Kraft Paper Tapes
Kraft paper tape is a paper-based alternative to plastic packing tape. Brown kraft paper with a strong adhesive seals cartons firmly, and because the tape is paper, a box sealed with it is easier to recycle than one sealed with plastic tape.
We offer kraft paper tape in self-adhesive and water-activated (gummed) types, for example brown 48 mm x 50 m rolls for carton sealing. Tell us the width, length and quantity you need for a quote.
Need only a few rolls for your own use? Small packs of kraft paper tape are sold on our group's online store, PackSmith. For bulk, export and custom-size orders, send us an enquiry and we will quote.

It's Economical, Eco-Friendly and Efficient!
It is an economical way to seal cartons with paper instead of plastic. The tape sticks neatly to the box and holds until it is torn open, so it also shows if a carton has been opened or tampered with on the way.
Water-activated (gummed) kraft tape bonds into the carton surface, which makes it a good choice for heavier and overfilled boxes.
Alternative to Plastic, PVC or Polypropylene Tapes!
Kraft paper tape does the job of plastic, PVC or polypropylene (BOPP) tape with a paper backing. A carton sealed with paper tape can go into paper recycling without anyone peeling off plastic tape first, which is why many brands and online sellers are moving to it.
Kraft Paper Tape - Benefits
1. Paper backing: a carton sealed with paper tape can go into paper recycling with the box, where paper is collected. The kraft paper backing is biodegradable and compostable.
2. Strong hold: the adhesive grips the carton, and the tape tears the box surface if someone tries to peel it, so tampering shows.
3. Water-activated option: gummed kraft tape bonds into the carton fibres and suits heavy and overfilled boxes.
4. Printable: the tape can be printed with your logo or a message.
5. Tears by hand: easy to use on small jobs without a dispenser.
Paper tape is not waterproof. Keep sealed cartons dry, and use BOPP tape where boxes may stand in rain or high humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose self-adhesive kraft tape if you pack a modest number of boxes and want to use a normal tape gun, because it works just like plastic tape. Choose water-activated (gummed) tape for heavier or overfilled boxes and for a tamper-evident seal, because it bonds into the carton fibres. Gummed tape needs a wetting dispenser, so it pays off mainly at higher packing volumes.
Usually not. Paper tape goes into paper recycling along with the carton, which is the main reason buyers move to it from plastic tape. Plastic tape, on the other hand, has to be screened out at the paper mill. Local recycling rules differ, so check with your waste collector if you are not sure.
48 mm suits most ecommerce and shipping cartons. For large or heavy boxes, a wider tape such as 72 mm covers more of the flap and holds better. Our standard roll is brown, 48 mm x 50 m, and we can make other widths and lengths to order. Send your size and quantity through our contact page for a quote.
Self-adhesive kraft tape is good for light and medium cartons. For heavy or overfilled boxes, water-activated tape is the better choice, because it becomes part of the carton surface instead of sitting on top of it. Tell us your carton size and packed weight and we will suggest the type and width.
The usual causes are a dusty or very rough recycled carton, a cold packing area, or not pressing the tape down. Wipe dusty boxes and rub the tape firmly along its full length. With gummed tape, too little water gives a dry, weak bond and too much water washes the glue away, so set the dispenser brush correctly.
