The UK Industrial Tapes Gumstrip Roll is an ideal solution for packaging professionals and fine artists who require a high-strength, water-activated adhesive for permanent bonding. Measuring 50mm x 200m, this 70gsm brown paper tape provides a reliable, eco-friendly alternative to plastic packaging tapes, though it requires a brief preparation step with water to activate the gummed surface before application.

Yes, because it is made from paper with a water-activated adhesive, it is generally easier to recycle alongside cardboard boxes than plastic tapes.
It provides the best bond on porous surfaces like cardboard and paper, which allow the gum to penetrate the fibers.
Yes, it is specifically designed for artistic applications like stretching watercolor paper.
You can use a damp sponge, a wet brush, or a specialized water-activated tape dispenser.
Yes, once the water-activated adhesive has dried, the bond is designed to be permanent and tamper-evident.
Store it in a dry, cool area away from high humidity to prevent the adhesive from activating prematurely.
Ensure the adhesive side is sufficiently moistened and that the surface being taped is clean and dry.
Use less water or apply the tape immediately after wetting so it does not over-saturate and become fragile.
Check the storage environment to ensure it is dry; if the roll has been exposed to high humidity, the gum may have activated prematurely.
To use the gummed tape, you must first apply moisture to the gummed side using a damp sponge, a dedicated water-activated tape dispenser, or a damp cloth. Once the gum becomes tacky, press the tape firmly onto the desired surface. Ensure the surface is free of dust or oils to achieve the best bond.
Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct humidity to prevent the gummed side from becoming prematurely tacky or sticking to itself. Keep the unused portion of the roll in its original packaging if possible to maintain optimal adhesive freshness.
