Application Techniques

and semi-automatic and fully automatic equipment is available. Application of
Scotch
®
Box Sealing Tape 3732 and 3734 is most easily accomplished at room
temperature. At colder temperatures, approaching 32°F (0°C), the adhesive becomes
more firm. Once applied, these tapes perform well throughout the normal temperature
range encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage environments.
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry place. Temperature of 40-80°F (4-26°C) and 40 to 50% relative
humidity are recommended.
