What Is Reinforced Kraft Paper Water Activated Tape 2.75 x 450 ft?
Reinforced kraft paper water activated tape 2.75 x 450 ft is a heavy-duty kraft paper tape strengthened with fibreglass strands and coated with a water-activated adhesive. At 2.75 inches wide and 450 ft long, it offers superior coverage per roll and a strong, permanent bond.
This tape is ideal for:
• heavy, bulky or fragile shipments
• export cartons
• warehouses and 3PLs
• industrial packaging
• eCommerce fulfilment
• recycled and double-wall cartons
With its reinforced structure, it outperforms standard tapes in strength, security and longevity.
How This Tape Works
Its performance comes from a combination of intelligent materials and adhesive science.
1. Water-Activated Adhesive
When moistened, the adhesive penetrates carton fibres, bonding the tape to the box surface permanently.
2. Fibreglass Reinforcement
The embedded cross-weave fibres prevent stretching, tearing and splitting even under heavy loads.
3. Eco-Friendly Kraft Paper
Made from sustainable kraft paper, it’s fully recyclable and ideal for brands prioritising sustainability.

Why Choose Reinforced Kraft Paper Water Activated Tape 2.75 x 450 ft?
1. Stronger Than Plastic Tape
Traditional plastic tapes require multiple layers. This tape needs only one strip to seal a box securely.
2. Tamper-Evident Protection
If the seal is lifted, the top carton layer tears instantly signalling tampering.
3. Ideal for Heavy-Duty Shipping
The reinforced fibres add tensile strength, making it suitable for heavier goods and high-pressure stacking.
4. Perfect for Export
Stable in temperature changes, humidity and long-distance transport.
5. Fully Recyclable
Helps reduce single-use plastics and supports environmental targets.
