FAQ
How durable is this product?
Our Kraft Tapes are made from waterproof kraft paper and high-bonding natural rubber glue. While this makes the tape 100% recyclable, a paper-based tape is always going to have slightly less strength than one made from PP foil. For extra strength, check out our Packaging Tapes.
How many colours can I print on the tape?
Your kraft tape can be printed with up to 3 colours.
How should my customers recycle this kraft tape? Is it recyclable at all?
These tapes are 100% recyclable since they are made from kraft paper and natural rubber glue. No need to rip off the tape from your mailer or shipping boxes. Your customer can just throw the box into paper recycling with the tape left on. Easy as that!
Which of the tapes is stronger?
Our Packaging Tapes made from super durable PP foil will always win in a competition of strength. But our Kraft Tapes win hands down in the sustainability stakes.
Is this tape water-activated or not?
Nope. The rubber adhesive in our Kraft Tapes is not water activated. Unlike water-activated tape (WAT), our kraft tape doesn’t require any expensive tape dispensers that apply water during sealing. It has been designed to fit a standard 50mm wide/75 mm core tape gun.
Can the print be continuous?
Sure.
