Gapped flap box taping

Designed to reduce corrugated material costs, a new taping system from 3M Masking and Packaging Systems (St. Paul, MN) permits the use of RSCs with shorter top and bottom flaps with up to a 3" gap in the middle.

Patent-pending sealing tape has a 35-mm (1.4") strip of adhesive on each side. The middle remains free of adhesive so contents of box are not damaged.
