Why Water-Activated Tape Is the Best Choice for Secure Packaging

Water-activated tape stands out as the best choice for securing packages before you send them out to customers. Here are a few reasons why you should consider switching to water-activated tape for your packaging needs.

Strong Bond and Tamper Resistance

Reinforced water-activated tape can create a strong bond when applied to corrugated boxes. The adhesive penetrates the fibers of the cardboard, forming a strong, permanent seal. 

This makes it difficult for packages to be tampered with, as any attempt to open the box would leave visible damage. In contrast, plastic tapes can often be peeled off and resealed without obvious signs of tampering. 

Increased Durability

Water-activated tape is designed to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. Its reinforced paper fibers and water-activated adhesive provide a secure seal that resists tearing, punctures, and extreme temperatures. Whether your package is subjected to heavy handling or varying environmental conditions, water-activated tape holds up. 

Your customers will appreciate that you went the extra mile to protect their shipment. By maintaining a secure seal, water-activated tape reduces the risk of damage during shipping and can help reduce customer support claims and returns. 

Eco-Friendly Option

Water-activated tape is also environmentally friendly. It’s made from renewable materials like paper and plant-based adhesives. As a biodegradable and recyclable product, it represents a sustainable alternative to plastic tapes that contribute to landfill waste. 

Customizable 

Water-activated tape can also be customized. If desired, you can order branded tape that enhances the customer experience while also identifying packages that originate from your business. 

Customizability does not directly enhance the security of your packages. However, it is an important feature that can contribute to a more positive purchasing journey for customers.
