Product Description

Hey HEROTAPE EXPRESS, Welcome to the HERO PACK! Instead of packing your express orders with plastic express tape, ensure your express orders are shipped fast with our PAPER EXPRESS TAPE! 

Our newest packaging HEROTAPE EXPRESS is water-activated and 100% compostable, and recyclable. And it's super sticky for your boxes or our HEROBUBBLE and HEROHEX padded mailers with paper on the outside.
Please note: water-activated tape can't be used on our non-padded HEROPACK mailers just yet (but keep an eye out for a solution on this soon!). 

Water Activated Tape (aka Gummed Tape) is paper-based packaging tape that gets activated by - yep you guessed it - water! Out with the chemicals and in with the renewable ingredients.

Just to make this magical tape even more magic-y, this water activated tape is stronger than regular plastic tape. That's because this has a cross-pattern of fibres to add strength.

Here are the details: 

  • Size 50mm wide x 50M long
  • Colour: Yellow background with red "Express Post" writing.
  • Made from the renewable and compostable plant-derived adhesive (made of hot melt corn starch adhesive) & paper backing.
  • Recyclable and compostable
  • The wood pulp used is 100% FSC certified recycled
  • The tape is dyed and printed using water-based ink to ensure the tape is recyclable and compostable.

Make your HEROTAPE EXPRESS look extra cute by pairing it with our HERODISPENSER in either blue or pink.

Perfect Tape for Eco-Conscious Small Businesses!

We’ve recently started using Herotape Express for our order packing and we’re genuinely impressed. The tape is strong, sticks beautifully to our compostable mailers, and adds a clean, professional finish to our packaging. As a brand focused on sustainability, it’s great to have an eco-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on quality. Delivery was fast and the whole process felt seamless. Highly recommend for any small biz looking to level up their packaging while staying planet-friendly!

Lasts Forever!

We use all compostable packaging for our small business and one roll of this Express tape lasts us ages! I just cut on the line provided and use one EXPRESS POST section for each of our boxes. It's big, it's sticky, and stands out! Thanks Hero <3
