Why is using water activated kraft paper tape with NT-AT3.0 the best solution for sealing cartons?

In practical use, traditional BOPP tapes or ordinary plastic tapes have several undeniable problems:

1. Adhesion significantly decreases in humid environments

In high-humidity warehouses or during long-distance transportation, traditional tapes are prone to peeling and detachment, requiring repeated reinforcement.

2. Easily torn, posing a risk of cargo theft

Traditional tapes can be easily and undetectably torn open and resealed, offering insufficient security for high-value goods.

3. Requires multiple layers of wrapping, wasting labor and materials

To ensure a "more secure" seal, operators often wrap several layers of tape, increasing both material and labor costs.

4. Non-recyclable, not in line with environmental and brand trends

Plastic tapes cannot be recycled together with cardboard boxes, making them increasingly incompatible with the development direction of sustainable packaging.

Water Activated Tape (WAT) is an environmentally friendly paper tape made with a kraft paper base and an adhesive layer that is activated by water.

When this tape is thoroughly and evenly moistened with water, the adhesive layer deeply penetrates and bonds with the cardboard fibers, forming an integrated, secure sealing structure. Once the box is sealed, it is virtually impossible to tear it open without damaging the box.  This is especially true with reinforced water activated tape, which is not only difficult to tear off, but also leaves behind traces of its internal fiber material.

Using Water activated tape is better for your customers, better for your business, and better for your employees.

1. Extremely Strong Sealing Strength

The adhesive layer fuses with the cardboard fibers, providing a stronger bond than traditional tapes that simply "stick to the surface."

2. Tamper-Proof and Anti-Theft, Protecting Shipping Privacy

Once torn open, the surface of the cardboard box will be visibly damaged, effectively preventing tampering and product substitution during transit.

3. Cleaner and More Professional Packaging Appearance

One strip of tape is sufficient for sealing the box or for H-shaped packaging, resulting in a cleaner and neater overall package, enhancing brand image.

4. 100% Recyclable and More Environmentally Friendly

Kraft paper tape can be recycled along with the cardboard box, complying with environmental regulations and trends in European and American markets.

5. OEM and Branded Packaging

Water activated tape can be customized with logos, colors, and printed brand information, allowing for the production of branded products and enhancing brand packaging impression.

Many users initially use handheld or manual dispensers when working with water-activated tape, but problems gradually emerge during large-scale shipments:

1. Requires repeated pulling and pressing.

2. Slow packaging pace and unstable efficiency.

3.  Shipments are easily delayed during peak periods.

4. Prolonged operation leads to fatigue in employees' shoulders, neck, and wrists.

5. Inconvenient switching between different carton sizes.

To solve these packaging drawbacks, we recommend using the NT-AT 3.0 electric water activated tape dispenser.

The NT-AT 3.0 is an electric tape dispenser that offers tape length options from 15 to 210 cm, providing an environmentally friendly, efficient, and safe sealing solution at a speed of 60 m/min.

1. Easily handle peak shipping periods

The electric tape dispenser automatically produces and cuts tape to the corresponding length, with a speed of 60m/min, meaning it produces 1 meter of tape in just 1 second, ideal for fast-paced shipping environments.

2. Strong adhesion ensures safe transportation

The adhesive is evenly distributed on the tape, ensuring that every piece of water-activated tape is in its optimal bonding state.

3. Easily match different carton sizes

Multiple operating modes support preset lengths and one-button tape dispensing, eliminating the need for repeated measuring or cutting, depending on the usage scenario.

4. Reduce labor intensity and improve employee experience

Reduces repetitive pulling motions, effectively alleviating strain on the shoulders, neck, and wrists.

5. Customized branded products

Offers customization options for the tape dispenser's functions, logo, and color, creating unique branded products and market presence.

As a water activated tape dispenser specifically designed for enterprise-level packaging scenarios,

the NT-AT 3.0 helps you truly unlock the full value of water-activated tape:

1. Operating noise level of 68-75dB, a 15-20dB reduction compared to the second-generation model;

2. Supports tape rolls up to 22cm in diameter, with a stable and efficient dispensing and cutting system;

3. Upgraded interface operation with multiple user-friendly prompts for easier operation (1. Programming mode now displays the length of the next segment; 2. Unused tape length will continuously flash).

4. Water tank capacity: 3.4 liters, an increase of 1.2 liters compared to the NT-ATv2.0, equivalent to the capacity of 10 bottles of water;

5. Customizable hand-sensing tape dispensing function to meet diverse packaging needs;

6. Supports RS232 communication command control, allowing simultaneous remote control and monitoring of 10 devices (1. Optional DB9/USB2.0 interface for data connection with a computer);

7. Suitable for warehouses, e-commerce fulfillment centers, manufacturing plants, etc., to create a more professional and secure carton sealing process.

In today's logistics and e-commerce environment, carton sealing has become not only an efficiency tool and a safety tool, but also a branding tool.
