FAQs / Additional Info
A selection of the most commonly asked questions regarding ecommerce packaging, order fulfillment, and more
What are eco-friendly tapes made from?
Our eco-friendly packaging tapes are made from kraft paper and use either biodegradable hot-melt adhesive or water-activated adhesive, both of which are fully recyclable.
Are eco-friendly tapes strong enough for heavy-duty packaging?
Yes, both self-adhesive kraft tape and water-activated tape provide strong, secure seals suitable for sealing heavy-duty packages, ensuring your products remain safe during transit.
How does water-activated adhesive tape work?
Water-activated adhesive tape, also known as gummed tape, requires water to activate the adhesive. Once moistened, the adhesive penetrates the surface of the cardboard, bonding securely with the box fibres. This creates a seal that integrates with the cardboard itself, adding reinforcement to the package.
The tape’s bond remains strong even in varying temperatures and humidity, and its resistance to ageing makes it ideal for both shipping and long-term storage, ensuring packages remain securely sealed over time.
What are the benefits of using water-activated tape?
Water-activated tape provides a tamper-evident seal, bonds securely to cardboard and offers enhanced security and durability for shipments in varying weather conditions.
Is kraft paper tape fully recyclable?
Yes, our kraft paper tape, including its adhesive, is 100% recyclable and biodegradable, making it an excellent option for eco-conscious businesses.
Does kraft paper tape stick to surfaces other than cardboard?
While kraft paper tape is designed primarily for cardboard, it can adhere to other surfaces like paper and some plastics, although the bond may not be as strong.
How should I store water-activated tape?
It’s best to store water-activated tape in a dry, cool environment to maintain its adhesive quality, as well as keep its container sealed if possible. However, it is designed to perform well even in varying temperatures and humidity once applied.
