3M 7000048657 Scotch 373 Sealing Tape Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7000048657 is Scotch 373 box sealing tape, a heavy-duty polypropylene packaging tape designed for secure closure of a wide range of box materials, including recycled fiberboard. The polypropylene film backing uses a synthetic rubber adhesive that conforms around edges and adheres to rough or uneven surfaces. It resists abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and scuffing, making it well suited for demanding shipping and fulfillment environments. The tape unwinds smoothly and is compatible with high-speed automated packaging lines. Sold in rolls with a minimum order quantity of 6.

Scotch 373 tape is used in warehouse, distribution, and fulfillment operations where reliable carton sealing is critical. It performs on standard corrugated boxes as well as heavy-weight and recycled fiberboard cartons. Its high edge tear and split resistance make it a practical choice for ecommerce operations, single-parcel shipments, and any application where boxes are handled repeatedly during transit. It is appropriate for both manual and automated tape dispensing equipment.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry box surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose fiber for best adhesion. Ensure the tape is pressed firmly across all seams and around edges using a tape gun or sealing machine roller. When using with automated packaging equipment, confirm roll core size compatibility with the dispenser before loading.
