This tape is designed for indoor applications or exterior use only when protected from environmental exposure. Moisture and direct weather exposure can compromise the acrylic adhesive bond. For outdoor shipments, ensure the tape remains protected within your packaging system.
One 36-yard roll at 1/2" width provides 54 square feet of coverage (36 yards x 1.5 feet / 1). For typical small package gaps and edge sealing, one roll covers approximately 50-75 individual boxes depending on tape application length.
This tape maintains optimal performance between 70°F and 100°F. For shipments exceeding 100°F or stored in high-heat environments, alternative solutions with higher temperature ratings may be more appropriate. Verify your storage and transit temperatures before selecting.
The 3M 4008 creates a permanent, high-strength bond due to its firm acrylic adhesive. Once applied, the tape is not designed for removal or repositioning. Test on a sample surface before full application to ensure proper placement on your packaging materials.
