Overview

#260 Grade Water Activated Tape is a high-performance reinforced kraft sealing tape designed for secure carton closure in commercial, industrial, and warehouse environments. Once activated with water, the starch-based adhesive penetrates the corrugated surface to create a permanent bond with the carton.

This tape forms a fiber-tearing seal that helps prevent tampering and unauthorized access during transit. It is ideal for shipping operations that require durability, security, and environmentally responsible packaging materials.

Key Benefits

• Creates a strong bond directly to corrugated cartons
• Reduces risk of pilferage with tamper-evident seal
• Performs well in temperature and humidity changes
• Reinforced fibers improve tensile strength
• Supports sustainable packaging initiatives
• Minimizes need for multiple tape strips

Performance & Application

#260 Grade Water Activated Tape bonds aggressively once moistened. The adhesive integrates with the carton fibers, creating a unified seal rather than surface adhesion. This makes it suitable for heavy cartons, export shipments, fulfillment centers, and long-term storage applications.

For best results, apply using a calibrated water activated tape dispenser to ensure consistent moisture activation and uniform adhesion.
