Reinforced water activated gummed tape is the strongest, most heavy-duty option for box sealing applications. It has a durable and aggressive adhesive designed for secure and long-term bond. Regular gummed tape is also a heavy-duty tape but doesn’t have the tensile strength that reinforced tape does. The reinforcement strips ensures the boxes are securely sealed and protected during transit.

If you are looking for a regular packaging tape, we recommend PVC grade material. This tape has an aggressive natural rubber adhesive that is suitable to be applied in cool room temperatures. PVC printed tape is a popular heavy duty carton sealing tape.

Gummed tape has a water activated adhesive that requires moisture to be applied to the tape for the adhesion to become sticky. This property ensures a durable bond that is much stronger than what is offered by traditional pressure-sensitive tapes. A water activated tape dispenser is required for applying gummed tape, rather than regular tape dispensers. We offer three different types of water activated tape dispensers, each catering to different usage requirements and volume levels.

The manually operated water activated tape dispenser is ideal for lower-volume carton sealing requirements. This portable bench top dispenser can be used for any gummed tape that is between 25mm and 75 mm wide. It comes with a plastic water trough for the gummed paper tape to go through to activate the adhesive. It has a metal blade with fine teeth for easy dispensing of the gummed tape. This dispenser is a low-cost option and easy to operate unit. Click here to discover more about this manual gummed tape dispenser.

Increase productivity to your carton sealing process with the Mini Electric Water Activated Gummed Tape Dispenser, an ideal tool for e-commerce packers and distribution warehouses. This dispenser is designed to offer instant adhesion and effortless application with the simple press of a button. Adjustable settings for tape length, water output, temperature, and speed ensure it will suit to suit your specific needs. This dispenser boasts a durable full stainless-steel 2.1-liter water tank that reduces the frequency of refills. It has the capability of dispensing up to 1.1 meters of gummed tape per second and accommodates roll widths of 2.5 to 8cm. The long-life blade ensures persistent reliability and low maintenance, making this compact and strong tape dispenser a top-tier choice for streamlining packaging operations. To avoid the capital outlay of purchasing this dispenser, we offer rental options at a low cost per month.

The Automatic Marsh Water Activated Dispenser is an exceptional dispenser designed to ramp up efficiency in high-volume packaging environments such as packing stations and distribution warehouses. Offering a significant boost in productivity, this dispenser boasts 10 pre-set tape lengths for common applications and the ability to program custom lengths to meet individual packing needs. Enhanced motor performance and a durable, high-performance guillotine cutter provide clean and consistent cuts every time.

The 2.07-litre water tank reduces refill interruptions, keeping the packaging process moving smoothly and quickly. An intuitive keypad and LCD display allow for easy selection of tape lengths, while the sturdy 12-gauge metal chassis assures stability and longevity. Additional features such as the adjustable tape channel guides, spill-minimising rubber valve, and an easy-to-use thumbscrew for tape centring make operation seamless. This dispenser can be used for tape rolls up to 305 meters (max roll diameter of 222.6mm), allowing for extended use without the need for frequent reloading.
