3M 7100241733 Label Protection Tape Clear 1.8 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7100241733 is a clear box sealing label protection tape designed to shield printed labels, barcodes, and shipping information from moisture, abrasion, and handling damage during transit and storage. Running 1.8 mil thick, it lays flat and conforms well over label edges without lifting or bubbling. At 48mm wide and 54.68 yards long per roll, this tape delivers a high yield suitable for medium to high-volume packaging operations. Warehouse and shipping personnel apply it directly over adhesive labels on corrugated boxes and mailers to prevent smearing, tearing, or water damage that could render a label unreadable.

This tape is commonly used in distribution centers, shipping departments, and fulfillment operations where label integrity is critical for barcode scanning and regulatory compliance. It suits applications where labels must remain legible through rough handling, outdoor exposure, or refrigerated environments. The clear film construction allows the underlying label to remain fully visible at all angles without color distortion. Packaging line workers and warehouse associates are the primary users, though it also sees use in light industrial and stockroom settings.

Key Features

• 1.8 mil thickness provides durable protection against abrasion and moisture without excessive stiffness
• Clear film maintains full label visibility and barcode scannability after application
• 48mm width covers standard shipping label formats with overlap to seal edges

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose label protection tape compatible with corrugated cartons, poly mailers, and flat-surface shipping labels in standard packaging line workflows.

Installation Notes

Clean, dry surfaces yield the best adhesion before applying label protection tape. Apply with a handheld tape dispenser or automated taping equipment rated for the roll width. Smooth out air bubbles from the center outward during application to ensure full contact over the label surface. No special tools or trade certifications are required for application.
