Globe Packaging now stocks two distinct eco-packaging solutions intended to help UK businesses overcome regulatory pressures while aligning with sustainability demands. Xtegra-branded water-activated gummed tape and PacPlan-branded kraft paper tape are available via the company’s online store, announced as alternatives to traditional plastic options.

The UK Plastic Packaging Tax notably imposes a £223.69 per tonne charge on businesses importing over 10 tonnes of plastic annually. This has created a financial incentive for companies to transition away from conventional plastic tape.
As such, Globe Packaging points to gummed and kraft paper tape as suitable choices while also noting their measurable environmental advantages. Both tape options are recyclable and biodegradable – allowing businesses to dispose of packaging materials within existing corrugated box recycling infrastructure while reducing their tax liability and carbon footprint.
Technical specifications support the sustainability and performance claims central to these offerings. Globe Packaging explains that both materials are designed to maintain reliable performance across diverse operational environments, with the team outlining a variety of advantages in full.
Water-activated gummed tape delivers functional security benefits that address e-commerce theft prevention concerns. When moistened, the tape bonds directly with cardboard fibres, creating a permanent, tamper-evident seal that can’t be penetrated without visible tearing – a crucial feature for high-value shipments.
Meanwhile, PacPlan kraft paper tape offers self-adhesive convenience with natural rubber adhesive and resistance to moisture and humidity for operations requiring immediate application without dispensing equipment.
Both product ranges are stocked for next working day delivery within the UK mainland. The Xtegra water-activated tape is available in standard and reinforced versions across 48mm and 70mm widths, whilst PacPlan kraft paper tape comes in biodegradable brown and white options at 50mm width.
