3M 7010313013 Scotch 640 Transparent Packaging Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7010313013 is the Scotch 640 Light Duty Packaging Tape, a transparent UPVC film tape engineered for bundling, holding, and tabbing garments in light-duty packaging applications. The backing is 1.2 mil thick UPVC film that resists moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure, keeping wrapped items protected without yellowing or staining. The acrylic adhesive bonds securely but releases cleanly from a wide variety of fabric surfaces without leaving residue. At 1.9 mil total thickness, the tape is thin and conformable, making it easy to apply by hand without a dispenser. Textile handlers, garment packagers, and light-duty warehousing staff are the primary users of this tape.

Scotch 640 is suited for garment industry applications including bundling folded clothing, tabbing price tags, and holding tissue wrap in place during packaging. Its high clarity keeps packaged products visible without obscuring labels or print. The UV-resistant formulation is particularly relevant for display environments or items with prolonged shelf exposure where yellowing tape would be unacceptable. This tape is intended for light-duty use and is not designed for heavy carton sealing or extreme-temperature shipping applications.

Installation Notes

This tape is applied by hand or with a compatible tape dispenser; no special tools are required. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for best adhesion. When removing from fabric, pull the tape back at a low angle slowly to minimize any risk of fabric snag. Store rolls away from direct heat and moisture to preserve adhesive performance.
