Kraft paper tape is an adhesive tape made of kraft paper for sealing boxes. Viskom offers two types: self-adhesive hot melt tape for fast manual packing, and water-activated tape with starch adhesive that soaks into the cardboard and makes the seal almost inseparable from the box.

Why choose paper tape
- Tamper evidence. A water-activated seal cannot be peeled off neatly, so opening is visible at once.
- Recycles with the box. No need to strip plastic tape before recycling.
- Writable and printable. Good for notes and logos.
- Works in the cold. Operating range −20 to +60 °C.

Frequently asked questions
Can I write on paper tape?
Yes. The matt kraft surface takes a marker or pen, so you can add an order number, a "Fragile" note or the packer’s initials. For branding there is tape with a custom logo.
Does paper tape hold in the cold?
According to the product specifications, Viskom paper tape works from −20 °C to +60 °C. This applies to both water-activated and self-adhesive rolls.
Reinforced or standard?
Reinforced tape (Stabil, Optimal) contains fibreglass threads and suits heavy boxes and large shipments. Standard tape is enough for clothing, cosmetics and light parcels. See reinforced kraft tape: choosing by box weight.
Paper or polypropylene tape?
Paper tape can be recycled together with the cardboard box without removing it, and water-activated adhesive bonds into the board, so the box is hard to open unnoticed. Polypropylene tape is cheaper, but it is plastic. Compare in kraft tape vs regular tape.
Water-activated or self-adhesive?
Self-adhesive (hot melt) tape sticks immediately and needs no equipment; the minimum order is 2 rolls. Water-activated tape (starch adhesive) needs a water dispenser such as the MiniTaper, but gives a stronger bond with the board. See water-activated or self-adhesive kraft tape.
