Nastro Water Activated Tape

If deciding to purchase gummed paper tape to seal packaging can be an advantageous economic and commercial objective for a company, it becomes essential to be able to choose the best characteristics of the tape by evaluating the specific needs of shipments.

In fact, in addition to the aesthetic improvements of the packaging and consequently of the image for the company, obtaining the guarantee of closure of the packaging is a remarkable and important result.

If we then add to the above the possibility of economic savings, the decision to switch to WAT is certainly valid and indispensable.

To best choose the type of WAT belt for the various packaging, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the product to be packaged, consider the production volumes and evaluate the equipment available at the end of the line.

Once the final choice for the consumables has been set, it’s necessary to determine in what form you want to “reach” the customer.

 Do you simply want to close the packages or also have a guarantee of closure of the packaging?

Professional experience and logistic market reports indicate that it is no longer enough to close the packaging in the traditional way, with plastic tape several times. The market and the customer consider it essential to guarantee the closure of the packaging (to ensure the inviolability of the contents) and the compliance of the same with the best green forms of disposal.

The use of WAT tape ensures that the packaging is impossible to open except for breakage or damage to the belt (which inevitably leaves a trace), ensuring immediate identification in the event of theft or theft of items from the packaging. In addition, with WAT, the packaging can be disposed of in a single solution because it is totally green.

How important do you think the image of the packaging is?

Any personal or professional choice is also subject to aesthetic and functional evaluation. This evaluation is particularly appreciated by customers, whether they are corporate or end users of the shipment. The image of a company is therefore also reflected in shipments and companies that use WAT optimize their brand image with the certainty of delivering intact, guaranteed and green packaging.

Tangible interest in green packaging

You don’t need to be an expert in the field to be aware that the environmental impact must be assessed; Minimizing this value is the direct responsibility of everyone, especially companies that, by effectively and transparently pursuing this important goal, obtain gratification and trust from customers.

How to choose the correct tape

With the knowledge that the product being packaged is of vital importance to any business, it is possible to determine the characteristics that the WAT tape must have to support the product being shipped, whether it is generic, pharmaceutical, high value, or simply commercial.

WAT tape offers all the safety guarantees and is available in a wide range of widths, lengths, types of reinforcement and weights that ensure concrete answers to every request.

Evaluate the weight of the packaging

If the shipment weighs less than 18/20 kg, the simple WAT paper tape can be used without sealing problems. For heavier weights, it is then possible to identify, among the various technical characteristics of the belts, the most suitable types for the weight to be shipped, having the possibility of choosing between sinusoidal reinforcements or with rhomboidal weave. The WAT tape, by sealing with the surface of the cardboard, forms a “single body” with the packaging, guaranteeing, with a single strip of tape, safety and high-level performance.

In conclusion, we hope that the above can be of help in evaluating the best possibilities of choice; In any case, we are always happy to provide further specific information on the subject.
