Our 70 gsm, 72mm tape is made up of entirely renewable and recyclable paper with an adhesive that needs moisture to produce the adhesion on the tape, giving the tape its name. This tape is also known as water-activated paper tape or gummed water tape. The adhesive in the tape has a biodegradable natural starch that sticks to the surface of the box or package and helps the tape to firmly adhere to the surface. This tape is not only environmentally friendly but also has an instant and stronger adhesive than standard packaging tape, making it excellent for heavy-duty packaging and delivery purposes. The adhesion on this tape will perform in all climates, making it suitable for application in cool rooms and freezers.

Due to its sustainability and durability, this water-activated tape is very famous within the industry. It is an excellent long-term package binding option for businesses aiming to boost their productivity and effectiveness.
