Scotch® Box Sealing Tape 355, one of the very best performers in the Scotch® polyester line of tapes, securely closes double and triple walled corrugated cartons, including those with high recycled content, saving time and reducing closure failures. The polyester backing resists moisture, abrasion and scuffing to hold strong throughout the shipping process.
Shear strength prevents the tape legs from being pulled from the ends of the carton.
The tape withstands score line breaking and center seam splitting, making it ideal for use in heavy duty box and carton sealing operations.
High performance combined with superior strength
To ensure Scotch® Box Sealing Tape 355 would stand up to demanding packaging applications, our design engineers combined a thick biaxially oriented polyester backing with a hot melt synthetic rubber resin adhesive to create a tape with high adhesion, tensile strength and elongation at break. It complies with environmental considerations of ASTM D1974-92 and meets CID A-A-1684B and ASTM D5486 Type III. The tape is water-resistant per ASTM D5570.
Scotch Box Sealing Tape 355 Highlights:
- Conformable backing that resists score line breaking and center seam splitting
- Best combination of performance traits in Scotch polyester line of tapes
- Ideal strength for heavy-weight packages and overseas/export packing and shipping
- Quick, easy application by hand dispenser
