Benefits of Paper Water-Activated Tape (WAT) vs Plastic Tape:

Here are several benefits of using WAT instead of plastic tape:

2. Improved carton strength
3. Increased package security

5. Decreased material waste

Corrugated cartons are commonly sealed in a number of ways, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, depending upon the application for which it will be used.
