3M 7000123291 Scotch 681 Packaging Tape Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7000123291 is a transparent, light-duty packaging tape designed for heat-shrink packaging applications. The UPVC film backing measures 1.5 mil thick and provides strong resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it a reliable choice for food-adjacent packaging lines and industrial wrapping operations. A natural rubber adhesive delivers firm adhesion to difficult substrates while allowing clean removal without surface damage. At a total tape thickness of 2.4 mil, this roll balances flexibility and durability for automated and manual packaging workflows. It is FDA compliant for indirect food contact under 21 CFR 175.105, a critical qualification for food processing and distribution environments. Packaging technicians and production line operators are the primary installers.

This tape is suited for heat-shrink overwrap applications in light commercial and industrial packaging settings. It performs well as a closure feature on shrink-wrapped products due to its easy-open characteristic. The clean-removal property makes it appropriate for packaging that must be opened without tearing or leaving adhesive residue on the wrapped product or surface. Its chemical resistance supports use in environments where exposure to cleaning agents or moisture is common, such as food processing facilities, distribution centers, and light manufacturing lines.

Key Features

• Transparent 2.4 mil film tape optimized for heat-shrink packaging
• UPVC backing at 1.5 mil provides moisture and chemical resistance
• Natural rubber adhesive bonds to difficult substrates and removes cleanly
• FDA compliant for indirect food contact per 21 CFR 175.105
• Easy-open design when used as a closure feature on shrink-wrapped packages
• Consistent handling and durability across manual and automated applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in heat-shrink packaging systems and light-duty wrapping applications where transparent, clean-removing tape is required for film closures or overwrap sealing.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. In automated dispensing systems, verify tape compatibility with the dispenser's feed mechanism before production runs. When used in food-adjacent environments, confirm installation complies with applicable facility hygiene and food safety protocols. No special tools are required for manual hand-application.
