3M 7100242357 Label Protection Tape 369 2in X 109yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100242357 is a transparent box sealing and label protection tape designed to cover and protect printed labels, barcodes, and surface markings on cartons and shipping containers. Built on a clear film backing 1.6 mil thick with a rubber adhesive system, it lays flat over labels to prevent smearing, moisture intrusion, and abrasion damage in distribution and warehouse environments. The roll measures 2 inches wide by 109 yards long, providing extended coverage per roll. Tensile strength is rated at 19.0 lb/in, giving it reliable resistance to tearing under normal handling stress. This tape is applied by hand or with a tape dispenser and requires no special tools or surface preparation beyond a clean, dry substrate.

This tape is used in shipping, receiving, and fulfillment operations where label integrity is critical. It is suited for light industrial and commercial packaging lines, warehouses, and distribution centers. Typical applications include protecting thermal-transfer and laser-printed shipping labels on corrugated boxes, securing packing slips in label pouches, and providing an additional moisture barrier over surface-applied documentation. Facilities handling high-volume outbound freight find the 109-yard roll length reduces roll changes per shift.

Installation Notes

This tape is applied by packaging or shipping personnel and does not require a licensed trade installer. Ensure the label surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before application for maximum adhesion. Apply with firm, even pressure across the full width to eliminate air bubbles that could allow moisture ingress. Avoid stretching the film during application, as this can cause edge lifting after the tape relaxes.
