GoGreen Water Activated Gum Tape - Reinforced Threaded Kraft Paper 72mm x 80 meters

GoGreen Water Activated Gum Tape is a reinforced, threaded kraft paper carton sealing tape in a 72 mm x 80 metre roll, made for anyone who wants a strong, tamper-proof seal on cardboard boxes. It can be applied by hand or with a gummed tape dispenser machine, and it holds up in the varied weather that outdoor transport in South Africa can bring.

Key Benefits

• Bonds firmly to cardboard, giving a strong, tamper-proof seal that protects the contents of the box.
• Water-activated kraft paper tape gives a superior seal compared with other pressure-sensitive tapes.
• Reinforced threads built into the brown kraft paper make the tape hard to break.
• Withstands changing weather, including heavy rain, freezing snowy temperatures and direct sunlight, so it suits outdoor transport.
• Made from kraft paper and gum sealant, and recyclable.
• Environmentally friendly: made from 100% wood pulp and starch, and both recyclable and compostable.

How to Use

Apply the tape by hand or load it into a gummed tape dispenser machine. The adhesive is water-activated, so it works differently from pressure-sensitive tape. Use it to seal the seams of cardboard boxes before they go out for transport.

Suitable For

• Sealing cardboard boxes where a tamper-proof closure matters.
• Boxes travelling outdoors or in changeable weather conditions.
• Users who prefer a recyclable, compostable paper-based tape to plastic alternatives.

Compatibility

Designed for cardboard boxes, and works with both hand application and gummed tape dispenser machines.
