Gummed Tapes

Gummed Tapes are adhesive paper tapes that are used for securely sealing cartons, packaging, and transporting goods. These tapes use a special kind of adhesive called a water-activated adhesive that creates a strong bond with the carton materials when wet.

They are commonly used in warehouses, export packaging, logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, and commercial agreements. Gummed Tapes offer robust sealing capabilities that prevent cargos from opening during the transport process.

Gummed Tapes are made of paper material which allows these tapes to be eco-friendly packaging materials. They can be recycled with cardboard boxes thus allowing companies to minimize the amount of plastic waste.

These tapes are available in reinforced and non-reinforced options depending on the type of packaging weight and requirements. They ensure safe and professional finishes for all cartons.
