The printable version of the gummed paper tape, with kraft paper backing and corn or potato starch adhesive that can only be activated with water.
Gummed paper tape is eco-friendly and sustainable.
This particular tape is made with a brown or white Kraft paper backing, in this case smooth, and a corn or potato starch adhesive that can only be activated with water. This ensures that the grip on the cardboard is immediate and solid, transforming the tape into a practical anti-burglary system: at the first attempt to open, in fact, the cardboard will tear together with the tape, immediately revealing the tampering suffered. Thanks to its particular resistance to traction, the tape is excellent for closing and shipping even very heavy packages.
Kraft paper can also be requested with FSC® certification which guarantees its origin from ethically and responsibly managed forests, respecting the highest Chain of Custody (CoC) management standards.
To use gummed paper tapes, however, it is necessary to use special applicators that, by wetting the adhesive, activate the glue. The main difference lies in the frequency and method of use. In fact, there are different types of moisteners: the manual one, for closing a few boxes at a time, the electric or semi-electric one, for the semi-automatic closing of more boxes more frequently, and the industrial one for the automatic and continuous closing of many packages.
