Gummed Water Activated Tape Dispensers

Our range of water activated tape dispensers offer a secure, professional seal that can’t be matched by standard packing tapes. Using an integrated water reservoir, these dispensers moisten the gummed paper tape as it’s fed through, creating a strong bond that is both tamper-evident and fully recyclable. They are a practical choice for businesses looking to improve packing efficiency while supporting sustainable packaging practices.

We supply options for every level of operation – from the manual BP333 for lower volume packing to high-speed electronic models such as the OM700 from Optimax and BP555 from Betterpack, designed for busy packing lines. Whether you’re upgrading an existing setup or introducing water activated tape for the first time, our dispensers are built for reliability and consistent performance across a wide range of carton sealing applications. Most models in our range include a manufacturer-backed warranty for added peace of mind.

FAQs

A water activated tape (WAT) dispenser is designed specifically for gummed paper tapes. It applies water to the tape as it dispenses, activating the adhesive so it bonds securely to cardboard. This creates a strong, tamper-evident seal that can’t be removed without damaging the carto

Manual dispensers operate without electricity, making them portable and easy to position anywhere in the packing area. Electronic dispensers require power but can speed up tape application and are often chosen for higher volume packing lines.

Most dispensers are designed for 48-70 mm wide gummed paper tape, although some models can accommodate other widths. Always check the specifications before purchasing tape to ensure compatibility.

Most water activated tape dispensers come with a manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule, which should be followed to keep the machine running smoothly. This usually includes cleaning the water brushes or reservoir to prevent adhesive build-up, checking the feed mechanism, and replacing worn blades or brushes when required. Regular upkeep ensures consistent tape application and extends the life of the dispenser.

Choosing the Right Water Activated Tape Dispenser

Selecting the right dispenser and tape combination can make a noticeable difference to packing speed, operator comfort and seal consistency. We stock a variety of water activated tape options, including different widths and both reinforced and non-reinforced grades, so you can match the tape to your product weight, carton type and handling conditions. Our team can advise on the most suitable setup for your operation, whether you need a standard manual dispenser for occasional packing or an electronic model for higher volume. Many businesses choose water activated tape for its strong, paper-based construction, which is widely recyclable and supports more sustainable packing processes without compromising performance.
