3M 7000001196 Scotch 373 Sealing Tape Tan 2.83 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7000001196 is the Scotch 373 box sealing tape, a high-performance polypropylene packaging tape designed for securing heavy-duty cartons and boxes across a wide range of closure applications. At 2.83 inches wide, this tape uses a synthetic rubber adhesive on a polypropylene film backing that conforms around edges and adheres reliably to rough and recycled fiberboard surfaces. The backing resists abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and scuffing, making it a dependable choice for high-volume shipping and fulfillment operations. Packaging line operators and warehouse teams are the primary users of this product.

Scotch 373 tape is suited for both manual and high-speed automated packaging lines. Its easy unwind and smooth dispensing characteristics reduce downtime on case sealers and tape dispensers. The tape performs well on recycled liner paper and heavyweight corrugated fiberboard, including boxes used in ecommerce, single-parcel shipments, and industrial distribution. It is appropriate for both light commercial and heavy warehouse environments where consistent carton closure is required.

Installation Notes

Applied by packaging technicians and warehouse personnel using standard handheld tape dispensers or automated case-sealing equipment. Ensure the carton surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oil before application to achieve full adhesive contact. For automated line use, verify dispenser tension settings are compatible with the roll dimensions before running production. No tools or trade licensing are required for standard application.
