Description
The gummed paper tape 70mm x 100m is a practical water-activated paper tape for carton sealing, dispatch and general packaging work. This kraft brown roll is supplied in a 70mm x 100m size and is designed for businesses that want a cleaner, more secure alternative to standard plastic packaging tape.
Gummed paper tape is activated with water before it is applied to the carton. Once applied, the adhesive bonds with the carton surface to create a strong paper-to-paper seal. This makes it well suited to cardboard cartons, online order packing, warehouse dispatch benches and general industrial packaging operations.

Why Choose Gummed Paper Tape?
The paper carrier and water-activated adhesive create a clean carton seal without relying on plastic packaging tape. Unlike pressure-sensitive plastic tape, gummed paper tape is not simply stuck to the surface. When correctly moistened and applied, it becomes part of the carton seal. This can improve presentation, reduce loose tape ends and make cartons easier to identify if they have been opened or interfered with.
This SAVE version is best treated as the value option within the range while still using the same practical water-activated tape principle. It can be used in a wide range of packing environments, including e-commerce dispatch, spare parts packing, retail supply, manufacturing, stock rooms and warehouse order fulfilment. For businesses packing cartons every day, switching to paper tape can also help create a more professional and environmentally conscious packaging image.
Typical Applications
This tape is commonly used for general carton sealing, dispatch work, e-commerce orders and businesses wanting to reduce plastic tape use. It is particularly useful where cartons need to look tidy and consistent when they leave the warehouse. The 70mm x 100m format gives operators a defined roll size to work with while still allowing the tape length to be cut to suit each carton.
Where product presentation matters, the kraft brown finish helps create a clean packaging result. White tape is often chosen for lighter cartons, branded packaging or applications where printed labels and carton markings need a neat background. Brown kraft tape is often chosen for standard cardboard cartons and general warehouse packing.
Using This Tape in a Packing Area
For the best result, use the tape with a suitable water-activated tape dispenser. The dispenser wets the adhesive side of the tape and cuts the required length for the carton. Manual dispensers suit lower-volume packing benches, while electronic dispensers are useful where operators are sealing cartons repeatedly through the day.
When planning a packing station, consider the carton size, carton weight, packing volume and whether reinforced or standard gummed paper tape is more suitable. Standard gummed paper tape is often enough for lighter cartons, while reinforced gummed paper tape is the better choice for heavier cartons or higher-value shipments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gummed paper tape?
Gummed paper tape is a paper-based carton sealing tape with a water-activated adhesive. The adhesive is moistened before application so the tape can bond firmly to the cardboard carton surface.
Is this tape suitable for cardboard cartons?
Yes. It is designed for sealing cardboard cartons and is commonly used in dispatch, warehouse and general packaging environments.
Should I choose standard or reinforced gummed paper tape?
Standard gummed paper tape is suitable for many general carton sealing jobs. Reinforced gummed paper tape is better for heavier cartons, high-value goods or applications where extra seal strength is required.
What dispenser should I use?
Use a compatible manual or electronic water-activated tape dispenser. The best dispenser depends on how many cartons are packed each day and how quickly operators need to work.
