Recommended for sealing lightweight packages, 3M Water Activated Paper Tape 6142 offers an optimal method for securing your boxes. By forming two C clips on each carton top and bottom, this tape easily conforms over carton edges and corners, creating secure C clip and I clip seals. The water-activated adhesive bonds with the fiberboard material of corrugated cartons, resulting in a strong and durable seal that can withstand even the toughest handling and shipping scenarios. This tape is also suitable for use on recycled cartons and non-unitized loads. With its 60 lb. paper construction, you can rely on its performance in various environments and applications. It is a cost-effective packaging tape that meets the needs of industries such as food, beverage, medical pharmaceutical, paper, print, electronics, shipping, and distribution centers.

For increased efficiency and faster carton sealing processes, 3M offers semi-automatic application equipment. These tools are designed to make application easier and more convenient. It is recommended to apply the tape at room temperature for best results. Once applied, the tape performs well in the normal temperature ranges typically encountered during shipping and storage.

Boxes sealed with this tape are securely sealed but can be easily opened without the need for cutting tools.
