Why Do You Need To Use Kraft Paper Tape?

What Is Kraft Paper Tape?

Kraft paper tape, also known as water activated tape, is a natural paper tape based on paper as raw material. It can quickly activate the adhesive 

after encountering water so that it can produce high-quality and good adhesion with most packaging cartons and product surfaces. Like 

other types of tapes such as traditional scotch tape, its main purpose is to seal boxes or cartons.

The biggest difference is that it is activated by water and produces a tough, high-strength adhesive, which allows it to maintain optimal adhesion 

even in wet environments, which also means that it is more difficult to tear by hand than other tapes, which also reflects that it can prevent the risk of 

theft and tampering. It is a packaging tape approved by the United States Postal Service and UPS.

So, what are the benefits of using kraft paper tape?

Why Do You Need To Use Kraft Paper Tape? 1

1. Water activated tape - high safety factor

According to traditional habits, most of the tape is dispensed by using a tape gun in combination with traditional transparent tape, but the 

long-term use of this manual tool will cause safety hazards to employees. Repeating an action for a long time to reinforce cartons is very likely to 

cause shoulder and neck injuries, hand and wrist strain, etc. These injuries may be long-term and difficult to resolve. This will lead to higher medical 

claims and poor employee retention rates.

The automation function of the water activated tape dispenser is the most common packaging equipment that dispenses tape to the required length, 

which can easily and safely dispense the tape.

Its strong viscosity can strongly adhere to the carton, making it difficult to tear off, thus avoiding the risk of tampering or theft during transportation.

Because the tearing of kraft paper tape will leave traces, this security can prevent potential theft and ultimately improve your company's reputation 

and trust in the products delivered to customers.

2. Water activated paper tape - excellent return on investment

Water activated paper tapes provide a stronger seal, requiring only one strip of tape to create a better seal on a carton, and are also 

reusable and 100% recyclable.

On average, packers use 50% more clear tape than they need to seal a carton. So using paper tapes can eliminate that waste as well.

3.Water activated Tape-increased productivity

Nothing is more significant than increased productivity.

After all, if kraft paper tape can help you seal and prepare more corrugated boxes in less time, then a quick return on investment will be 

another advantage. It can quickly offset the cost of purchasing dispensers and tape.

Test results show that using a water-activated tape dispenser can increase packaging speed by at least 20% compared to traditional tape guns. It 

only needs to select the required length of tape, and it will quickly cut and output it, and it can be pasted on the carton, unlike traditional tape guns 

that need to repeatedly reinforce the tape in the same direction, resulting in reduced efficiency.

Conclusion

For packaging companies, improving efficiency and reducing costs is fundamental, and investing in a water-activated tape dispenser and 

choosing to use kraft paper tape is a positive investment for the company and can also allow customers/consumers to get the most benefits 

from it.
