What Is Water Activated Non Reinforced Kraft Paper Tape?
Water activated non reinforced kraft paper tape is a kraft paper-based tape that uses a plant-derived adhesive activated by water. Unlike reinforced versions, this tape does not contain fibreglass mesh, making it fully recyclable, biodegradable and ideal for everyday carton sealing.
It’s best suited for:
• light and medium-weight packages
• eCommerce orders
• subscription boxes
• retail packaging
• boutique products
• environmentally conscious brands
It’s dependable, minimalistic, clean and eco-friendly.
How Water Activated Non Reinforced Kraft Paper Tape Works
This tape becomes effective through its three core components:
1. Water-Activated Adhesive
Moistening the adhesive causes it to penetrate the fibres of corrugated cartons, creating a strong, secure bond.
2. Kraft Paper Backing
The natural kraft paper composition ensures recyclability and supports sustainability goals.
3. Smooth Single-Ply Construction
Without reinforcement, it’s easier to use, lighter and cost-effective ideal for high-volume shipping.

Water Activated Non Reinforced Tape vs Reinforced Tape
Choosing the right version depends on your shipping needs:
Non Reinforced:
• eco-friendlier
• ideal for light/medium cartons
• cleaner appearance
• most cost-effective
• easy to recycle
Reinforced:
• includes fibreglass mesh
• best for heavy or fragile goods
• superior strength
• recommended for export and long-distance shipping
You can stock both to cover all packaging needs.
Why Businesses Prefer Kraft Water Activated Tape Over Plastic Tape
Brands are switching because kraft tape delivers:
• better carton bonding
• improved sustainability
• fewer tape layers needed
• reduced microplastic waste
• enhanced customer perception
Plastic tape requires multiple wraps and still doesn’t offer the security of a water-activated seal.
How to Apply Water Activated Non Reinforced Kraft Paper Tape
To get a strong, clean seal:
- Use a water-activated tape dispenser
- Moisten the tape evenly
- Apply across the carton seam
- Press firmly for proper bonding
