Kraft Paper Tape is a pressure sensitive paper tape that is stronger than the standard masking tape. It requires no water or use of a hand-held dispenser to apply.
Unlike water-activated “Gummed” tape, our Kraft Paper tape is a unique blend of paper backing and pressure sensitive natural and synthetic adhesives that adhere to a given surface when light pressure is applied.
To help identify the best tape to meet your needs, let’s take a closer look at some of our premium Kraft Paper tapes and their applications.
