Water-activated tape (WAT), also known as gummed tape, kraft paper tape, or brown paper tape, provides a stronger and more secure seal for cartons, while also streamlining your packaging process. Once you decide to use WAT, the next step is to choose the appropriate type of dispenser.   Should You Choose a Manual or Electric Water-Activated Tape Dispenser?   The first decision when selecting a WAT dispenser is whether to go with a manual or an electric model. Several factors influence this choice, including:   1. Price & Efficiency: If you have a moderate to high volume of packaging, we recommend our electric water-activated tape dispenser, KN-366H, which significantly boosts efficiency and supports infrared sensor-based tape dispensing. For smaller packaging needs, we suggest cost-effective manual or pull-type dispensers such as KN-266 and KN-166, both of which are compatible with WAT.   2. Ease of Maintenance: Manual dispensers contain no electrical components, making them much easier to maintain.   3. Access to Power at the Packing Station: Whether your packing station has a power supply is clearly a key factor. For environments without easy access to electricity, we offer the KN-366BHP, a model equipped with a lithium battery.   4. Tape Size: If you require large tape rolls, consider our KN-366HL, which supports a maximum tape roll diameter of 500mm (19.7 inches) and core diameters ranging from 38 to 76 mm (1.5 to 3 inches). This reduces the frequency of tape replacement and enhances packaging efficiency.   Features of JL3’s Various Water-Activated Tape Dispenser Models:   Electric Water-Activated Tape Dispenser – KN-366H IntelliSense Cutting Technology: Smart sensor-based cutting for increased precision and efficiency 12 Preset Tape Lengths: Fully programmable for various packaging needs Tape Length Accuracy ±5mm: Ensures consistency and minimizes waste Total Box Count Setting: Helps track packaging progress Auto Dispensing Every 3 Seconds (Programmable): Ideal for continuous packaging workflows This model is designed for high-efficiency, high-demand packing environments.   Battery-Powered Electric WAT Dispenser – KN-366BHP IntelliSense Cutting Technology: Smart sensor cutting for improved precision and speed Faster Tape Dispensing Speed: Higher throughput than standard models 12 Preset Tape Lengths: Fully programmable Tape Length Accuracy ±5mm Total Box Count Setting Daily Tape Usage Log: Facilitates tracking and inventory management Auto Dispensing Every 3 Seconds (Programmable) This model is ideal for mobile or off-grid packaging stations, such as temporary setups or warehouse areas with limited access to power.   Large-Capacity Electric WAT Dispenser – KN-366HL Supports Tape Widths from 36–76 mm: Compatible with various widths without adapters Imperial/Metric Scales Included: For precise measuring 25 Preset Tape Lengths in 1-Inch Increments:...

Water-Activated Tape (WAT), also known as gummed tape, is a durable and effective carton sealing solution made from kraft paper and a starch-based adhesive. Unlike traditional pressure-sensitive tapes, WAT becomes adhesive when activated by water, allowing it to form a secure bond with the surface of corrugated cardboard. This article explores how water-activated tape works and its significance in the context of transportation, packaging, and environmental sustainability. How Water-Activated Tape Works and Its Environmental Benefits Water-activated tape is manufactured with a natural starch-based adhesive that remains dormant until it is moistened. Once activated by water, the adhesive forms a strong bond with the fibers of corrugated cardboard. This bond is so secure that the tape essentially fuses with the carton, creating a tamper-evident seal. Furthermore, since the tape is made of paper and starch, it is recyclable, biodegradable, and even compostable—making it an environmentally responsible choice. The application process includes: Activation: The starch adhesive on WAT is dry and inactive when on the roll. To activate it, the tape must pass through a water-activated tape dispenser, which applies an even layer of water to trigger its adhesive properties. Application: Once moistened, the tape is applied to the surface of the box. The adhesive interacts directly with the cardboard fibers, allowing for a rapid and much stronger seal compared to most pressure-sensitive tapes. Bonding: The moist adhesive penetrates the fibers of the carton material. As it dries, the bond becomes permanent, making the tape extremely difficult to remove without visibly damaging the package. Tamper Evidence: One of the key advantages of WAT is its enhanced security. Any attempt to open the package will result in noticeable damage to the carton, making tampering immediately evident. Why Water-Activated Tape Is an Ideal Packaging Solution Water-activated tape is particularly favored in the e-commerce, logistics, and shipping industries for several compelling reasons: Strength and Durability: WAT provides a robust seal that withstands the rigors of transportation, rough handling, and varying environmental conditions. Its strength makes it a preferred solution for both light- and medium-duty packaging. Tamper Resistance: Because the tape forms a permanent bond with the carton, any unauthorized opening attempt will leave clear signs of tampering—adding a valuable layer of security during transit. Cost Efficiency: While the initial cost of WAT may be slightly higher than pressure-sensitive tape, its ability to seal cartons with a single strip can reduce material use and long-term packaging costs. Sustainability: All water-activated tapes are made from renewable materials and can be easily recycled along with cardboard boxes. For businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact, WAT offers a sustainable packaging alternative. Conclusion Water-activated t...

In the e-commerce, logistics, and manufacturing industries, sealing efficiency and packaging quality directly affect the operational efficiency of the supply chain.   The water-activated tape dispenser, with its advantages of automatic moistening, precise cutting, strong adhesion, and eco-friendly sustainability, is becoming an important tool for companies to optimize their packaging processes.   The Core Value of the Water-Activated Tape Dispenser   Increase Sealing Efficiency and Optimize Workflow Traditional sealing methods rely on manual cutting and pasting, a process that is cumbersome and time-consuming. In contrast, the water-activated tape dispenser automatically moistens the water-activated tape and precisely cuts it to the required length, greatly increasing sealing speed. For e-commerce companies or warehousing centers processing a large number of orders daily, improved sealing efficiency means higher operational performance and lower labor costs.   Ensure Sealing Quality and Improve Cargo Safety When water-activated tape (WAT) contacts water, it forms a permanent bond with carton fibers. Compared to traditional plastic tape, its adhesion is stronger, and once sealed, it cannot be reopened. This not only prevents cartons from opening during transit but also effectively reduces the risk of tampering or theft, making it suitable for high-value goods or international logistics.   Reduce Packaging Costs and Material Waste The precise cutting function controls the tape length used for each seal, avoiding overuse of tape and reducing material costs. Additionally, water-activated tape typically requires only a single strip to complete sealing, without the need for repeated applications. Compared to traditional plastic tape, this effectively reduces tape consumption.   Conform to Environmental Trends and Support Sustainable Development As global packaging regulations become increasingly strict, companies must consider environmental requirements when selecting packaging materials. Water-activated tape is made from biodegradable paper, and together with cartons, it is fully recyclable, helping to avoid plastic pollution. When used with a dispenser, it not only reduces unnecessary tape consumption but also meets ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, assisting companies in achieving sustainable packaging goals.   How to Choose the Appropriate Water-Activated Tape Dispenser   When purchasing a water-activated tape dispenser, consider the following key factors:
