Scotch® Box Sealing Tape 311 features a biaxially oriented polypropylene film backing with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. We tested the adhesion capabilities of this tape in wide temperature swings and moist environments, proving it is suitable for colder and damper applications with easy handling and smooth dispensing.
Medium duty sealing tape, also known as packing tape or adhesive tape, is designed to securely close regular slotted containers (RSC) and packages used for moving, shipping and distribution. The tape's durability and high hold works especially well on challenging recycled corrugate and fiberboard. Because it is economical and reliable, medium duty sealing tape is popular with manufacturers of food and beverages, sporting goods, piping, metal fabrications, automotive parts and furniture. The tape can be applied with a portable hand-held dispenser or stationary definite length dispenser.
This tape works well on boxes weighing up to 70 lbs.
