About Kraft Tape
Kraft tape, also known as paper tape, is an eco-friendly packaging solution used to seal boxes with a natural, professional look. Made from kraft paper with either water-activated or pressure-sensitive adhesive, it forms a strong bond with corrugated surfaces. Kraft tape is ideal for businesses seeking recyclable, biodegradable materials that don’t compromise strength. It resists tearing and tampering, creating a secure seal that enhances package presentation. Common in e-commerce and sustainable operations, kraft tape combines reliability and environmental responsibility for modern packaging needs.

How To Choose
Choosing the right Kraft tape starts by understanding your packaging needs. For lightweight sealing or simple paperboard packages, non-reinforced Kraft tape offers a cost-effective solution. For more demanding applications, such as sealing heavy boxes or export shipments, reinforced Kraft tape with fiberglass strands provides added strength and durability. Flat back Kraft tape is ideal for splicing and graphic arts due to its smooth surface and strong adhesion. If you prefer a water-activated solution, look for gummed Kraft tapes, which offer a permanent bond to corrugated surfaces.
Self-adhesive Kraft tapes are convenient for quick applications without the need for a dispenser. Always consider the tape width and length based on your package size and shipping conditions. Printed Kraft tape can also be utilized for branding or communication purposes, adding professionalism to your shipments. Additionally, ensure compatibility with environmental conditions, especially if moisture or temperature fluctuations are a concern.
