For strength, durability, and recyclability, you can’t go far wrong with gummed paper tape - it’s a very popular choice here at Challenge Packaging. The strength of gummed paper tape is the reason why many choose it; the water activation creates a bond stronger than that achieved by self-adhesive tapes. This makes it the ideal choice for international shipping, thanks to its resistance to humidity and temperature changes. 

Gummed paper tape is a strong, eco-friendly tape used for securing packages; it requires water to activate the glue adhesive, which creates a robust bond between the paper tape and the material it has been applied to.
