Water Activated Tape

WrapTite reinforced carton sealing tapes: Water-Activated Reinforced Gum Tape, which bonds when the gummed adhesive is moistened in a dispenser, and Self-Adhesive Reinforced (SAR) Tape, which sticks like a pressure-sensitive tape with no water. Both carry reinforcing fibers in the paper, which resist splitting and tearing on heavy or overpacked cartons. Gummed tape bonds into the carton fibers, so it shows tampering when it is lifted. Sold by the case.

Questions about Water Activated Tape

Do I need a dispenser for water-activated tape?
Yes, gummed tape is activated with water, so it needs a wet tape dispenser. If you don't have one, our self-adhesive reinforced (SAR) tape gives a similar reinforced seal without water.

Economy or industrial grade?
The grade is in the product name: economy-grade reinforced tape for general boxes, industrial grade for heavy or high-value cartons.

How many rolls are in a case?
6 to 18 rolls depending on tape type and roll length; each option shows its case pack.

How fast does it ship?
Most items ship in 1–3 business days; special-order and drop-ship items vary by vendor.

Can I get a better price on a larger quantity?
Larger quantities often price lower. In your cart, use "Request a quote for this cart" (or our Request a Quote form) for a volume price.
