Permanent Fiber Bond. Tamper-Proof Box Security.
Water-activated gummed kraft paper tape with reinforced fiberglass threads for tamper-proof box sealing.
Custom Paper Tape represents the modern gold standard for professional e-commerce fulfillment, brand presentation, and box security. Unlike plastic pressure-sensitive tape that peels off smooth cardboard surfaces, water-activated paper tape (WAT) utilizes a natural starch-based adhesive. When moistened by a dispenser, the starch adhesive penetrates deeply into the corrugated cardboard fibers, forming a capillary bond that permanently welds the tape to the box.
Reinforced with a multi-directional fiberglass filament grid, reinforced paper tape offers immense tensile strength that prevents shipping boxes from popping open during rough transit. Any attempt to peel or lift the tape tears the underlying cardboard face paper, providing instant, 100% tamper-evident security. Because it is made of paper, boxes sealed with WAT can be thrown directly into curbside recycling without removing the tape.
