Product Description

The SCOTCH 7100158257 is a box sealing label protection tape designed to cover and protect printed labels on shipping cartons and packages. At 3.1 mil thick, this clear tape provides a durable layer that shields labels from moisture, scuffing, and handling damage during transit and storage. It measures 1-7/8 inches wide and 800 inches (22.2 yards) long per roll. Packaging and shipping professionals, warehouse staff, and fulfillment operations use this tape to extend label readability and reduce scan failures at sorting facilities. The tape number designation is 142-6.

This label protection tape is suited for residential and commercial shipping applications where barcode labels, address labels, or shipping documentation must remain legible through the full handling chain. It is commonly applied over printed labels on corrugated cartons, poly mailers, and rigid packaging.

Installation Notes

Apply over labels on clean, dry surfaces free of dust and moisture for best adhesion.

Smooth the tape firmly from center to edges after placement to eliminate air pockets that could allow moisture intrusion. No tools beyond a dispenser and straight-edge are typically required.
