Gummed Tape

Gummed tape, also known as water-activated tape or Kraft paper tape, is a type of packaging tape that is commonly used for sealing boxes and packages. It is made from a paper backing that is coated with a water-activated adhesive on one side.

To use gummed tape, you need to wet the adhesive side with water, either by using a sponge or a specialized gummed tape dispenser. The water activates the adhesive, making it sticky and allowing it to bond securely to the surface of the box or package.

Gummed tape offers several advantages over other types of packaging tape. It provides a strong and secure seal, as the adhesive bonds well to the surface of the box. It also offers tamper-evident properties, as any attempt to remove or tamper with the tape will cause it to tear or leave behind visible evidence of tampering.

Additionally, gummed tape is eco-friendly as it is made from paper and can be easily recycled. It is also biodegradable, making it a more sustainable choice compared to plastic-based tapes.

Overall, gummed tape is a reliable and effective option for sealing boxes and packages, particularly for bulk materials in the supply group Containers, Packaging, And Packing Supplies.
