1. What is water-activated tape, and how is it different from regular tape?
Water-activated tape (WAT) is a kraft paper-based tape with a starch adhesive that bonds permanently with the carton surface once moistened. Unlike regular plastic tape, it creates a tamper-evident seal, offering stronger adhesion and improved sustainability.
2. What are the advantages of sealing cartons with a WAT Dispenser?
Using a WAT dispenser ensures consistent tape length, faster packing efficiency, and a professional, secure carton seal. It reduces material waste and enhances the customer's unboxing experience.
3. What is the difference between electric and manual WAT Dispensers?
Electric Dispenser (e.g., EG100): Automatic moistening, programmable tape length, and higher efficiency for medium-to-large volume packing.
Manual Dispenser (e.g., MG80): Simple, cost-effective, and ideal for small businesses or low-volume use without electricity.
4. How strong is the adhesion and tamper resistance of water-activated tape?
Once applied, water-activated tape (WAT) penetrates carton fibers and forms a permanent bond that cannot be removed without visible damage. This provides excellent tamper resistance and protects products throughout the supply chain.
5. Does a WAT Dispenser require frequent maintenance?
No. Both electric and manual dispensers are designed for durability and low maintenance. Routine cleaning of the water tank and brush ensures smooth operation.
6. Can the tape width and length be customized?
Yes. LockedPaper supports custom specifications for both tape length and width to meet unique carton sealing requirements.
7. Is water-activated tape suitable for humid or low-temperature environments?
Yes. Our EG100 Electric WAT Dispenser comes with a built-in heating module that automatically adjusts moisture temperature, ensuring strong adhesion even in humid or cold conditions.
8. Is it worth investing in a WAT Dispenser for small businesses?
Absolutely. For small businesses, a WAT Dispenser provides secure, professional packaging, reduces tape usage compared to traditional tape, and builds brand credibility with eco-friendly, tamper-proof sealing.
