The job it is listed for
A mixed dispatch desk starts from the goods. Gummed paper tape is the water-activated paper seal. It bonds to corrugated board. Wholesale Packaging keeps Gummed paper tape as its own range so it is not picked as a film packing tape.
The range includes the Xtegra water-activated tapes, in standard and reinforced versions, and the dispensers that wet them. The tape is described as recycled paper, biodegradable and recyclable.
The line that is not a substitute
A film tape sticks to the surface. Gummed tape needs water and the dispenser. They are not spares for each other.
Reinforced gummed tape is the stronger paper seal. Standard is the everyday paper seal. Pick that before the length.
Bringing it in
A week that has switched to paper tape uses the dispenser every day. A spare roll does not help if the dispenser is dry.
A Friday order on Wholesale Packaging that includes Gummed paper tape aims for Monday. A bank holiday on Friday or Monday moves that delivery. The 3pm cutoff is still the same-day dispatch rule.
Open Gummed paper tape when you already know this line. Rolls are the unit. The dispenser is a separate line and does not arrive inside the tape pack. Wholesale Packaging will still dispatch an order placed by 3pm on the same day.
