3M developed this tape to be very well suited for light duty applications, including box closing, strapping, palletizing, box reinforcing and general bundling. The adhesive provides good initial adhesion and holds well with minimum rub-down. The tough, clear film backing is abrasion and moisture resistant, provides good aging and protects the filaments and adhesive to help your boxes remain closed for a long period of time. The backing, filaments and adhesive combine to provide high tensile and shear strength and also allow printing and illustrations to be seen through the tape. This tape gives you good holding under a wide range of application conditions with a minimum amount of tape, leading to lower cost for applications where high tensile strength is a main requirement.

3M's line of filament-reinforced tapes and strapping tapes are high strength, reliable and affordable solutions that give you product and package integrity. For closing boxes, stabilizing pallets, bundling and reinforcing; securing appliance components during transport and easy-open tear strips, these high strength tapes provide important benefits for manufacturers of piping, metal products, furniture, appliances, automotive parts, sporting goods, as well as food and beverage processors.
