Water activated tape (also known as gummed paper tape) is a secure, tamper-evident packaging solution designed for sealing cartons in a reliable and eco-friendly way. Unlike regular self-adhesive tapes, this tape bonds permanently with the carton surface once moistened, creating a strong, fibre-reinforced seal that cannot be peeled away without leaving visible damage. It’s the preferred choice for businesses seeking high security, sustainability, and professionalism in their packaging.
