Product Description
Scotch
®
Pouch Tapes 824, 825 and 827 are pressure-sensitive tapes with a bright,
orange border on all four edges, and a non-tacky “see through” central rectangle,
which provides a quick, simple, highly visible, and secure method of attaching and
protecting packing lists and other documents to a wide range of boxes and shipping
containers. When folded in half, adhesive to adhesive, it becomes a small parts
packet. The specially formulated adhesive and tough 3M™ Scotchpro™ film
backing gives excellent holding power to a variety of surfaces and is moisture
resistant. Comes in convenient roll form, which means no liner to remove.
