3M packaging tapes
Reliable packaging solutions for dispatch, warehousing and logistics processes.
3M’s packaging tapes offer excellent tear resistance and high adhesive strength. They enable reliable sealing of cartons and shipping packaging – from light goods to heavy or particularly stressed transport items.
Thanks to their smooth unwinding, the tapes can be applied efficiently both manually with hand dispensers and using carton sealing machines. Even under demanding transport conditions, they ensure a stable and secure carton seal, thereby contributing to a smooth dispatch process.
The extensive product range includes various designs to meet a wide variety of requirements in the shipping and packaging sector. These include, among others, the high-performance 3M 311+ Packaging Tape, the particularly robust 3M 375E High-Performance Packaging Tape, and the strong-adhering Scotch 371 Packaging Tape. The range is complemented by other tried-and-tested products such as the sustainable 3M 570 High-Performance Paper Packaging Tape, the quiet-unwinding 3M 309 Packaging Tape, the moisture- and chemical-resistant 3M PVC 6890 Packaging Tape, and 3M Tartan 369 All-Purpose Adhesive Tape, each of which has been developed for specific applications in the professional packaging sector.

Scotch® Packaging Tape 309 is ideal for use on lightweight cardboard boxes and film packaging. It consists of a biaxially oriented polypropylene backing and an acrylic-based emulsion adhesive, which can be removed from some surfaces without leaving any residue shortly after application. Thanks to its UV and moisture resistance, it can also be used outdoors. Furthermore, its abrasion and shear resistance ensure long-lasting performance. Despite its high adhesive strength, the tape is characterised by smooth and quiet unwinding. Application to the surface to be bonded is therefore effortless, particularly when used with the Scotch® H-150 and H-180 hand dispensers. This ensures you have durable and secure packaging with FDA approval.
Mainly used for sealing cartons, sealing bags, colour coding, bundling, attaching, decorating, and bundling heavy packaging.
