Water activated sealing tape is quickly becoming the preferred packaging choice for warehouses, eCommerce brands, and 3PL operations that want secure, tamper-proof, and eco-friendly box sealing. If you’ve been relying on plastic tape that peels, curls, or fails under pressure, this kraft-based reinforced tape is the upgrade your packaging line has been waiting for.
With customer expectations rising and supply chains demanding more resilience, businesses across Australia are looking for sealing solutions that offer reliability without sacrificing sustainability. That’s exactly where water activated sealing tape stands out strong performance, clean presentation, and long-term durability, all wrapped into one cost-efficient material.
If you’re serious about packaging quality, operational efficiency, and brand consistency, this is exactly what you need.
A Smarter, Stronger Box Seal Starts with Water Activated Sealing Tape
Unlike traditional plastic tape, water activated sealing tape doesn’t just stick to the surface it forms a permanent bond with carton fibres. Once activated with water, its starch-based adhesive penetrates deep into the cardboard, creating a seal that becomes part of the box structure itself.
This makes it incredibly hard to tamper with, virtually impossible to peel off cleanly, and far more resilient in high-pressure shipping scenarios. With fewer failures and fewer layers needed, it’s also one of the most cost-effective choices in modern packaging.
Why Water Activated Sealing Tape Outperforms Plastic Tape
1. Tamper-Evident Security
Once bonded, any attempt to peel it leaves visible damage. Perfect for high-value shipments and brands that take customer trust seriously.
2. Works in All Conditions
Heat, cold, humidity, dust water activated sealing tape holds strong no matter where your cartons are stored or shipped. Plastic tapes weaken under environmental changes, but this kraft-based option remains stable.
3. Fully Eco-Friendly & Recyclable
Made from kraft paper and non-toxic vegetable starch adhesive, it’s 100% recyclable with your cardboard carton no separation required.

4. Cleaner, More Professional Presentation
Your tape is one of the first touchpoints your customers experience. Kraft sealing tape gives your packaging a premium, uniform look that aligns with modern branding standards.
5. Less Tape, Less Waste, More Efficiency
No more multi-layer plastic wrapping. One strip of water activated sealing tape gets the job done saving time, labour, and cost.
