What Is Gummed Paper?
Gummed paper is a material coated with a thin layer of water-based adhesive, typically of natural (plant-based) origin. The adhesive is activated when exposed to water, turning sticky and allowing quick, permanent application to various surfaces.
Once dried, the adhesive hardens to create a firm and neat bond that resists peeling. This makes water-activated adhesive paper ideal for use as paper banderole, label, paper wrapper, or as packaging material with an added security function.
