Self-Adhesive & Gummed Paper Tapes

Paper tape is a sustainable and effective solution for sealing cartons, boxes, and parcels while supporting eco-friendly packaging practices. Available in options such as gummed (water-activated), self-adhesive, and kraft paper tapes, it provides strong adhesion and tamper-evident security. Gummed paper tape activates with water to create a permanent bond with cardboard, while self-adhesive and kraft tapes offer quick, convenient application without additional tools. Fully recyclable and biodegradable, paper tape is ideal for warehouses, e-commerce, and shipping operations, combining durable sealing performance with environmentally responsible packaging.

Eco-Friendly and Strong Packaging Solution
Paper tape is an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional plastic tapes, providing strong adhesion while being fully recyclable with cardboard boxes. Ideal for e-commerce, retail, and shipping operations, it offers reliable sealing without compromising sustainability. Many types are water-activated, forming a permanent bond that reinforces carton strength and ensures secure packaging during transit, all while reducing plastic waste.
Custom Branding and Easy Application
Beyond functionality, paper tape can be customized with logos, designs, or printed messages, turning every shipment into a branding opportunity. Its ease of application—by hand or with tape dispensers—makes it efficient for high-volume packing operations. Strong, tear-resistant, and environmentally friendly, paper tape combines professional presentation with sustainable packaging practices, helping businesses meet both operational and ecological goals.

Paper Tapes – FAQ

Find answers to common questions about paper tapes.

What is paper tape?

Paper tape is an eco-friendly, recyclable tape made from kraft or crepe paper with a water-activated adhesive (gummed) or pressure-sensitive adhesive. It’s ideal for sealing boxes, cartons, and parcels sustainably.

What paper tape used for?

Sealing cardboard boxes for shipping and storage
Tamper-evident packaging with gummed paper tape
Eco-friendly alternatives to plastic-based tapes
Branding and custom printing for a natural, professional look

What types of paper tape are available?

Water-Activated (Gummed) Tape: Adhesive is activated by water; creates a permanent, tamper-evident seal.
Pressure-Sensitive Paper Tape: Self-adhesive; easy to apply like standard tape.
Printed Paper Tape: Custom logos, branding, or warning messages.

How does water-activated paper tape work?

A gummed adhesive layer is moistened (by hand, sponge, or automatic dispenser) and then applied to the box. Once dry, it bonds strongly with the cardboard for secure, tamper-evident sealing.

Brown Corrugated Paper Roll – Eco-Friendly Protective Wrapping for Packaging & Shipping

These Polythene Wicketed OBG Food Safe Bags have been a game-changer for our packing process. They’re the perfect size, really sturdy, and being food safe means we can use them with complete confidence.

The wicketed design makes them so easy to load quickly, which has saved us loads of time during busy periods. They’re clear, durable, and hold up well without splitting or tearing — even when packed full.

Great quality, great price, and they make our workflow so much smoother. We’ll definitely be sticking with these!

Wicketed Polythene OBG Food Bags – 305mm x 405mm + 120mm (Pack of 1000)

We’ve been using these Polythene Side Gusseted Food Safe Bread Bags for a while now, and they’re exactly what we needed. The quality is excellent — nice and clear so our bread looks great on display, and the gusset gives plenty of room for larger loaves without squashing them.

They seal easily, keep the bread fresh, and are strong enough that we never worry about tearing when we’re packing in a hurry. Being food safe gives us total peace of mind for our customers.

Honestly, they’ve made our packaging so much easier. Great product, great value — we’ll definitely keep ordering.

Bread Bags Side Gusseted Clear Perforated Polythene - 8" x 12" x 22" (Pack of 1000)

We’ve been using these Polythene Blue Tinted Tray Liners in our food production area, and they’ve proven to be a fantastic choice. The blue tint makes them easily identifiable — ideal for food safety protocols — while the polythene material offers excellent strength and durability.

They fit perfectly into our trays, helping to maintain hygiene and reduce the need for deep cleaning between batches. The liners seem to be leak resistant and reliable, even when handling moist or greasy products. They also make product handling faster and more efficient, especially when switching between different food types.

A must-have in my opinion.

We've been using this black polypropylene hand strapping for months now, and it continues to exceed expectations. It's lightweight yet impressively strong, making it ideal for bundling boxes, pallets, and irregular loads. The tensioning is smooth, and it holds securely without snapping or fraying — even under demanding conditions. A must-have for any warehouse, shipping operation, or business
