and often the carton surface, making tampering clearly visible.
9. What surfaces does this tape work best on?
Water Activated Paper Tape is specifically designed for corrugated cardboard, kraft paper, and paper-based packaging materials. It is not recommended for plastic, glossy, wax-coated, or non-porous surfaces.
10. Can it be used for e-commerce shipping?
Absolutely. It is ideal for e-commerce businesses, warehouses, manufacturers, and fulfilment centres that need secure carton sealing while reducing plastic packaging waste.
11. Is it stronger than regular plastic packing tape?
When applied correctly, Water Activated Paper Tape forms a bond with the cardboard fibres instead of simply sticking to the surface. This creates a stronger, more secure seal that is difficult to remove without damaging the box.
12. Does it work in hot or cold weather?
Yes. Once applied and dried, the tape performs well in a variety of environmental conditions and is resistant to dirt, dust, oil, and temperature fluctuations commonly encountered during shipping and storage.
13. Can I print my logo on Water Activated Tape?
Yes. Water Activated Paper Tape can be custom printed with company logos, branding, or messaging for businesses looking to enhance their packaging presentation. (This particular product is the plain brown version.)
14. How should I store the tape?
Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from moisture and humidity. Keeping the rolls dry helps maintain the adhesive until you're ready to activate it with water.
15. Why choose Water Activated Paper Tape over plastic tape?
Water Activated Paper Tape offers a more sustainable packaging solution by reducing plastic waste while providing excellent carton security. Its permanent bond, tamper-evident seal, recyclability, and professional appearance make it a preferred choice for eco-conscious businesses and online sellers.
