Gummed Paper Tape
Gummed Paper TapeGummed paper tape is a great sustainable packaging choice for your business and your customers. Not only does the water-activated adhesive create a stronger seal with the paper fibers of the cardboard box, it also creates greater efficiency on packing lines and produces significantly less waste than plastic tape.More costly, you might ask? No. While sometimes more expensive per metre, you can often make up to 30% overall savings on every parcel being shipped due to the significant reduction in usage!Less waste and uniform dispensing give better control when packing, and result in a more consistent appearance and unboxing experience. Plus, you are better able to estimate your periodic usage which is great for budgeting.Check out our range of gummed paper tape dispensers and request a trial to see which one is right for you.Other features include:Made from kraft paper Reinforced version for greater strength (reinforcements made from recycled plastic or bamboo fibres)Water-based gummed adhesive is fully recyclable Great performance in all temperaturesPerfect for export goodsAvailable in 50mm and 75mm widths, 100 or 150m rollsTamper evident sealA major advantage of gummed paper tape which is often overlooked is the naturally tamper-evident seal it creates.The water-based adhesive soaks the paper fibres of the box and "welds" the papers of the box and the tape together. Thus, the package cannot be opened without tearing or cutting the tape, or ripping the tape off the box which would require a lot of force to effectively delaminate the cardboard.This gives a very secure seal which is superior to the vast majority self-adhesive plastic or paper tapes.
