Frequently Asked Questions

How does water-activated tape work?

Water-activated tape uses a starch-based adhesive on kraft paper backing that becomes tacky when moistened with water. Once applied, the adhesive penetrates and bonds with the corrugated fibers of the carton, creating a permanent seal that becomes part of the box itself, unlike pressure-sensitive tapes that only stick to the surface.
