Heavy-Duty Shipping Tape

This roll of Scotch 3850-1 packing tape delivers industrial-strength adhesive for sealing parcels and moving boxes. The solvent-free formula bonds instantly to a variety of surfaces, including 100 percent recycled cardboard. Each roll measures 1.88 inches wide by 54.6 yards long on a 3-inch core. It is designed to resist slivering and tearing so a single strip secures each seam.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your tape dispenser accepts a 3-inch core before ordering. The tape width of 1.88 inches suits standard handheld and desktop dispensers. Ensure the adhesive is appropriate for your specific packaging materials and weight requirements. No special tools or surface preparations are needed for application.

Performance in Use

The adhesive maintains a secure hold through rough handling and varied temperatures. Unwinding is smooth and controlled, reducing waste from splitting or jagged edges. The clear construction allows shipping labels and box markings to remain fully visible. This tape is rated to secure packages weighing up to 80 lbs.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a dispenser separately?

The package contains one roll of tape measuring 1.88 in. by 54.6 yd. on a 3-in. core. It can be used as a refill for a Scotch Brand packing tape dispenser, which is sold separately.

How do I choose between the different Scotch packaging tapes listed such as Box Lock, Heavy Duty and Reinforced Strapping?

This model 3850-1 is the Heavy Duty Shipping Packing Tape with industrial-strength solvent-free adhesive designed for all box types including 100% recycled boxes. The other named tapes are separate products with different constructions and are not included in this pack.

What does the claim that it secures up to 80 lbs mean when I am actually sealing a moving box?

The tape is rated to secure boxes weighing up to 80 lbs. Its adhesive adheres instantly and resists slivering, splitting and tearing so a single strip on each seam is enough to keep the box sealed through rough handling.
