3M 7000048383 Printable Flatback Paper Tape 256 Red

Product Description

The 3M 7000048383 is a red printable flatback paper tape in the Scotch 256 series, sized at 0.75 inches wide by 60 yards long with a 6.7 mil thickness. This tape uses a flatback paper construction that accepts standard flexographic inks and can also be marked with ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, pencils, and rubber stamps. It bonds to a wide range of surfaces including paper, film, fabric, and yarn. Packaging, bundling, and labeling professionals commonly use this tape when printed identification or color-coding is required during production or shipping operations.

This tape is suited for industrial and commercial environments where surface marking, color coding, and light-duty bundling are part of the workflow. Its red color aids in visual identification on the line. Applications include carton sealing, yarn bundling, fabric tabbing, and any process that requires a writable or printable adhesive carrier. The flatback construction prevents telescoping on rolls and allows the tape to lay flat without curling, making it practical for hand-apply and machine-apply scenarios.
