What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. The masking tapes adhere well, resist solvents or water from paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.

A masking tape should specify what surfaces it will stick to and the interval over which it will remove cleanly. A very thin or poorly manufactured tape may demonstrate splintering or shredding, either coming off the roll or when being removed after use. Some masking tapes have the tensile strength for light commercial and industrial applications, including bundling, labeling, sealing, temporary repairs, lane marking, splicing and surface protection. The classic crepe paper masking tape is a light tan color, but our masking tapes come in a variety of colors and formulations to meet general and specific applications. A roll of masking tape is a basic toolbox or supply room item in construction, warehousing, military, marine, shipping, automotive aftermarket, e-commerce, general manufacturing and retail industries.

Precise Tape Dimensions Matter

This masking tape measures 12 mm in width and 55 m in length, providing ample coverage for many projects. The size makes it easy to handle and apply accurately, especially for labeling or marking tasks.

With a thickness of 4.4 mil, the tape offers a balance between flexibility and strength. These dimensions make it ideal for light- to medium-duty applications where precision and control are important.

Convenient Roll Format

The tape comes in a pack of 72 rolls per case, making it a cost-effective option for businesses or workshops that use masking tape regularly. This bulk format ensures you have plenty of tape on hand for ongoing projects.

Having multiple rolls available reduces downtime and the need for frequent reordering. The 72-roll case format supports efficient inventory management and continuous workflow.

Reliable Adhesion Performance

The proprietary solvent-free adhesive formula sticks confidently to wood, plastic, glass, metal, and painted surfaces. This ensures the tape holds firmly during use but removes cleanly in one piece without leaving residue.

Low unwind force allows for quick application and improved handling, which is especially helpful in fast-paced environments. The adhesive's clean removal protects surfaces and simplifies cleanup.

Heat Resistance Enhances Durability

Designed to withstand surface temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) for 30 minutes, this tape performs well in environments with moderate heat exposure. This feature extends its usability beyond typical masking tape applications.

Its heat resistance makes it suitable for temporary attachments or marking tasks in workshops or manufacturing settings where elevated temperatures are common. This durability adds value to the 3M General Use Masking Tape 201+.
