What is Water Activated Tape?

Water Activated Tape is a starch-based paper tape that has a unique adhesive product that becomes active when dampened with water, allowing it to be easily applied. Its advantage over traditional packaging tape lies in its ability to securely adhere to carton fibres as it dries. This characteristic prevents lifting and tampering without leaving clear evidence as it tends to rip the box, thus providing a reliable pilfer-evident and tamper-evident seal. Crafted from kraft paper and featuring a starch-based adhesive, this tape is not only biodegradable but also aligns with environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
