What Is Flatback Tape?

Flatback tape is a pressure-sensitive paper tape designed to provide greater strength and durability than many conventional paper tapes. Its strong paper backing makes it well suited for demanding industrial applications where reliable holding power, tear resistance, and easy handling are important.

Depending on the specific tape construction and adhesive, flatback tapes can be used for packaging, carton sealing, splicing, bundling, holding, masking, tabbing, and surface protection. Specialized 3M flatback tapes are also available for applications requiring higher adhesion, moisture resistance, temperature resistance, or increased backing strength.

  • Packaging & Carton Sealing – Strong paper tape for closing, reinforcing, and securing packages.
