When it comes to shipping and storage, ensuring your packages remain securely sealed is essential. Water activated kraft tape is a high-performance packaging solution that combines strength, security, and sustainability. Unlike standard pressure-sensitive tapes, this tape forms a permanent bond with corrugated cardboard, making it ideal for businesses, warehouses, and e-commerce operations that demand professional-grade sealing.
Why Choose Water Activated Kraft Tape
Water activated kraft tape, also known as gummed tape, is made from durable Kraft paper coated with a water-activated adhesive. When moistened, the adhesive penetrates the fibers of the cardboard, creating a strong, tamper-evident seal. Many options also include fiberglass reinforcement, which enhances tensile strength and prevents tearing, making it suitable for heavy-duty or long-distance shipments.
Key advantages include:
- Tamper-Evident Sealing: Any attempt to open the package damages the tape, ensuring shipment security.
- Strong Adhesion: Forms a chemical bond with corrugated cartons for maximum durability.
- Eco-Friendly: Fully recyclable and biodegradable, supporting sustainable packaging initiatives.
- Customizable: Can be printed with logos or messages for brand promotion.
- Cost-Effective: Reduces risk of product damage and package loss, saving costs in the long term.
Applications of Water Activated Kraft Tape
Water activated kraft tape is versatile and ideal for a wide range of packaging needs, including:
- E-commerce shipping
- Warehouse and storage operations
- Industrial and heavy-duty packaging
- Moving and relocation services
- Long-distance shipping and logistics
Tips for Effective Use
- Use a Tape Dispenser: For consistent adhesive activation and faster application, especially in high-volume packing environments.
- Choose the Right Tape Width: Select tape width based on carton size and weight to ensure maximum protection.
- Store Properly: Keep rolls in a dry environment to maintain adhesive quality.
Why Businesses Prefer Water Activated Kraft Tape

Its eco-friendly materials appeal to environmentally conscious consumers, and its reinforced variants are perfect for heavy or overpacked cartons.
