Wide Scotch tape typically refers to packaging or shipping tape which has a width of around 1.5 to 3 inches, significantly wider and stronger than standard transparent office tape. These tapes are designed for heavy-duty applications.
Key Features
- Width: Common widths are 1.5 inches (38 mm), 1.88 inches (48 mm), or 2 inches (50 mm), which provides greater coverage and strength for sealing boxes.
- Adhesion: It features a strong, pressure-sensitive adhesive system (often hot melt or acrylic) with a high initial tack for a reliable, permanent seal on contact. The Scotch® Super-Hold Wide Tape is advertised as having 50% more adhesive than the standard transparent tape.
- Durability: The tape has a thicker backing and is designed to resist splitting, tearing, abrasion, and moisture, making it suitable for shipping and long-term storage.
- Clarity: Most wide packaging tapes are virtually crystal clear when applied, so they hold strong without being visually obvious.
- Dispenser: Due to its width and strength, it often requires a heavy-duty dispenser with a cutting blade for easy and smooth application, as it cannot be easily torn by hand.
Common Uses
Wide Scotch tape is primarily used for tasks that require a strong, secure bond:
- Packaging and Shipping: The most common use is sealing and securing cardboard boxes and parcels for shipping or moving.
- Storage: Ideal for creating long-lasting labels and securing storage bins and totes made of plastic, metal, or finished wood.
- Heavy-Duty Repairs: Suitable for various heavy-duty DIY projects and repairs around the home or office.
For specific heavy-duty scenarios (e.g., packages over 40 lbs or unstable contents), an even stronger and potentially wider tape like the Scotch® 375 Packing Tape may be recommended.
