What Is Gummed Paper Tape?

Gummed paper tapes, also called water-activated tape (WAT), are mostly made from paper and natural adhesives. As the name suggests, these tapes work like postage stamps where the adhesive gets activated when you moisten it with water. It is common to use a wet sponge or sprayer to activate these tapes. However, dispensing machines are also available. The perfect choice if you ship more than 30 orders daily. An electric dispensing machine is quicker, portable, and efficiently cuts the tapes in uniform lengths. Apart from shipping boxes, you can use gummed paper tapes to seal gift bags and envelopes because they tear easily and leave no sticky residue. Great for many different tasks.

Why Opt for Using a Dispenser

Gummed paper tape is an excellent packing solution for any sort of delivery option. Since they act like postage stamps, they are quite simple to use. However, if you need to use it a lot, then simply dampening the tape will not be efficient. It will take too long to do each and every item. That is why it is a wise investment to opt for using a dispenser. It will make shipping and packaging a more efficient aspect and improve your business as a whole.

2 Types Of Gummed Paper Tape

There are two types of gummed tape that those in the shipping and packaging industries use: reinforced and non-reinforced. Let's take a look at these two types of tape.

Reinforced Gummed Paper Tape

Reinforced gummed paper tape is the most common gummed paper tape on the market. It can be found in hardware shops, schools & office supply stores to supplement your dispenser. Although the paper component of these tapes is recyclable, the adhesive is not due to the presence of the fiberglass strands. The fiberglass strands, which are embedded, make it harder to tear manually and requires you to have a sharp blade. However, it is stronger and more durable in the end, which makes it ideal for the shipment of heavier loads.

Non-Reinforced Gummed Paper Tape

Non-reinforced type gummed tapes are made of paper and natural adhesives. They are biodegradable and 100% curbside recyclable. This feature makes them easier for customers to discard and well as makes it more eco-friendly. Non-reinforced packing tapes are perfect for lighter weighing boxes. Ideally, this tape is acceptable for box up to 10 pounds. This tape works best for sending out small items to customers. Since they are light and compact, this non-reinforced gummed paper tape is able to work well. When the weight increases, that is when you run into issues of security.
