Water-activated tape dispensers and gummed paper solutions

Imballaggi Pk could not have missed Interpack, where, as usual, the concern appeared as a guest at the stand of German firm HADE, with which it has been working together for many years.

The company, based in Vigevano (PV) found a lot of enthusiasm for both its EME series paper label gluers and its gummed paper solutions for closing boxes. In particular, the new stainless steel EME 180 ST model, suitable for use in humid or dusty environments, was appreciated for its extreme versatility with preserves, while EME 180 proves a suitable solution for tax banderoles.

Also garnering a lot of attention in Düsseldorf were the Better Packages line of water-activated tape dispensers by the American firm IPG (for which Pk is the exclusive reseller in Italy). Thanks to its intrinsic properties, gummed paper is making a comeback in packaging because it safeguards the box from any tampering while also making the packaging more sustainable and making it possible to personalize the tape with logos and colors. Economical as well, this tape requires just one strip for a perfectly sealed closure.
