Industrial Splicing Tape

ALS Tape supplies 3M splicing tapes for converting, printing, packaging, and corrugated board manufacturing environments where roll changes must be fast, reliable, and residue-free. Splicing tapes serve two primary splice methods: zero-speed splice (line is stopped or slowed for the join) and flying-speed splice (splice is made at full running line speed without stopping production). Transfer tape grades (465, 9498/9464, 9499/9497) deliver a clean, carrier-free low-profile splice suitable for delicate or thin substrates. Double-coated tissue grades (9737/9737R and 9738/9738R) are the go-to versatile option for both zero-speed and flying-speed splices on most paper, film, and foil substrates — rated to 300°F (150°C). The corrugator-grade 9740 (polyester carrier) withstands up to 425°F (218°C) with high peel, tack, and shear strength for performance-grade joining under the high heat and pressure of corrugated board production lines. For roll closing and medium-tack general applications, polypropylene-carrier 9576 provides a cost-effective practical solution. Red liner and red-carrier variants are available for liner color identification and waste tracking in high-speed production environments.
