SR Mailing offers a wide, varied and comprehensive range of premium gummed paper tapes that have been designed to deliver a secure, permanent seal for parcels and boxes. These tapes are heavily relied upon by both businesses and individuals, where strong adhesion, evidence of tampering and long-distance shipment security are essential. Once applied, the tape forms a bond with the cardboard itself that cannot be removed without clear visible damage. This helps to protect goods from interference during transit and is so noticeable that it can help determine when in the process it was damaged.
Manufactured from durable kraft paper, SR Mailing’s gummed tapes use a starch-based, water-activated adhesive that is dry to the touch until moistened. When activated with water, the adhesive becomes tacky and penetrates the surface of corrugated cartons, creating a firm, long-lasting seal. Both non-reinforced and reinforced variants are available. The non-reinforced option is ideal for light-to-medium weight parcels, while the reinforced version incorporates cotton fibres for even more added layers of strength. This makes it suitable for heavier cartons and demanding shipping conditions.
These gummed tapes are widely used for sealing cardboard boxes, cartons and parcels in e-commerce fulfilment, warehouses, logistics operations and bulk shipping environments. Their strong adhesion reduces the need for multiple tape layers, improving packing efficiency while maintaining package integrity throughout storage and transportation.
Sustainability is a key advantage. Made from paper with a potato starch adhesive, these tapes are plastic-free, biodegradable, recyclable and fully compostable, making them an excellent choice for businesses seeking eco-friendly packaging solutions without compromising on performance.
Additional benefits include a clean, professional appearance, improved security against tampering and the option for custom printing to reinforce brand identity. As a trusted and experienced supplier, SR Mailing is committed to delivering high-quality packaging solutions that meet industry standards, offering reliability, sustainability and confidence with every shipment.
