FAQ
What sort of tape does this use?
This dispenser uses water activated gum tape. gummed tape is the ultimate eco-friendly case taping method. Made from natural kraft paper carrier and starch adhesive it’s 100% sustainable, 100% biodegradable and 100% recyclable without having to be
segregated from cardboard.

 

Are water-activated tape dispensers expensive?

The cost of a water-activated tape dispenser depends on whether you get a manual, semi-automated or a fully automated dispenser. Fully automated tape dispensers are necessary for busy packing rooms where there is a high output of parcels. Fully electronic machines are good for stopping repetitive strain injury and for saving on excess use of tape. Manual tape dispensers are the more affordable option with fewer features and suitable for a smaller production line.

Do I need a manual or an electronic gummed paper tape dispenser?

A manual or an electronic gummed paper tape dispenser depends on your level of productivity. If you have a busy mailroom and need a fast tape dispenser then we would recommend the Better Packages Electronic Tape Dispenser. This dispenser can seal over 100 cartons per eight-hour shift without overheating and saves staff from acquiring repetitive strain injury. We have a range of manual dispensers such as tape shooters and pull and tear dispensers for the slower-paced mailroom that come well designed and built as more affordable options.

How do I use water activated tape to seal my carton?

It’s important to get the dampened tape from the dispenser to your carton as soon as it shoots out. Apply it from the middle and spread outwards along the seal until it has smoothed and formally bonded with the carton. It will take a few seconds to set.

Is BondTape tamper evident?

Yes it is. As BondTape bonds with the inner corrugated layer of cardboard, it can’t be pushed in like plastic tapes that only float on the surface. It becomes tamper evident if interfered with. Plastic tapes are pressure-sensitive, so will lift off the cardboard and the seal is breached and items can be removed. The plastic tape can be stuck back down without evidence of the breach.

Is it more productive to used gummed paper tape than pressure sensitive tapes?

Since water-activated tape is dispensed from a benchtop mechanism, it eliminates repetitive strain injury that is caused by tape gun dispensers typically used to apply pressure-sensitive tapes. Due to the superior bonding properties of gummed paper tape, only one strip is needed. While other tapes can be less expensive, over-application of pressure-sensitive tapes to secure a decent seal takes more time and uses more tape. It is more productive to use gummed paper tape in the long run.

Is water activated tape environmentally friendly tape?

Water-activated tape is environmentally friendly. Gummed paper tape is made from 100% recycled paper and cardboard. Unlike alternative cellophane or other plastic-type tapes, it doesn’t need to be removed from the carton when recycling. This incentivises staff to recycle cartons because all they have to do is flatten the cartons without separating tapes off before putting them in the waste stream.

What is gummed paper tape used for?

Gummed paper tape is used to seal corrugated cardboard cartons. Water activates the gummed adhesive which seeps into the interior corrugated layer of the carton and forms a strong bond, becoming part of the carton. Water-activated tape cannot be used on glossy, printed cardboard cartons as it might be prevented from bonding. Also if a company logo is printed on the carton then Kraft paper water-activated tape is opaque and will obscure the graphics. This can be overcome by printed branding on some paper tapes.

What is gummed paper tape?

Also known as water-activated tape, gummed paper tape is usually made from brown Kraft paper and water-activated adhesive. This tape is ideal for sealing corrugated cardboard cartons. When the tape is applied, it bonds with the inner corrugated layer of the carton, creating a tamper-proof seal. It can’t be pushed in with pressure. It literally becomes part of the cardboard carton. At Packline we sell Bond Tape reinforced gummed paper tape.

What is pressure-sensitive tape?

Adhesive tapes that are pressure sensitive float on the surface of a carton and will either unstick or tear off a surface when pushed. For example, when two flaps of a carton are sealed together by pressure-sensitive tape it is easy to push in the flaps creating a breach in the seal.
