The Special of the kraft gum tape is that The back of the kraft paper is pre-coated with starch adhesive (eco-friendly plant-based glue). It is non-adhesive in a dry state. Upon contact with water, the adhesive layer swells and activates to deliver initial tack. After pressing and lamination, moisture evaporates, and the glue cures to form strong bonding strength.There also have 2 types kraft gum tape on the market，one is normal tape, another is reinforced Tape. The reinforced tape greatly enhanced tensile strength. Built-in fiber reinforcements (fiberglass/plant fiber) deliver superior longitudinal tension resistance. The tape resists stretching and breakage, offering far higher load-bearing capacity than ordinary non-reinforced kraft paper tape, and prevents splitting when packaging heavy goods. Ideal for heavy-duty packages. Perfect for large goods, heavy items, full-carton shipments, cross-border long-distance logistics and palletized packaging. It maintains stable performance while ordinary tape is prone to snapping. You can choose the tape based on the package weight and shipping distance.
