Youyi Group Water Activated Kraft Tape
Youyi Group Water Activated Kraft Tape is an eco-friendly carton sealing solution designed for businesses seeking reliable packaging performance while incorporating paper-based materials into their packaging operations. Made with kraft paper backing and starch glue adhesive, the tape is activated by water to create a strong bond with suitable corrugated cartons.
With its recyclable paper construction and easy-tear performance, Youyi Water Activated Kraft Tape is widely used for carton sealing in logistics, warehousing, e-commerce, manufacturing, and shipping applications.

What is Water Activated Kraft Tape?
Water Activated Kraft Tape, also known as gummed paper tape or water-activated paper tape, is a paper-based adhesive tape coated with a water-activated starch adhesive.
When moistened, the starch glue becomes tacky and bonds to the carton surface. Once applied correctly, the tape provides a secure seal while remaining integrated with the paper-based packaging system.
This makes water activated kraft tape a popular choice for businesses looking for an alternative to conventional plastic packaging tapes.
