Each day, millions of consumers expect packages from ecommerce fulfilment centres to arrive on time and undamaged. That means no bottlenecks or delays on high-speed packaging lines due to ineffective box sealing tape – an issue less likely to occur as a leading product in that space is now even better.
3M has therefore announced the availability of Scotch® high tack box sealing tape 375+, an industrial packaging tape used for box sealing, splicing, recouperage and other packaging applications. Building on the highly used and respected Scotch 375 product, Scotch 375+ provides a secure seal with one of the highest performance tapes of those with similar construction in the market, offering a quicker stick and hold than other packaging tapes.
With its consistent, pressure sensitive, high performance, hot melt synthetic rubber adhesive system, the upgraded tape adheres rapidly to a variety of surfaces. Coated with a 10% renewable component adhesive, it adheres well to heavier weight boxes and hard to stick corrugate boxes with up to 100% recycled content. The manufacturing quality helps resist splitting and edge tear.
“With Scotch high tack box sealing tape 375+, we’ve taken steps to assure boxes will stay closed throughout the supply chain journey, even in rough packaging or handling conditions. Durable and dependable, this upgraded product is another example of how 3M innovation provides excellent performance and secure containment for multiple applications,” said Justin Harris, box sealing tape marketing manager, 3M.
In a current product line application at a large ecommerce customer, Scotch 375+ performed with flying colours. The tape had a strong initial bond to boxes emerging from a case sealer, which prevented operators from having to stop production to retape any boxes – ensuring the high-speed packaging line ran with optimal efficiency.
