Scotch 7000001196 Packing Tape 3in Natural Rubber

Product Description

The SCOTCH 7000001196 is a polypropylene packing tape engineered for box closing and carton sealing applications. It features a rubber adhesive system that bonds quickly to corrugated surfaces and holds under a range of warehouse and shipping conditions. The tape measures 3 inches wide and 50 meters in length per roll, with a film thickness of 2.5 mil and a tensile strength rated at 60 pounds per inch. At 0.48 pounds per roll, it is lightweight enough for high-volume use. Part of the 3M Scotch Series 373, this tape meets the A-A-1684B standard, making it appropriate for regulated shipping and distribution environments.

This tape is suited for residential moving, light industrial packaging, distribution centers, and general warehouse sealing operations. Its 3-inch width provides broad coverage per pass, reducing the number of strips needed to secure standard shipping boxes. The natural color finish works across a range of carton types. It is commonly applied by hand or with a tape gun dispenser in packaging and fulfillment settings.

Key Features

• Rubber adhesive bonds reliably to corrugated cardboard and kraft surfaces
• 2.5 mil polypropylene film resists splitting and tearing during application
• 60 lb/in tensile strength supports secure carton closure under transit stress
• 3-inch width reduces passes needed per box, improving sealing speed
• 50-meter roll length per unit minimizes roll changes in high-volume settings
• Meets A-A-1684B standard for use in regulated packaging applications

Compatibility

Designed for use as a general-purpose box sealing and splicing tape compatible with standard hand-held tape dispensers and tabletop dispensers accommodating 3-inch core tape rolls.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry carton surfaces free of dust, grease, or moisture for best adhesion. Use a compatible 3-inch tape dispenser to ensure consistent tension and straight application. Avoid stretching the tape during application, as this can reduce bond strength. Store unused rolls away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve adhesive performance.
