Benefits of Water-Activated Tape
Add Strength to Your Seal:
Water activated tapes are commonly printed on white or natural colored paper. With a strong adhesive, it creates a sturdy seal that will be held under a variety of packaging conditions. Reinforced tape options are available for packaging solutions for heavy products that require additional strength in their seals or box reinforcement.
Water-Activated Tape is great for a variety of harsh packaging environments (Dusty, Dirty, Cold, Hot).
Increase Corrugated Box Security:
Water-activated tape forms a tight seal on your boxes that shows clear tamper evidence if the case is opened. Commonly referred to as a destructive seal, water-activated tape will permanently bond with corrugated material. Any attempt to remove the tape or open the box will leave direct evidence of tampering.
Gummed tape is an excellent option for product branding during shipping. With paper based backing water-activated tape is customizable. Add a splash of company color or even full logo prints to your boxes.
Customize Tape Usage:
Water-activated tape packaging machines will measure out, cut, and wet the exact amount of tape you need for your cartons consistently. With handy tape length settings, a water-activated tape dispenser makes sure you use the right amount of tape for each box sealed.
Water-Activated Tape Dispensers Reduce Strain
A water-activated tape dispenser will measure, wet, and cut each piece of tape you apply. This eliminates the strain of repetitively using a hand-held tape dispenser. Handheld tape dispensers can be a common source for repetitive motion injury to the wrist or forearm.
Automatic Water-Activated Tape Dispensers:
Electric water-activated tape dispensers are an ideal choice for medium-to high-volume packaging operations or sealing random sized cartons. These tape machines are fast and efficient tape dispensing options for packaging solutions packing over fifty packages per day. Automatic WAT dispensers are available with a variety of features.
Manual Water-Activated Tape Dispensers:
Manual Water-Activated Tape Dispensers can be easily integrated to any packaging station and require little to no operator training. Manual water-activated tape dispensers require no electricity and are portable. These machines are perfect for packaging solutions that do not always have access to power and are packaging under fifty cartons a day.
