Sealing Tape for Shipping and Mailroom Use

3M 483 sealing tape is a water-tight film tape designed for packaging and shipping tasks. The white polyethylene backing carries a rubber adhesive that bonds across a wide temperature range. Supplied in a 1 in by 36 yd roll, it suits mailroom staff and shippers who need a reliable seal on cartons and parcels. The tape is new and ready for immediate use.

Performance Limits of the Rubber Adhesive System

The adhesive functions from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F, so bonds hold in cold storage and hot transit conditions. Outside this range the tape may lose adhesion or backing integrity. The 5.3 mil thickness provides a consistent barrier, but the film is not rated for structural loads or prolonged outdoor exposure. Users should test on specific substrates before high-volume application.

Surface and Environment Checks Before Ordering

Confirm that cartons or wrapping materials are clean, dry and compatible with rubber-based adhesive. Very dusty, waxy or silicone-coated surfaces can reduce bond strength. Verify that storage and shipping temperatures stay within the stated -20 to 170 degrees F window. The 1 in width suits standard hand dispensers, but check your dispenser core size before ordering.
