Right Carton Sealer. Right Tapes. Right Partner.
Using the wrong case sealing solutions can cost more than you think. Are you experiencing these common – and costly – end-of-line issues?
-
Material Waste: Disposing of tape (and money) before the roll is depleted
Equipment Downtime: Shutdowns due to frequent changeovers or unplanned maintenance or repairs
Injuries and Ergonomics: Safety issues due to repetitive motion and the sharp knife edge on a hand dispenser
Missed Application: Missing or popped tape, or tape applied in the wrong spot
Manual Rework: Re-taping boxes the sealer missed, or too many operators on the line
Equipment Upkeep Costs: Exceeding your parts budget or performing unplanned maintenance

Case Sealer FAQs
-
What's the difference between an adjustable and a random case sealer?
A 3M-Matic™ Adjustable Case Sealer is manually adjusted to seal a long run of cartons that are the same height and width. A 3M-Matic™ Random Case Sealer adjusts itself to the height and width of each box as it arrives.
-
When should I use a top and bottom belt taper?
Top and bottom belt 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers (denoted by the number 7 in the model number) are often the best drive system configuration and are highly recommended for most carton-sealing applications. The four-belt system securely drives the carton through the case sealer without skewing or tipping it and tape is securely applied down the center seam. For instance, with a tall but not very long box the top and bottom belts hold the carton so it doesn’t tip as it's taped, keeping your operations running smoothly.
-
When should I use a side belt machine?
Side belt 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers (denoted by the number 8 in the model number) can be used for boxes of all sizes but are especially useful for taping narrow-width boxes. Make certain the side belts are spring-loaded to allow a little give when box widths vary slightly, such as with overstuffed cartons.
-
When should I use a bottom belt machine?
Bottom belt drive 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers (denoted by the number 2 in the model number) only have the two drive belts at the bottom, requiring a little more weight in the box for stable conveyance through the case sealer. Because there are only two belts, bottom belt machines cost less than others and can be a great place to start improving your productivity.
-
Not all box sizes will fit through a 3M-Matic™ Case Sealer. What are my options?
Sometimes there are box sizes that are outside the typical operating range of a case sealer – they may be too short or too large. 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers can be customized to your unique box requirements. In some instances this may be a simple extension of the existing columns; in other situations we will engineer a custom sealer from the ground up using standard 3M-Matic™ Case Sealer components.
-
I need to reduce my labor costs. How can 3M help?
The short answer is that it depends on how you're packaging your product today. 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers can tape boxes for shipment and replace hand taping. Shifting to a flap-folding machine removes the need for an operator to fold the top flaps and present the box to the case sealer. A case sealer can be used to pre-form cartons, which can reduce your costs and increase productivity. A 3M Packaging Specialist can best recommend a solution after visiting your site and discussing your needs.
-
What brand of tape do you recommend?
Scotch® Box Sealing Tape is our strong recommendation. 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers and Scotch® Box Sealing Tape are engineered to work together as a system, providing you the best equipment, the best taping head and the best carton-sealing tape. You get great adhesion, along with reliable and consistent case sealer performance.
-
What maintenance is required?
Each operating manual details available parts and recommended maintenance procedures. Most 3M-Matic™ Case Sealers are basic machines, and there are a few wear parts that need periodic replacement depending on usage, including drive belts and taping head blades to cut the tape.
-
