This is a kraft paper packaging tape with a water-activated starch adhesive for sealing cardboard and paper parcels. Once moistened and applied, it dries to form a neat, secure seal with a natural kraft finish. Because the tape is paper-based, it is easy to write on and sits neatly on boxes without the plasticky look of conventional packing tape. It is a parcel-sealing tape for cardboard and paper surfaces, not a peel-and-stick plastic tape.

♡ Why we love it: This tape gives parcels a much cleaner, more considered finish than standard plastic tape. It feels practical, tidy, and easy to work with, especially when you want packaging that looks simple and natural.
