Water-Activated Tape

Water-Activated Tape: Plain and Custom Printed

Water-activated tape (gummed paper tape) forms a permanent bond with the carton when it is wetted, making it one of the strongest and most tamper-evident ways to seal a box. It sticks in dust and cold, is easy to recycle with the box, and gives every shipment a clean, professional look. Lyman Island Supply supplies plain and custom printed water-activated tape, plus the dispensers to run it.

What we offer

  • Reinforced water-activated tape with fiberglass strands for heavy, high-value or long-distance shipments
  • Non-reinforced paper tape for lighter cartons and e-commerce
  • Custom printed tape with your logo, website, or security message
  • Kraft, white and colored paper, in common 2", 3" and 72 mm widths
  • Manual and electric tape dispensers that wet, measure and cut the tape

Why switch to water-activated tape

  • Bonds into the box fibers, so it cannot be peeled off without showing it
  • One strip often replaces several passes of plastic tape
  • Paper-based and curbside recyclable with the carton
  • Works on dusty, recycled and cold cartons where plastic tape can fail
