About this item
SKU T9158959 — 55 yds × 55 yds, 5.7 Mil, Clear. Sold as a case of 36, shipped from US warehouses.
Scotch® 8959 bi-directional filament tape reinforced with continuous glass yarn filaments for maximum tensile strength on demanding packing lines. The aggressive synthetic rubber adhesive provides long-term holding power on corrugated cartons, while the 5.7 mil polypropylene backing resists abrasion, moisture, and scuffing. This case of 36 rolls (1 " x 55 yds each) is engineered for high-speed case sealing operations.
Filament and strapping tape: Good fit for bundling, reinforcing cartons, pallet prep, appliance parts, and high-strength warehouse packaging. This tape helps fulfillment, warehouse, ecommerce, and shipping teams choose the right carton-sealing tape for hand packing, machine packing, storage, and outbound order workflows.
Common questions
Will this tape work with my existing filament tape dispenser?
Yes. This 1-inch tape is compatible with standard filament tape dispensers. Verify your dispenser accepts 1-inch rolls, and refer to our Filament Tape Dispensers category for compatible equipment. The consistent 5.7 mil gauge ensures smooth feeding and consistent application.
How does bi-directional reinforcement improve sealing performance?
Glass filaments running in multiple directions (lengthwise and crosswise) distribute stress evenly across the tape, preventing splits and tears during box movement and handling. This design provides tensile strength compared to single-direction tape, especially on heavy cases.
Is the aggressive adhesive suitable for different box materials and temperatures?
The synthetic rubber adhesive formulation is engineered for balanced performance across corrugated cardboard, kraft, and mixed materials. It maintains strong initial tack and long-term holding power across typical warehouse temperatures (50 - 85°F), with excellent moisture and humidity resistance.
Why should I choose 5.7 mil over thinner tape options?
The 5.7 mil thickness provides maximum durability for high-volume packing lines and heavy shipments. Thicker backing resists punctures, scuffing, and abrasion during automated handling, reducing case rejections and rework while lowering cost-per-application for demanding operations.
