How Many Types Of Paper Tape?

Masking Tape

Masking tape is a type of paper tape with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and it's used to mark off areas for painting, decorating, and other similar tasks. It is made to be easily removed without causing any residue or surface damage. Additionally, the tape can be used for labeling and crafting projects.

Kraft Paper Tape

Kraft paper tape is made of kraft paper and pressure-sensitive adhesives, and is eco-friendly and biodegradable, making it a sustainable alternative to other packaging tapes. This tape is strong and durable, commonly used for sealing boxes and packaging. 

Gummed Paper Tape (Water-Activated Tape)

Gummed paper tapes are 100% recyclable, re-pulpable, and therefore eco-friendly. The adhesive coated on the kraft paper tape is starch-based. This type of tape is an economical packaging that will meet the needs of numerous industries and general industrial applications such as food, beverage, medical pharmaceutical, paper, print, electronics, or shipping.

Adhesive

Contains starch-based adhesives such as potato starch

Contains polymer-based coating and hot-melt glue adhesive

Activation

Need water to activate

Pressure-sensitive activation

Strength

It is very strong and offers an unmatched bond

It has a lower peel strength so the bond is not as strong as gummed paper tape

Pilferage

Anti-pilferage, long-lasting, and highly secure

A weaker bond means it can be tampered with and pilfered

Duration

Can hold for long durations

Can hold for shorter durations

Temperature Conditions

Resistant to extreme temperatures

Impacted by extreme temperatures and dust

Sustainability

100% biodegradable

The adhesive is not recyclable, but as it's less than 10% of the overall weight of the product, this type of tape is still kerbside recyclable.
