What Is Reinforced Water Activated Kraft Tape?
Reinforced water activated kraft tape is a heavy-duty paper tape coated with plant-based adhesive that activates when moistened. Inside the tape, cross-weave fibres (usually fibreglass) add reinforcement, giving the tape exceptional strength and tear resistance.
It works by bonding with the carton surface, creating a permanent, tamper-proof seal that cannot be removed without visibly damaging the box.
This makes it ideal for:
• eCommerce shipments
• industrial packaging
• warehousing and 3PL operations
• exporting goods
• fragile or heavy products
• long-distance shipping
It’s a packaging solution built for businesses that prioritise security and sustainability.
How Reinforced Water Activated Kraft Tape Works
Here’s why this tape performs better than pressure-sensitive tapes:
1. Water-Activated Adhesive
Once moistened, the adhesive penetrates the surface of corrugated cartons, forming a chemical bond with the fibres.
The result? A seal that cannot be peeled off without evidence of tampering.
2. Reinforced Fibreglass Mesh
Reinforcing fibres provide cross-directional tensile strength, allowing the tape to withstand heavy loads, stacking pressures and transport vibrations.
3. Sustainable Kraft Paper
Made from natural kraft paper, it’s recyclable and biodegradable supporting eco-friendly packaging initiatives.

Key Benefits of Reinforced Water Activated Kraft Tape
1. Superior Tamper Evidence
If someone tries to open a sealed box, the tape tears the top layer of the carton immediately exposing interference.
2. High Adhesion Strength
Unlike standard plastic tapes, reinforced water activated kraft tape doesn’t lose adhesion due to dust, humidity or temperature changes.
3. Eco-Friendly and Fully Recyclable
The tape is paper-based and repulpable, making it ideal for businesses that want sustainable packaging without compromise.
