Reinforced Gummed Paper Tape 70mm x 305m (3") – extra-wide, heavy-duty water-activated paper tape designed for sealing large, heavy cartons and export shipments.
Size: 70 mm wide x 305 m long. Supplied in rolls of reinforced gummed kraft paper.
Material & Adhesive
- Material: High-strength kraft paper with glass fibre reinforcement threads running through the tape for added tear and burst resistance.
- Adhesive: Water-activated starch-based adhesive. When moistened, it penetrates the carton surface and bonds with the fibres, creating a permanent, tamper-evident seal.
This combination makes the tape ideal for heavy, high-value consignments and long-distance or export shipping.
Uses & Applications
- Sealing double wall and triple wall cartons carrying heavy loads.
- Export and palletised shipments where a tamper-evident seal is required.
- Large boxes in warehousing, fulfilment centres and 3PL operations.
- Brands wanting plastic-free, fully recyclable carton sealing.
Suitable For
- Medium to very heavy boxes and high-volume despatch operations.
- Rough handling environments and long supply chains.
- Cartons stored in warehouses for longer periods (strong, stable seal).
How to Use
- Load the roll into a gummed paper tape dispenser (manual or electronic).
- The dispenser moistens the adhesive as it dispenses the tape.
- Apply a single central strip along the carton seam. For very heavy boxes, use an H-seal pattern (one central, two cross strips).
- Press firmly to activate the bond.
FAQs
- Q: Is this tape fully recyclable?
A: Yes – the kraft paper and starch adhesive can be recycled with the cardboard box. The internal glass fibre reinforcement is present in very small amounts and does not usually prevent recycling. - Q: Why choose 70 mm instead of 48 mm?
A: The extra width gives a larger bonding area and more strength on big or heavy cartons, reducing the risk of seam failure.
