3M 7000028668 Scotch 681 Transparent Packaging Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7000028668 is the Scotch 681 Light Duty Packaging Tape, a transparent UPVC film tape engineered for heat-shrink packaging applications. The tape features a 2.4 mil total thickness with a 1.5 mil UPVC backing that resists moisture and chemical exposure. A natural rubber adhesive provides reliable adhesion to difficult substrates while allowing clean removal from a wide range of surfaces. The product complies with US FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for indirect food contact, making it suitable for packaging lines that handle food products. Packaging and distribution professionals as well as light industrial operations are the primary users of this tape.

Scotch 681 is designed for heat-shrink packaging workflows where a transparent, low-profile tape closure is required. The clean-removal characteristic makes it well suited for retail or consumer-facing packaging where surface appearance matters after opening. Its moisture and chemical resistance supports use in environments where condensation, humidity, or incidental chemical exposure is a factor. The tape is sold by the roll and ships in case quantities with a minimum order quantity of 24 rolls.

Compatibility

Designed for heat-shrink packaging applications requiring a transparent film tape with clean-removal adhesive performance on a variety of substrate surfaces.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose material for best adhesive contact. When used in heat-shrink packaging lines, confirm the tape is positioned and secured before the shrink cycle to prevent misalignment. Store rolls away from direct heat, humidity, and prolonged UV exposure to maintain adhesive integrity. No special tools or trade licensing are required for standard packaging line use.
