Gummed tape, also known as water-activated tape or Kraft tape, is a type of adhesive tape that requires water to activate the adhesive. The tape is commonly used in packaging and shipping industries due to its strong adhesive properties. Synonyms for gummed tape include kraft paper tape, self-adhesive paper tape, reinforced paper tape, and strip tape. These tapes are made from kraft paper and cellulose fibers and are highly resistant to tearing and punctures. They are ideal for carton sealing, bundling, and palletizing applications. Gummed tape is an eco-friendly alternative to plastic tape and can be easily recycled.
