High-strength, filament-reinforced tape resists nicks, abrasion, and moisture
Synthetic rubber adhesive bonds easily to most fiberboard, plastics, and metal surfaces
Glass yarn filaments add strength for box closing, bundling, and more
Able to withstand rough shipping and handling conditions

3M 893 is a general-purpose packaging tape reinforced along its length with continuous glass-yarn filaments, which give the tape high tensile strength. The transparent polypropylene backing provides excellent abrasion, moisture, and scuff resistance. The adhesive is an aggressive rubber adhesive specifically formulated to provide balanced performance having both high adhesion and long-term holding power.
