Water Activated Tape

Clean professional packaging that makes recycling easier - no need to separate the paper tape from the cardboard box.

Water activated tape, also known as gummed tape, is a sustainable packaging solution made from renewable materials. Activated by water, its starch-based adhesive creates a strong, permanent bond with the carton, ensuring a secure seal. 

Unlike traditional pressure sensitive tape, it provides tamper evident closure because it forms a strong bond with the surface it is applied to, that when removed leaves evidence of tampering.

Available in various sizes and strengths, water activated tape is an eco-friendly and reliable choice for business seeking enhanced security and sustainability in their packaging.

Water activated tape (also known as gummed tape) offers a clean, professional packaging solution that simplifies the recycling process. There's no need to separate the tape from the cardboard, making the disposal of packaging more efficient and sustainable.

Reduce: Water activated tape is made from renewable resources such as paper and starch-based adhesives, reducing the reliance on traditional plastic-based packaging tapes. 

Reuse: Creates a strong, tamper evident seal, which protects packages from damage or tampering during transit. This reduces the need for additional layers of plastic wrapping or extra materials to secure the shipment.

Recycle: One of the key benefits of water-activated tape is its recyclability. Since it's made from paper and starch, it can be recycled along with the cardboard box, simplifying the recycling process. This eliminates the need to separate plastic tapes from packaging, which often leads to contamination in recycling streams.
