The printable version of the reinforced gummed paper tape, with a brown or white Kraft paper backing, in this case reinforced with glass fibres, and a corn or potato starch adhesive that can only be activated with water.
Due to the characteristics of the support, the tape grips the cardboard immediately, transforming the tape into a practical anti-theft system: at the first attempt to open, in fact, the cardboard will tear together with the tape, immediately revealing the tampering suffered. Compared to classic gummed paper, this tape is equipped with a glass fiber weave that further increases its breaking load and strength, making it suitable for closing 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, you need to have 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 humidifiers: 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.
