This 48mm wide water activated tape, with a generous roll length of 200 metres and a 70gsm paper weight, is designed for secure, tamper-evident carton sealing. Also known as gummed paper tape, it adheres firmly to cardboard surfaces when moistened, creating a strong and permanent bond that becomes part of the box structure itself.

Secure Bond with Tamper Evidence

Water activated tape offers a more secure alternative to standard pressure-sensitive tapes. Once applied, it fuses with the carton surface, making it difficult to remove without visible damage. This makes it particularly suitable for dispatching goods where tamper evidence is essential, such as ecommerce orders, industrial shipments, or fulfilment centre packaging.

Strong, Sustainable & Cost-Effective

With a 70gsm kraft paper construction, this water activated tape provides a balance of strength and flexibility. It is suitable for both single and double wall boxes, holding fast during transit, stacking and handling. As it is paper-based and water activated, it is a more sustainable choice for packaging operations aiming to reduce plastic use.

Compatible with manual or electric water activated tape dispensers, this roll length is ideal for high-volume packaging environments. The adhesive activates quickly with water, creating a seal that is reliable across a range of temperatures and humidity levels.
