FAQs
What makes Scotch Box Lock tape 'extreme grip'?
The 'extreme grip' refers to its advanced adhesive formulation, which provides a stronger initial tack and a more tenacious bond, especially on difficult surfaces and under stress, ensuring boxes stay sealed during rough handling.
Can this tape be used on plastic or other surfaces?
While primarily designed for cardboard boxes, the advanced adhesive may offer good adhesion to some plastics. However, testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended before full application, as performance on non-cardboard surfaces is not guaranteed.
Is the tape difficult to remove?
Due to its strong adhesive, once applied and sealed, it is designed to be permanent for shipping security. It is not intended for easy removal or temporary sealing.
How many rolls are included in a 'Pack of 6'?
A 'Pack of 6' includes six individual rolls of Scotch Box Lock Packaging Tape.
Does the tape leave residue when removed?
As a permanent packaging tape, it is not designed for removal without leaving residue or potentially damaging the box surface. It is intended for single-use sealing during shipping and handling.
What are the dimensions of the tape (width and length)?
Product specifications typically include width (e.g., 2 inches) and length per roll (e.g., 50 yards). Please refer to the product packaging or specific retailer listings for exact dimensions.
Is the dispenser reusable?
Yes, the included dispenser is designed to be refillable with compatible tape rolls.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not sticking well.
Ensure the box surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For recycled boxes, ensure the surface is smooth and not excessively porous. Press the tape firmly onto the surface.
Dispenser is not cutting the tape cleanly.
Check the cutting edge for any debris or damage. Ensure the tape is aligned correctly with the cutting blade. If the blade is dull, consider replacing the dispenser or blade if possible.
Tape splits or tears during application.
Apply the tape smoothly and avoid sharp, jerky movements. Ensure the tape is applied evenly across the surface. The tape's thickness should prevent most tearing issues.
Tape loses adhesion in extreme temperatures.
While designed for a wide range, ensure proper application in extreme cold or heat. For very extreme conditions, allow the tape and box to acclimate slightly if possible before sealing.
