Water activated tape is primarily white or natural colored kraft paper with a starch-based adhesive. It’s usually available in various widths and thicknesses and might contain multiple layers with fiberglass reinforcement, depending on the strength necessary. When the adhesive is activated with water, it penetrates the carton material, forming a permanent bond. Water-activated tape bonds instantly to both virgin and recycled fiber surfaces and therefore, generates an immediate destructive bond resulting in a tamper evident package. WAT Paper Tape (Gummed Tape, Gum Tape, Kraft Tape) is offered in both fiberglass reinforced and plain paper with many styles available.
