Self Adhesive Paper Tape
Self adhesive paper tape is a pressure-sensitive tape that bonds instantly to cardboard without water or heat. It forms a strong, tamper-evident seal that visibly damages the carton if removed, making it ideal for securing shipments where integrity and security are critical. The tape is made from paper with an aggressive adhesive layer, allowing it to conform to corrugated surfaces and resist peeling during transit.
- Instant bond to cardboard without water or heat activation
- Tamper-evident seal that shows visible damage when removed
- Strong adhesive holds through shipping and storage without re-opening
- Conforms easily to curved or uneven carton surfaces
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.

How It Compares With the Alternatives
Where another material is the better answer we say so, because a returned shipment costs more than a lost order.
| Water-activated tape | No water or dispenser needed; instant application in cool environments where water can freeze |
|---|---|
| Standard pressure-sensitive tape | Stronger adhesive and tamper-evident seal that visibly damages the carton when removed |
| Plastic tape | Biodegradable paper backing with lower environmental impact, though less resistant to moisture |
| Double-sided tape | Designed for sealing cartons, not for holding large loads or repeated handling |
How to Use It
Select the required length of tape by hand tearing along the perforated edge
Press the tape firmly onto the carton seam to ensure full contact
Apply even pressure across the entire seal to prevent lifting
Store unused rolls in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight
Avoid applying in high humidity or extreme temperatures if not specified
