Why Gummed Paper Tape?

Image
If you are looking to secure packages securely gummed paper tape is an excellent choice for any packaging operation. Gummed paper tape, also known as water-activated tape requires water to activate the adhesive. The tape comes in rolls with a dry adhesive on one side. The adhesive then needs moisture to activate the adhesive and create a strong bond with the carton or package. This can be done with a WAT tape dispenser equipped with a water reservoir.

Manual Gummed Paper Tape Dispenser: A great option for packaging operations with low shipment volumes.

Swap Plastic for Paper Packaging.

Image
Has your business thought about making sustainable changes?  If you want to be a more environmentally friendly business, swap plastic for paper with these easy sustainable changes to transform your packaging. Swap from plastic tape to sustainable paper tape:   This is always one of the first sustainable packaging swaps we recommend because it is such a simple change! Ditching plastic tape and using paper tape to seal your boxes is an instant win as you are automatically eliminating one category of plastic from your packing materials. Paper tape is available as both self-adhesive and water-activated versions, and it creates a strong and secure seal. Due to its strength, you can often use much less paper tape compared to plastic.

Paper tape is 100% recyclable too, which means there is no need to remove it from boxes before recycling.   This makes it much easier for end-consumers to recycle at home.

BOPP – Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Bags

Image
BOPP bags are produced by laminating a reverse printed film to a woven fabric which is then manufactured into a bag. The film is stretched in both the machine direction (MD) and across machine direction (AMD). The result is a material with superior strength at low gauges, flatness, clarity, and excellent printability.  This construction is in high demand due to its strength and superior picture-like print quality. Printing is achieved by applying the inks directly onto the film which is adhered to a woven fabric using a laminate coating. BOPP film is reverse printed, resulting in a protected interior print (between the film and laminate/woven fabric) which will not scratch or be easily damaged during normal use.   The BOPP bag’s appeal includes dimensional stability, maximum water resistance, and high impact graphics that improve marketability, as well as optional anti-skid features. Uses of a BOPP Bag:   Since the BOPP bag is so versatile, its list of uses is infinite! They are used
