What Is Standard Grade Water Activated Reinforced Packing Tape?
Standard grade water activated reinforced packing tape is a kraft-paper-based tape with a plant-derived adhesive that activates when moistened. Inside the tape, a reinforced fibreglass mesh adds extra strength, allowing the tape to bond deeply with corrugated cartons.
This combination creates a powerful, tamper-evident seal suitable for general shipping, regular warehouse operations and everyday packaging tasks.
It’s commonly used for:
• eCommerce shipping
• 3PL fulfilment
• retail packaging
• lightweight to medium-weight cartons
• domestic and local courier shipments
• export packaging when extra reinforcement is required
It is the perfect “daily workhorse” tape for businesses.
How Standard Grade Water Activated Reinforced Packing Tape Works
This tape becomes highly effective thanks to three components:
1. Water-Activated Adhesive
Once moistened, the adhesive penetrates carton fibres, forming a chemical bond stronger than standard plastic tapes.
2. Reinforced Fibreglass Structure
Cross-weave fibres prevent tearing, splitting or peeling giving cartons better protection during handling and transport.
3. Kraft Paper Material
Made from natural kraft paper, it aligns with sustainability targets and allows easy recycling.

Benefits of Standard Grade Water Activated Reinforced Packing Tape
1. Tamper-Evident Security
If someone attempts to open the box, the tape tears the carton surface instantly revealing interference.
2. Superior Adhesion
It bonds stronger than pressure-sensitive plastic tape, even on recycled cartons or dusty warehouse surfaces.
3. More Eco-Friendly Than Plastic Tape
The tape is biodegradable, recyclable and reduces plastic waste supporting greener packaging goals.
