How Printed Water Activated Tape Works

Water activated tape uses a starch-based adhesive that becomes sticky when moistened. The tape passes through a water activated tape dispenser, which activates the adhesive before application. Once applied to the carton, the tape bonds with the corrugated surface and becomes part of the box closure.

Why Choose Printed Water Activated Tape – 1 Color?

Printed Water Activated Tape – 1 Color combines carton sealing strength with custom branding. Unlike standard packaging tape, it creates a secure, tamper-resistant closure while promoting your company, product, or handling message directly on the package.
