How to Use Water Activated Kraft Paper Tape

Update: February 25, 2023

Kraft paper tape is a versatile and durable tape that is often used for packaging and sealing. 

Here's how to apply kraft tape effectively with a kraft tape dispenser and sponge:

To load the dispenser: Open the kraft paper tape dispenser and insert the kraft paper tape roll. Make sure the tape roll 

is properly positioned and ready to dispense.

Wet Sponge: Moisten a damp sponge or cloth with water. The sponge will be used to activate the adhesive on the kraft tape, making it stickier and more effective.

Cut the tape: Take a length of kraft tape and use the cutter on the dispenser to cut the tape to the desired length. The cutting knife should be sharp and easy to use.

Tape: Apply the tape to the surface to be sealed and activate the adhesive with a damp sponge. Apply pressure to the tape to ensure it adheres firmly to the surface.

Repeat as needed: Continue dispensing, cutting and applying tape until entire surface is sealed. Use the sponge to activate the adhesive on each piece of tape as you go.

Tips for using kraft paper tape

Use the right amount of water: too much water will make the tape too sticky, while too little water will make it difficult to stick to the surface. Use a damp sponge or cloth, do not get wet.

Use just the right amount of tape -- don't use too little tape, but don't use too much either. Use enough tape to securely seal the surface, but not so much that it is bulky.

Use a high-quality tape cutter: A good kraft tape cutter will make this process easier and more efficient. Find a tape cutter that is sturdy and easy to use.

Use high-quality tape: Choose strong, durable high-quality kraft paper tape. This will ensure your wraps and surfaces remain sealed and secure.

Follow these easy steps and tips and you can effectively apply kraft tape using a kraft tape dispenser and sponge.
