3M 7010369188 Scotch 681 Transparent Packaging Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7010369188 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 chemicals. The natural rubber adhesive bonds to difficult substrates and releases cleanly without leaving residue. This tape complies with US FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for indirect food contact, making it suitable for use in food-adjacent packaging environments. It is installed and applied by packaging technicians, warehouse personnel, and production line operators.

Scotch 681 is designed for heat-shrink packaging operations in both light industrial and commercial settings. The transparent film allows product visibility through the packaging, and the tape functions as a closure feature that is easy to open. Its clean removal characteristic makes it appropriate for use on a wide variety of surfaces without risk of surface damage or adhesive transfer. Typical applications include retail packaging, product bundling, and shrink-wrap sealing in food-adjacent production environments.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. When used in heat-shrink packaging lines, ensure tape is applied before the shrink cycle and that the substrate is compatible with the heat process. No special tools are required for hand application. Store rolls away from direct heat and humidity to preserve adhesive performance.
