Water-activated tape is a type of adhesive tape made with a starch-based adhesive that becomes sticky when moistened. Unlike traditional pressure-sensitive tapes, WAT forms a permanent bond with corrugated cartons and fiberboard, offering tamper-evident and secure sealing-an essential quality for logistics, e-commerce, and shipping applications.
This tape is particularly favored for its durability, eco-friendliness, and strong adhesion, even on dusty or dirty surfaces. Moreover, it's available in machine-grade rolls, making it suitable for automated packaging systems, which are becoming a standard in modern manufacturing and distribution facilities.
