Gummed Paper Tape and reinforced Gummed Paper
Tape are modern products, applied using a range of
dispensers, from small hand-held applicators, through to
fully automatic case sealers.
Because of the strength of plain and reinforced
Gummed Paper Tape and its ease of adjustment after
application, much less - and narrower - tape can be used,
compared with filmic tapes.
There is a considerable material and labour cost
advantage to be gained.

Let’s focus on some of the advantages
unique to Gummed Paper Tape.
* An integral closure
The water-activated adhesives in Gummed Paper Tape penetrate
right into the liner of the carton, creating a total bond.
The tape has become part of the carton and adds strength to it.

*
Tamper evidence
Gummed Paper Tape cannot be removed from the carton
without leaving traces of damage. Such a closure provides
protection against theft. Specialist tamper-evident reinforced
Gummed Paper Tape is available to give even more protection.
*
i00%
recyclability
Gummed Paper Tape is made from renewable natural resources,
which makes recycling easier. Packaging research associations in
Germany (PTS), the Netherlands (TNO) and the United Kingdom
(PIRA) have all accredited Gummed Paper Tape as recyclable.
Use of Gummed Paper Tape on cartons eliminates additional
recycling costs.
*
Temperature-tolerant
Even extreme variations in temperature do not change the
characteristics of Gummed Paper Tape. In extreme heat, sunshine,
humidity and cold, it still maintains its seal strength.
The closure is resistant to aging as well. Even after many years,
the contents will not be exposed.

Gummed Paper Tape sticks well to a wide range of products, including soiled and dusty
cartons. * Gummed Paper Tape will not adhere to plastic products, making it the ideal
material to wrap packs of bin-liners and refuse sacks. * Gummed Paper Tape and
reinforced Gummed Paper Tape are strong, making them ideal for very heavy cartons.
The bottoms will not burst! * Gummed Paper Tape is odorless - ideal for the food
industry. * Gummed Paper Tape is hygienic, making it ideal for pharmaceutical products.
Using a mitred seal ensures a complete seal, keeping unwanted dirt out.
* Gummed Paper Tape will hold firm, even when sealing over-filled cartons
clothing. * Gummed Paper Tape does not stretch, making it ideal
for bar-code readability. * Gummed Paper Tape’s strength and
tamper-evident qualities makes it ideal for high-value products,
ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES
such as alcohol and jewelry. Gummed Paper Tape’s printability
rther adds safety, by enabling batch and transport information to be
?d onto the tape at the very moment of closing the boxes.
* Gummed Paper Tape’s last-minute printability also enables users to print
product information onto the tape, so that fewer pre-printed boxes are needed.
This alone can bring considerable savings.

BACK TO THE FUTURE
Gummed Paper Tape and reinforced Gummed Paper
Tape have always been very effective carton sealing
materials. They have advantages and benefits found
in no other closure method.
Gummed Paper Tape is a contemporary sealing
solution. It has been improved over the years by a
program of continuous technological development.
It is also environmentally friendly, as it is made from
natural raw materials and is

recyclable.
The International Federation of Manufacturers of Gummed
Paper, FIPAGO, was established in 1957 to ensure the continual
technological improvement of Gummed Paper Tape, as well as
standardization towards applications and dispensing machinery.
What began as a group of European manufacturers has now
grown into an international organization, combining the creativity
and experience of the entire global gummed paper industry:
producers, converters, and raw material and equipment suppliers.
Members in countries worldwide are working together to
satisfy the requirements in a sophisticated manner for needs
posed by modern society. FIPAGO promotes and investigates
every aspect of marketing and technical applications related to
production and marketing needs, including recommending and
providing suitable application equipment to its members.
