Tape 470 features a smooth Kraft paper backing and a cornstarch- or potato-based adhesive that is activated by water.
This particular tape is made with a brown or white Kraft paper backing—in this case, smooth—and a cornstarch- or potato-based adhesive that is activated by water. This ensures an immediate and secure bond with the cardboard, transforming the tape into a practical tamper-evident system: in fact, at the first attempt to open it, the cardboard will tear along with the tape, immediately revealing that it has been tampered with. Thanks to its exceptional tensile strength, the tape is ideal for sealing and shipping even very heavy packages.
The entire line can also be customized with logos, messages, and more, making it an easy and effective communication and marketing tool.
FSC®-certified supplies are available upon request for this product. The certification applies to supplies identified as such in the relevant commercial documentation.
However, to use gummed paper tapes, it is necessary to use special applicators that, by wetting the adhesive, activate the glue. The main difference is in the frequency and method of use.
In fact, there are different types of dispensers:
- manual, i.e. semi-electronic or electronic humidifiers for medium-low volumes of package closing.
- automatic taping machines, for industrial use for the automatic and continuous closing of many packages.
