Water-activated tape is an environment-friendly tape made of biodegradable and 100% recycled paper. It comes with adhesion that requires moisture to activate the bond, giving it its name, i.e., water-activated paper tape or gummed paper tape. Due to its sustainability and durability, water-activated tape is quite popular within the packaging industry. The tape contains an organic raw starch adhesive that sticks to the surface of the carton or package and allows the tape to make a strong bond with the surface. This assures that the package stays firmly shut and unaltered during shipping. Aside from being non-toxic, this tape is also a far more aggressive adhesive than standard packaging tape, making it an excellent choice for prolonged heavy-duty packaging, storage, and transportation applications. The tape can also be customized with brand logos to make it more visually attractive.

It is an excellent long-term carton sealing option for businesses aiming to boost their productivity and effectiveness. You can use LW-GTA Electric Water Activated Tape Dispenser to dispense this tape. It is often called a gummed tape dispenser, which induces binding on the tape using water. It features moist rollers over which the paper tape moves around, activating the adhesive.
