Water-Activated Tape (WAT)

The paper-based alternative for secure carton sealing.

Water-activated tape combines strong sealing performance with the benefits of a paper-based packaging solution. The adhesive is activated by water and bonds firmly to the carton surface, creating a reliable, long-lasting seal throughout storage and transit.

Attempts to open the carton can leave visible marks on the seal, helping potential tampering become easier to identify.

Our water-activated tapes are manufactured with a kraft paper backing and a starch-based adhesive. Once activated, the tape integrates firmly with the carton surface, providing dependable sealing performance for light to medium-weight packaging applications.

Whether supplied plain or custom printed, our tapes can be tailored to your individual requirements. Printing is carried out using water-based inks to ensure a professional and consistent brand presentation.
