How Water-Activated Tape Enhances Packaging Efficiency and Security
Water-activated tape forms a strong bond with cardboard and other paper-based packing materials. In doing so, the adhesive creates a secure seal. And as a bonus, it’s easier to apply than plastic tape.
Are you considering switching from plastic adhesives to water-activated tape? Making this simple change to your packaging processes can promote security and help your team get orders out the door more efficiently. Here’s everything you need to know.
Security Benefits of Water-Activated Tape
Water-activated tape creates a tamper-proof seal. The tape forms a strong bond with the box it’s applied to, making it nearly impossible to remove without tearing the underlying packaging.
When using this kind of tape, your team will only need to apply a single strip to securely seal the box. This feature makes it difficult to conceal any tampering attempts.
The strong seal also reduces the risk of the box coming open during transit. This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of product damage, which improves the customer experience and protects your bottom line.
Efficiency Advantages of Water-Activated Tape
Your employees will likely need to apply multiple strips of plastic tape to seal packages, a process that’s wasteful and time-consuming.
Alternatively, they’ll need just a single strip of water-activated tape to secure each package. Your team members will save precious seconds on each box, which can translate to several hours of labor reduction per employee over any given month.
Cutting back on tape usage is also great for the environment. You can use less packaging material and reduce your overhead costs. Water-activated tape truly benefits everyone, including your company, employees, and customers.
