What Are Kraft Paper Tapes?
Kraft paper tapes are paper-based, pressure-sensitive tapes designed to seal shipping boxes, e-commerce parcels, and general packaging.
They are made from natural kraft paper, which makes them:
- 100% recyclable
- Plastic-free
- Biodegradable
- Easy to dispose after use
Kraft paper tapes are now one of the fastest-growing sustainable packaging choices for modern brands.
Why Brands Are Switching to Kraft Paper Tapes
- They Are Fully Recyclable & Eco-Friendly
Kraft tapes eliminate the need for plastic. Since they are made from paper, they can be recycled along with the carton box — no segregation needed.
- Strong Adhesion for Shipping Boxes
Designed to bond quickly with corrugated surfaces, kraft tape offers:
- Better sealing
- Stronger hold during courier handling
- Reduced risk of tampering
Perfect for D2C, fashion, lifestyle, FMCG, and beauty brands.
- Clean, Premium Packaging Look
Kraft tapes give parcels a neat, minimal, modern finish.
They look better than glossy plastic tapes and elevate the unboxing experience.
- Reduced Tape Consumption
Plastic tapes need 3–4 layers. Kraft tapes need just one.
This saves material, reduces wastage, and lowers long-term packaging cost.
- Great for Branding
You can custom-print your kraft tape with:
- Logos
- Brand messages
- Icons
- Patterns
Every shipment becomes a branding opportunity.

- Use the provided spray bottle to evenly wet the adhesive side.
- Place the tape on the box seam while it’s still damp.
