Why use Gummed Reinforced Paper Tape?

If you’re looking to secure packages securely gummed paper tape is an excellent choice for any packaging operation. Gummed paper tape also known as water-activated tape requires water to activate the adhesive. The tape comes in rolls with a dry adhesive on one side. The adhesive then needs moisture to activate the adhesive and create a strong bond with the carton or package. This can be done with WAT tape dispenser equipped with a water reservoir. WAT Tape Dispensers really take the strain out of sealing and speed up the packing process.

Strength: Much stronger than standard packing tape, gummed paper tape is suitable for sealing cartons. Once applied, it creates a “bond” with your box, making the entire carton 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 your carton.

Temperature Tolerance: 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 plastic packing tape.

Speed and Productivity: Gummed paper tape can be applied using a dispenser that automatically moistens, cuts, and dispenses the exact length of tape required, streamlining the taping process. This 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.
