Scotch Cellulose Tape was invented in 1930 by Richard Drew, a 3M scientist. Later renamed Cellophane Tape, the tape was originally designed to be an attractive, moisture-proof way for grocers and bakers to seal cellophane wrap.
When it comes to packaging tape, one size doesn't fit all. Sometimes you only need to seal small boxes and envelopes. Other times, you want tape that can withstand years of storage. That's why Scotch Packaging Tapes come in a variety of options to meet various shipping, moving, and storage needs.
