Fast and efficient carton sealing demands high speed packaging
equipment and reliable box sealing tape. 3M is announcing
high-quality additions to both categories, each designed to improve
end-of-line carton sealing operations for any size
organization.
3M-Matic™ Random Case Sealer 7000r High Speed Pro/7000r3 High

Scotch® High Tack Box Sealing Tape 371+ adheres to a wide range
of materials, even corrugated boxes with 100% recycled content. The

moisture and scuffing; plus, it easily conforms around edges and on
rough surfaces for a tight seal.
Other innovative features of the Scotch® High Tack Box Sealing
Tape 371+ include:
- Tamper-evident, clear tape can be
custom printed to promote your brand; and
- Once applied, performs well at
temperatures as low as 30° F (-1.1°C)
- Quick, easy application by hand, manual
dispensers or 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers
- Availability in 48mm and 72mm
widths
“For unmatched adhesion to seal even the toughest boxes, the
371+ ensures they’ll stay closed throughout the supply chain – no
matter the percentage of recycled content, and even in cold
temperatures,” said Ryan Bjorklund, US Marketing Manager –
Packaging | Box Sealing Tape, 3M. “It’s an ideal sealing tape
option for food and beverage, electronics and e-fulfillment
industries.”
