Product Overview
Ecoxizhi kraft paper tape is a high-performance, eco-friendly packaging tape designed for carton sealing, shipping, and heavy-duty packaging applications. Made from premium kraft paper with strong adhesive systems, this tape offers a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging tapes (such as BOPP or PVC tape) while delivering reliable sealing performance.
Kraft paper tape is available in two main types to suit different packaging needs:
Water-Activated Kraft Paper Tape (Gummed Tape) – Requires moisture to activate the starch-based adhesive, forming a permanent bond with cardboard fibers. Ideal for heavy-duty sealing and tamper-evident packaging.
Self-Adhesive Kraft Paper Tape – Features a pressure-sensitive adhesive (hot melt or rubber-based) that bonds instantly without water. Ideal for fast-paced packing environments.
Both options are 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and plastic-free — making them the ideal choice for businesses looking to reduce plastic waste in their packaging operations.
What Is Kraft Paper Tape?
Kraft paper tape — also known as kraft tape, paper packaging tape, or gummed tape — is a type of adhesive tape made from kraft paper as the backing material. It is widely used for sealing cartons, securing parcels, and general packaging applications.
Key characteristics include:
Paper-based backing – natural kraft color that blends well with cartons
Writable surface – convenient for marking product names, batch numbers, or handling notes
Eco-friendly – 100% recyclable and biodegradable, eliminating the need to remove tape from cardboard before recycling
Strong adhesion – permanent bond that resists lifting and tampering
Easy tear – hand-tearable for quick application

What is the difference between water-activated and self-adhesive kraft tape?
Water-activated tape uses a starch-based adhesive that bonds permanently with carton fibers when moistened. Self-adhesive tape uses a hot melt or rubber-based adhesive that bonds instantly through pressure.
Is kraft paper tape recyclable?
Yes. Kraft paper tape is 100% recyclable and can be recycled with cardboard — no need to remove the tape before recycling.
Is kraft paper tape biodegradable?

Yes. Ecoxizhi supports custom width, length, color, printing, and adhesive type.
What is the difference between kraft paper tape and plastic tape?
Kraft paper tape is made from paper — it is recyclable, biodegradable, and writable. Plastic tape (BOPP/PVC) is made from petroleum-based materials — it is not biodegradable and must be removed before recycling.
What products can be sealed with kraft paper tape?
It is suitable for corrugated cartons, shipping parcels, heavy-duty packaging, retail packaging, craft projects, and industrial applications.
Does kraft paper tape require special equipment?
Water-activated tape requires a dispenser with a water unit for high-volume operations. Self-adhesive tape requires no special equipment — just peel and stick.
