3M 7000124806 Water Activated Paper Tape 72mm X 450ft

Product Description

The 3M 7000124806 is a light-duty, water-activated paper tape designed for sealing corrugated boxes in shipping and packaging operations. It features a fiberglass-reinforced natural kraft paper backing combined with a high-tack water-activated adhesive that bonds aggressively to corrugated surfaces once moistened. The tape is rated for boxes weighing up to 30 pounds, making it well suited to standard parcel and distribution center applications. Each roll measures 72mm wide by 450 feet long, providing extended run length per roll. Installation requires a water-activated tape dispenser. Warehouse staff and shipping department personnel are the primary users.

This tape is used in light-duty corrugated box sealing applications across retail fulfillment, warehouse distribution, and general shipping environments. The water-activated adhesive creates a strong fiber-to-fiber bond with the box surface, resisting lifting and tampering during transit. It is a practical choice wherever a reinforced paper tape is specified in place of pressure-sensitive film tapes, particularly when box integrity and tamper evidence are priorities.

Key Features

• Fiberglass-reinforced kraft paper backing resists tearing during application and transit
• High-tack water-activated adhesive bonds to corrugated surfaces without additional pressure tooling
• Rated for corrugated boxes weighing up to 30 pounds
• 72mm wide format provides broad seam coverage on standard box flaps
• 450-foot roll length reduces roll changeover frequency in high-volume operations
• Natural kraft finish is compatible with standard water-activated tape dispensers

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard water-activated tape dispensers on light-duty corrugated boxes weighing up to 30 pounds.

Installation Notes

Apply using a compatible water-activated tape dispenser that wets the adhesive immediately before dispensing. Ensure the corrugated surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oil before taping. Press the moistened tape firmly onto the box seam and allow a brief dwell time for the adhesive to set before moving the sealed carton.
