3 in x 500 ft Reinforced Water Activated Tape – Kraft – 6 Rolls
Seal heavy corrugated cartons with reinforced water activated tape from Gpack Supplies. This kraft gummed packing tape measures 3 inches wide x 500 feet long and is reinforced to provide a secure, professional carton closure for warehouses, fulfillment centers, manufacturers, moving companies and commercial shipping operations.
Water activated tape, also called gummed tape or kraft paper tape, uses a water-activated adhesive that bonds directly to the corrugated carton surface. Once applied, the tape creates a strong paper-to-paper seal that can help reveal visible evidence when a box has been opened or disturbed.
Each case includes 6 rolls. This reinforced kraft tape is intended for use with compatible manual or electric water activated tape dispensers.
All dimensions are in inches and feet.

How Water Activated Tape Works
The adhesive must be moistened with water before application. A compatible gummed tape dispenser wets and cuts the tape to the selected length. The activated tape is then applied over the carton seam and pressed firmly against the corrugated surface.
As the adhesive bonds with the carton fibers, it creates a secure paper-to-paper closure. For best results, apply the tape to clean, dry corrugated cardboard and press it firmly across the complete seam.
Reinforced vs. Non-Reinforced Gummed Tape
Reinforced water activated tape contains strengthening material within the paper construction. It is generally preferred for heavier cartons, demanding warehouse operations and shipments requiring greater tape strength.
Non-reinforced paper tape can work well for lighter cartons and routine packaging. The correct option depends on carton weight, board condition, handling and transportation requirements.
Compatible Equipment
This tape requires a compatible water activated tape dispenser. It should not be placed in a standard handheld packing-tape gun designed for pressure-sensitive acrylic or hot-melt tape.
- Manual water activated tape dispensers
- Electric water activated tape dispensers

Confirm that the dispenser supports the tape width, roll length and reinforced construction before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is water activated tape?
Water activated tape is kraft paper carton-sealing tape with an adhesive that becomes tacky when moistened. It bonds directly to corrugated cardboard.
Is water activated tape the same as gummed tape?
Yes. The terms water activated tape, gummed tape and kraft paper tape are often used for the same type of carton-sealing product.
What size is this tape?
Each roll measures 3 inches wide by 500 feet long.
How many rolls are included?
Each case contains 6 rolls.
Does this tape require water?
Yes. The adhesive must be moistened before application.
Do I need a special dispenser?
Yes. Use a manual or electric water activated tape dispenser compatible with 3-inch reinforced tape.
Can I use it in a regular tape gun?
No. Standard tape guns are designed for pressure-sensitive tape and do not activate the adhesive on gummed paper tape.
Why use reinforced water activated tape?
Reinforced tape provides added strength for heavier cartons, demanding handling and commercial shipping applications.
Is water activated tape tamper evident?
Because it bonds to the carton fibers, opening or removing the tape can leave visible damage or evidence that the package was disturbed. It should not be described as a certified security seal unless supporting specifications exist.
Can it be used on recycled cartons?
It can work on many recycled corrugated boxes, but dusty, damaged, waxed or heavily contaminated surfaces may reduce adhesion.
Can it seal heavy boxes?
Reinforced gummed tape is commonly used for heavier cartons, but carton strength, product weight and the required tape pattern must also be considered.
Can it be used for export boxes?
Yes, it can be used as part of an export packaging system when the carton, contents and transportation requirements are appropriate.
Is kraft paper tape recyclable?
Paper-based tape may be accepted with corrugated cardboard by some recycling programs. Requirements vary by location and by the reinforcing material used.
How should unused rolls be stored?
Store the rolls in a clean, dry indoor location away from moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Is local pickup available in Miami?
Yes. Local pickup and fast delivery options available in Miami and Broward.
