Scotch® Recycled Corrugate Box Sealing Tape 3072 is an industrial polypropylene packaging tape designed with a proprietary synthetic rubber adhesive capable of bonding many surfaces instantly, specifically recycled corrugate and fiberboard. This tough corrugate tape is constructed to meet the demands of challenging packaging applications and maintain resilience from production line to delivery.

Strong Seal for Secure Delivery
Scotch® Recycled Corrugate Box Sealing Tape 3072 is a 2.3 mil (58 micron) polypropylene packaging tape that quickly and securely sticks to a wide variety of substrates, including recycled corrugate and fiberboard. The average corrugated box consists of 46% recycled content and that number can fluctuate with every box delivery. Scotch® Recycled Corrugate Box Sealing Tape 3072 utilizes a soft, synthetic rubber adhesive that offers good shear strength. This adhesive is able to penetrate the short fibers on recycled corrugate, flowing into the hills and valleys of the substrate surface to provide a strong seal.

This tape can easily be applied by hand, with a dispenser or by a 3M-Matic™ Case Sealer
