FAQs
What is the main benefit of Scotch 371 Packaging Tape?
Its main benefit is reliable adhesion and durability for general-purpose box sealing, with a safe, solvent-free adhesive.
Is this tape suitable for heavy-duty shipping?
This is a general-purpose tape, suitable for standard shipping. For extremely heavy or fragile items, consider tapes specifically designed for heavy-duty applications.
What does '48-micron' refer to?
48-micron refers to the thickness of the polypropylene film backing, indicating its strength and durability.
Can I use this tape on plastic packaging?
The solvent-free adhesive is generally safe, but it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as adhesion may vary on different plastic surfaces.
Does the tape come with a dispenser?
No, this product is for the tape roll only. A separate tape dispenser is required for application.
How should I store the tape when not in use?
Store the tape rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the adhesive's effectiveness.
What are the dimensions of the tape?
The tape is 48mm wide and 48mm long.
Troubleshooting
Tape not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Press the tape down firmly after application.
Tape is difficult to tear from the dispenser
Ensure the tape is properly threaded through the dispenser and the cutting edge is clean and sharp. If the edge is dull, replace the dispenser or blade.
Tape loses adhesion over time
Store unused tape in a cool, dry place. Extreme temperatures or humidity can affect adhesive performance.
