Water Activated Tape Printers
Industrial Printing Solutions for Secure & Sustainable Packaging
What is a Water Activated Tape Printer?
A Water Activated Tape Printer is an industrial-grade machine designed to print custom branding directly onto water activated tape (gummed paper tape). Unlike standard tape applicators, these machines combine printing and tape application in one seamless process, creating professional, tamper-evident seals with your company branding.
Available in digital printing for short runs and flexo printing for medium to high-volume production, water activated tape printers offer businesses a cost-effective way to enhance brand visibility while maintaining package security.
Why Use a Water Activated Tape Printer?

Warning & Safety
Print FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE, THIS SIDE UP and other warning messages for improved handling.
Anti-Counterfeit
Add holographic effects, unique codes, or hidden patterns to protect products from tampering.
Traceability
Print batch codes, QR codes, and tracking information for better inventory management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between digital and flexo printing?
Digital printing is ideal for short runs and variable data (different designs per roll), with minimal setup time and cost. Flexo printing offers lower per-unit cost at higher volumes and can print on a wider range of tape materials including WAT and PP tapes.
What print widths are available?
Desktop printers handle up to 250mm width. Log Roll printers offer 72mm or 144mm options. Jumbo Roll printers can handle widths from 300mm up to 1306mm for large-scale operations.
What tape materials can these printers handle?
Desktop Digital printers work with standard water activated tape rolls. Log Roll Flexo printers handle both WAT and PP tapes. Jumbo Roll Flexo printers are designed specifically for water activated tape (WAT only).
How do I choose the right printer for my business?
For small buyers ordering 1-10 rolls, the Desktop Digital Printer offers quick setup and low initial investment. For orders of 10+ rolls, the Log Roll Flexo Printer provides better economics with options to print 10 rolls (72mm) or 20 rolls (144mm) simultaneously. For large-scale factory production, the Jumbo Roll Flexo Printer handles widths from 300mm-1306mm with the highest efficiency.
