3M 7100242359 Label Protection Tape 369 3in X 109yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100242359 is a box sealing label protection tape designed to cover and protect labels, barcodes, and printed surfaces on shipping cartons and packaged goods. Identified as 3M Tape 369, it features a transparent rubber adhesive construction with a 1.6 mil total thickness that conforms closely to label surfaces without obscuring printed information. Each roll measures 3 inches wide by 109 yards long, providing extended coverage per roll and reducing changeover frequency on high-volume lines. The rubber adhesive delivers reliable tack across cardboard, film, and foil label stock. This tape is applied by shipping and receiving personnel, packaging line operators, and warehouse staff as part of standard carton preparation and label compliance workflows.

Tape 369 is suited for industrial and commercial packaging environments where label legibility must be maintained through shipping, handling, and storage. It is commonly applied over barcode labels, shipping labels, and compliance markings on corrugated boxes to prevent smearing, moisture damage, and abrasion during transit. The transparent film backing allows scanners and inspectors to read labels without removing the tape, making it appropriate for distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and fulfillment operations.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry label surfaces free of dust, oil, or loose edges for best adhesion. Smooth the tape firmly from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles and ensure full contact with the label surface. No special tools are required, though a handheld tape dispenser or tabletop applicator is recommended for straight, consistent placement on high-volume lines. Store unused rolls at moderate temperature and humidity to preserve adhesive performance.
