The Wrap-Tite GTES70KAR-WT is a kraft paper water-activated tape designed for carton sealing in light to average-weight applications. This 70 mm (approximately 2.75 in) tape uses a starch adhesive and a 25 lb, 40 g/m2 kraft backing, providing a reinforced, fiber-based alternative to pressure-sensitive tapes. Packaged as a case containing 10 rolls, it is intended for two-strip top-and-bottom carton sealing and performs well on recycled cartons and non-unitized loads. Its kraft appearance and reinforced construction can help provide a durable seal for cartons up to typical light-to-moderate weights, supporting cleaner, tamper-evident closures when activated with water.
The product is supplied under the Wrap-Tite brand as the Wolverine 5.0/3.0 lineage of water-activated tapes, offering an economy-grade option suitable for standard shipping and storage workflows where moisture-activated adhesion is preferred over film-based tapes. The case quantity and pallet details (72 cases per pallet) reflect typical distribution requirements for facilities with regular carton-sealing needs. The combination of kraft paper and starch adhesive is chosen to enable a reliable seal on cartons that may encounter recycled or mixed materials during the packing and shipping process.
Considerations for buyers include ensuring the appropriate activation method and surface compatibility. Water-activated tapes like this one generally require proper moisture to activate the starch adhesive, so operators should have a compatible dispenser or hand-activation process. The product’s documented backing and thickness—5.5 mil overall—contribute to its rigidity and the seal’s integrity over the life of the carton, particularly for light-to-average loads and non-standard substrates. The listed packaging and case quantities support inventory planning for busy packing environments.
