Reasons to Choose Reinforced Gummed Paper Tape (WAT)

Water activated paper tape is much stronger than standard plastic packing tape. Once applied, it creates a “bond” with the carton, making the entire package stronger and more secure. Better product protection means less damage, cutting down costs associated with replacing broken or lost products.

Tamper-evidence: Gummed paper tape is an excellent tamper evident solution. Once removed from a box, it cannot be resealed, making it obvious if someone has tampered with the package.

Temperature Tolerance: Tolerance to temperature fluctuations is another great advantage of gummed paper tape. This is ideal if you need to ship or store your cartons in humid or freezing conditions.

Smart Presentation: Standard adhesive tape is not the most attractive way of sealing cartons, as it can require overlapping strips which can look messy. Packages sealed with paper tape look neat and professional, positively reflecting on both your product and your brand. They are also easy to print on, which is a great, low-cost opportunity to promote your brand by adding a logo or personalized message to your shipments.

Environment: Gummed paper tape is biodegradable and 100% recyclable, which makes it a perfect environmentally friendly alternative to standard packing tape.

Boosts Packing Speed and Productivity: Gummed paper tape can be applied using a Phoenix WAT dispenser that automatically moistens, cuts and dispenses the exact length of tape required, streamlining the taping process. This automation significantly reduces packing time by eliminating manual steps and guesswork, allowing packers to work faster and more efficiently. The result is a noticeable increase in output per shift, helping you meet demand without increasing labor costs.

All of our paper tapes are available in a kraft and white and available in different roll lengths and case pack.
