Kraft gummed tape A0401 – ecological, reliable and secure closure
The A0401 gummed tape is an economical and efficient packaging solution, designed for sealing cartons in logistics, industrial and e-commerce environments.
Its water-activated, plant-based adhesive penetrates deep into the cardboard to create a sealing effect. Unlike conventional adhesive tapes, it doesn't just stick to the surface: it fuses with the substrate.
This process guarantees:
a sturdy closure
enhanced security
excellent durability
Water-activated operation
The adhesive only becomes active after moistening, which allows:
a manipulation without unwanted gluing
precise positioning (adjustable assembly)
optimal adhesion after drying
Using it with a DERFI humidifier dispenser optimizes:
water consumption
the regularity of application
the production rate
Tamper-evident closure with sealed effect
The A0401 gummed tape works by water activation, which allows the glue to penetrate directly into the fibers of the cardboard.
Unlike conventional adhesive tapes, it does not just stick to the surface but creates a real bond with the substrate.
This property allows:
- to guarantee a tamper-proof closure
- to immediately detect any attempt to open
- to ensure the integrity of the package during transport
This type of sealing is particularly suitable for sensitive or high-value shipments.
Water-activated plant-based adhesive
The adhesive mass is composed of a plant-based glue made from starch.
It only becomes active upon contact with water, which completely changes the use of the tape.
This system allows for:
- clean handling without unnecessary gluing
- better control of the application
- activation only at the desired time
This technology makes the product both practical and efficient.
Eco-friendly and recyclable solution
The strip is made exclusively of kraft paper and vegetable glue.
It is therefore fully compatible with paper and cardboard recycling channels.
This allows:
- to recycle the cardboard without removing the adhesive
- to reduce the use of plastic
- to meet the environmental requirements of companies
It is fully in line with a CSR approach.
Repositionable before drying
After activation, the glue requires a short drying time before reaching its maximum performance.
During this phase, the ribbon can be adjusted.
This allows:
- precise positioning on the cardboard
- the correction of application errors
- a better quality of closure
This advantage improves the working comfort of the operators.
Easy opening for the recipient
Unlike reinforced or plastic tapes, kraft gummed tape does not require a tool to be opened.
It can be torn directly by hand.
This allows:
- a quick opening of the packages
- a better user experience
- a reduction in the risk of injury
Printable and customizable support
Kraft paper can be printed on to meet communication or identification needs.
This allows:
- to add a logo or a message
- to strengthen brand image
- to transform the adhesive into a marketing medium
It's a simple way to increase the value of shipments.
Compatibility with reels and machines
The A0401 gummed tape is designed for use with suitable wetting agents and dispensers.
It allows:
- homogeneous activation of the glue
- a cut to the desired length
- a regular application
It is notably compatible with DERFI equipment such as the DNT-AT.
Suitable for logistics environments
Available in long lengths and easy to use, this tape integrates easily into logistics flows.
It allows:
- for use on manual or automated workstations
- an adaptation to high production rates
- a standardization of packaging operations
It thus meets the requirements of logistics centers and e-commerce.
