Product FAQs:

What is water-activated gummed paper tape?

Water-activated gummed paper tape (WAT) is a type of packaging tape that requires water to activate the adhesive. Once activated, it creates a strong, permanent bond with cardboard boxes, making it ideal for sealing parcels.

How does reinforced gummed paper tape differ from standard tape?

Reinforced gummed paper tape includes fibreglass strands for added strength and durability, making it more resistant to tearing and ideal for heavier or more valuable shipments. Unlike standard plastic tapes, it also provides a tamper-evident seal.

How do I use this tape and can I use this tape without a dispenser?

To use, simply moisten the adhesive side of the tape with water. This can be done using a sponge or a cloth. Once wet, apply the tape to your cardboard box for an instant, secure seal.

However, for high-volume operations, we recommend using a water-activated tape dispenser for efficiency.

Is this tape suitable for all packaging environments?

Yes, reinforced water-activated gummed paper tape is designed to perform well in a variety of conditions, including environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. It’s ideal for e-commerce shipping, warehousing, and long-term storage.
