For the ultimate in eco-friendly security and heavy-duty load containment, our Gummed Paper Tape (also known as water-activated tape) is the gold standard. Manufactured from natural kraft paper fibres with a starch-based adhesive, this tape requires moisture to activate. Once applied, the adhesive penetrates the fibres of the cardboard box, creating a permanent, homogeneous, and unyielding bond that cannot be peeled off without destroying the box itself.

When should I invest in electric tape dispensers for my packing line?
Electric tape dispensers are ideal for high-volume ecommerce operations. They provide pre-cut lengths of tape, reducing waste and ensuring that every box on your pallet is sealed with the exact amount of box tape required for safety.
Is a gummed tape dispenser better for heavy-duty shipping?
A gummed tape dispenser applies water-activated tape that creates a molecular bond with the cardboard box. This is often more secure than standard packing tape for heavy pallet loads, as the seal cannot be peeled off without leaving visible evidence.
How do gummed tape machines improve sustainability?
Gummed tape machines use paper-based tape that is 100% recyclable. For businesses using eco-friendly pallet wrapper film, switching to gummed tape allows for a more sustainable, plastic-reduced packaging workflow.
How do electric tape dispensers help reduce material costs?
By dispensing precise lengths, electric tape dispensers prevent employees from over-taping boxes. This efficiency helps lower the total cost of packaging mailing supplies across the warehouse.
Can I use a gummed tape dispenser with reinforced paper tape?
Yes. Gummed tape dispensers are specifically designed for water-activated paper tape, including reinforced versions that rival the strength of heavy duty plastic bags and straps.
Are gummed tape dispensers easy to maintain?
Yes, gummed tape dispensers and gummed tape machines are built for industrial durability. Regular cleaning of the water reservoir and brushes ensures the tape is always properly activated for a secure seal.
