3M 7010302432 Scotch 371 Box Sealing Tape Tan 2.83 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010302432 is the Scotch 371 industrial-grade box sealing tape in tan, 2.83 inches wide. It is designed to securely close medium-weight corrugated and cardboard boxes in demanding packaging environments. The polypropylene film backing bonds with a synthetic rubber adhesive that conforms to edges and rough surfaces, delivering a tight seal even under mechanical stress. Moisture, abrasion, and scuffing resistance make it suitable for warehousing, distribution, and light manufacturing applications. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors who run shipping operations, as well as industrial packaging professionals, rely on this tape for consistent performance on manual and automated lines.

Scotch 371 is used across general industrial packaging operations where medium-duty closure strength is required. It performs well on high-speed automated packaging equipment and manual dispensers. The tape meets FDA guidelines for indirect food contact, making it appropriate for food distribution and fulfillment centers. It is sold in pack quantities with a minimum order quantity of 4 packs, suited for operations that cycle through tape at volume.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry box surfaces free of dust, oil, and moisture for maximum adhesion. On automated packaging lines, verify dispenser roller tension and blade settings before loading a new roll. When applying manually, use a dispenser with a clean blade to ensure a straight cut and firm edge seal. Store unused rolls in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance.
