3M 7000049629 Water Activated Paper Tape 3in X 375ft

Product Description

The 3M 7000049629 is a heavy-duty, water-activated paper tape designed for sealing medium-weight corrugated boxes in shipping and packaging operations. It features a natural kraft paper backing rated at 90 pounds basis weight, combined with a gummed, high-tack adhesive derived from a modified cornstarch base. The adhesive activates on contact with water, creating a strong bond that resists tampering and holds securely on corrugated surfaces. Each roll measures 3 inches wide by 375 feet long. Packaging and shipping professionals use this tape in high-volume fulfillment and warehouse environments where box integrity is critical.

This tape is suited for sealing medium-weight corrugated boxes in distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. Its water-activated adhesive system bonds directly to the box substrate, making it well-suited for applications where tape slippage or lifting is a concern. The natural kraft finish is standard for general-purpose industrial packaging operations.

Key Features

• Water-activated adhesive for a firm, tamper-evident bond on corrugated surfaces
• Natural kraft paper backing at 90 lb basis weight for heavy-duty performance
• Modified cornstarch-based adhesive system — no synthetic solvent adhesive
• 3-inch width covers standard box seam widths in a single pass
• 375-foot roll length reduces roll changes in high-volume taping operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard water-activated tape dispensers on medium-weight corrugated boxes in industrial and commercial packaging applications.

Installation Notes

Application requires a water-activated tape dispenser that wets the adhesive side of the tape immediately before application. Apply firm hand pressure across the full tape width to ensure complete adhesive contact with the box surface. Allow brief dwell time for the adhesive to set before moving sealed boxes. No solvent, heat, or electrical tools are required for standard application.
