One of the key advantages of water-activated tape is its strength. Once activated, the starch-based adhesive creates a strong bond with the surface it is applied to, making it ideal for securing heavy or bulky items. Additionally, water-activated tape is tamper-evident, meaning that it is difficult to remove without leaving evidence that the package has been opened. This makes it a popular choice for shipping high-value or sensitive items.

To use water activated tape, you need to activate the adhesive by watering the tape. This can be done using an automatic tape dispenser. Which one to use can be selected according to your own packaging needs. Once activated, the tape can be applied to the surface you wish to bond, taking care to smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. The tape then dries and forms a strong, permanent bond.
