GoGreen Water Activated Gum Tape - Kraft Paper 72mm x 135 meters

GoGreen Water Activated Gum Tape - Kraft Paper is a brown kraft paper gummed tape for sealing cardboard boxes with a tamper-proof seal. It suits online sellers, pet and aquarium retailers, and anyone packing parcels that will travel outdoors in changing weather.

Key Benefits

• Bonds well to cardboard, so the box is sealed with a tamper-proof closure and the contents stay protected.
• Gives a stronger seal than pressure-sensitive tapes.
• Holds up in heavy rain, freezing snowy temperatures and direct sunlight, which makes it suited to outdoor transport.
• Brown kraft paper construction that is high quality and not easy to break.
• Made from kraft paper and gum sealant, or more precisely 100% wood pulp and starch. It is recyclable and compostable, so it is an environmentally friendly packaging choice.

How to Use

Apply the tape by hand or with a gummed tape dispenser machine. Because the tape is water-activated, the gum side is moistened to activate it before it is pressed onto the box seam.

Suitable For

• Sealing cardboard boxes where a tamper-proof seal matters.
• Parcels and shipments travelling outdoors in varied weather conditions.
• Packers who prefer a recyclable, paper-based alternative to plastic pressure-sensitive tape.
