3M 7100053231 Scotch 681 Transparent Packaging Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7100053231 is the Scotch 681 Light Duty Packaging Tape, a transparent 2.4 mil UPVC film tape engineered for heat-shrink packaging applications. The 1.5 mil UPVC backing resists moisture and chemicals, while the natural rubber adhesive bonds to difficult substrates and removes cleanly without leaving residue. At 0.93 pounds per roll, it is a practical choice for light-duty sealing and closure work. The tape complies with US FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for indirect food contact, making it suitable for food-adjacent packaging lines. Distribution centers, packaging operations, and light industrial facilities are the primary environments for this product.

Scotch 681 is used where a transparent, low-profile tape seal is required on heat-shrink film applications. Its clean-removal characteristic makes it well suited for retail packaging where the tape also serves as a tamper-evident or easy-open closure feature. The natural rubber adhesive adheres reliably to a wide variety of surfaces, including surfaces that resist bonding with acrylic-based tapes. Facilities that package food-adjacent products benefit from the FDA indirect food contact compliance.
