Professional fiberglass-reinforced water-activated paper tape for secure carton sealing with tamper-evident protection and easy hand application
3M™ Water Activated Paper Tape 6146 is a professional-grade, fiberglass reinforced medium duty packaging tape designed to simplify carton sealing operations in industrial and commercial environments. This natural kraft-colored tape features a high-tack water-activated adhesive system that creates a powerful, secure bond when moistened, ensuring corrugated boxes stay sealed throughout shipping, handling, and storage. The tape is specifically engineered for sealing medium weight corrugated boxes, recycled cartons, and non-unitized loads weighing up to 35 pounds, making it an ideal solution for food, beverage, medical, pharmaceutical, paper, print, electronics, and distribution center applications.
The 30-lb. fiberglass reinforced kraft paper construction provides reliable performance across a wide range of environments and applications. When water-activated, the adhesive easily and quickly conforms over carton edges and corners to form secure C-clip and L-clip seals. The tape creates a tamper-evident seal that shreds if an attempt is made to pull it off before delivery, providing enhanced security for shipments. The paper construction makes the tape easy to handle and ideal for hand applications, while boxes sealed with this tape remain securely closed yet easy to open without cutting tools.
This economical packaging solution comes in rolls measuring 2 inches wide by 450 feet long, with 12 rolls per case. The tape performs optimally when applied at room temperature and maintains excellent performance throughout normal temperature ranges encountered during shipping and storage. 3M also offers semi-automatic application equipment to increase efficiency and speed up packaging processes for high-volume operations. The product is designed for industrial and occupational use only and meets the needs of numerous industries requiring reliable, cost-effective carton sealing solutions.
