Water activated tape IPG has become one of the most trusted choices for businesses that demand strong, tamper-evident, and eco-conscious carton sealing. If you’re in e-commerce, warehousing, food manufacturing, logistics or high-volume shipping, you already know how critical a secure seal is. IPG takes that to an entirely new level with engineered reinforced fibers, plant-based adhesives, and consistent performance on all corrugated surfaces.
At Carewell Group, we support businesses shifting toward smarter, safer, and greener packaging supplies, and WAT from IPG fits right into that mission. From heavy cartons to export freight, IPG’s water-activated tape delivers dependable performance that plastic tapes simply cannot match.
What Makes Water Activated Tape IPG Different?
IPG (Intertape Polymer Group) is one of the global leaders in adhesive tapes but their water-activated range is in a league of its own. Here’s what sets it apart:
1. Reinforced Strength That Won’t Fail
IPG WAT includes fiberglass reinforcement that bonds into the carton when activated with water. Once applied, it creates a permanent seal that can’t be lifted without visible damage a major advantage for high-value or export shipments.
2. Exceptional Adhesion with Plant-Based Glue
This tape uses a starch-based adhesive that, when moistened, penetrates carton fibers and forms a natural bond. It’s efficient, strong, and exactly what businesses aiming for sustainability need.
3. Eco-Friendly & Fully Recyclable
Unlike plastic tapes that contaminate recycling streams, water activated tape IPG is fully curbside recyclable with cardboard. It aligns strongly with environmental packaging expectations and corporate sustainability commitments.
