The reinforced gummed paper tape 70mm x 305m SAVE (GRT-70305S) is a water-activated tape built for businesses that seal a high volume of cartons and need a dependable, eco-friendly solution. Made from a natural kraft paper carrier with a starch-based adhesive, this tape is fully recyclable and biodegradable, making it a practical alternative to plastic packaging tape for operations with sustainability goals or compliance requirements.

Key Features of the Reinforced Gummed Paper Tape 70mm x 305m SAVE

• Water-activated fibre bond: When moistened, the starch adhesive penetrates directly into the fibres of the carton, creating a total bond that becomes part of the box itself rather than simply sitting on the surface. This makes the seal significantly more secure than standard pressure-sensitive tapes.
• Tamper-evident seal: Once applied, this tape cannot be removed from a carton without leaving a visible trace of damage. This makes it straightforward to identify interference during transit or storage, which is particularly useful for maintaining chain-of-custody confidence in fulfilment and distribution environments.
• 100% recyclable: The tape does not need to be separated from cardboard before recycling. Packaging research associations have accredited gummed paper tape as recyclable, making it a genuinely responsible choice for businesses looking to reduce plastic waste.
• 100% biodegradable and sustainable: The natural kraft paper carrier and starch adhesive break down naturally and are free from synthetic materials, supporting a closed-loop or zero-waste packaging approach.
• Bonds to low-grade or recycled cardboard: The adhesive works reliably on low-grade, previously used, or uneven carton surfaces, reducing the need for multiple overlapping strips and helping to lower material costs.
• Reduced tape usage and packing time: The strong, immediate bond means packers are less likely to apply extra strips, improving throughput and reducing cost per carton over time.
• 305-metre roll length: The extended roll length means fewer roll changes during high-volume packing runs, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime on the packing line.
• 70mm width: The broader width offers good coverage for larger carton flaps or heavier-duty sealing applications where a single strip needs to span a wider surface.
• Compatible with BP-555 Automatic Tape Dispenser: This tape is recommended for use with the Better Packages BP-555 automatic tape dispenser to reduce wastage and improve consistency across a packing shift.

Typical Applications

The reinforced gummed paper tape 70mm x 305m SAVE is well suited to warehousing and distribution operations that benefit from the long roll length and fast bonding action. E-commerce fulfilment centres and manufacturing packaging lines will find the tamper-evident properties useful for maintaining shipment integrity. The 70mm width makes it particularly suitable for larger carton formats or applications where a single strip needs to cover a wider flap. Any business transitioning away from plastic packaging tape for sustainability or compliance reasons will find this a practical, direct replacement that performs reliably on both standard and recycled carton stock.

Choosing the Right Roll Format

The reinforced gummed paper tape 70mm x 305m SAVE is designed for high-volume operations where minimising roll changes and maximising packing efficiency matters. It is part of a broader range of water-activated tape options available in different widths and roll lengths. If your operation processes lower volumes or uses smaller cartons, the Reinforced Gummed Paper Tape SAVE 70mm x 100m is also available and may be a better fit for your throughput requirements.
