3M Performance Yellow Masking Tape 301+ is designed to deliver good paint lines where surface temperatures can reach up to 225°F/107°C. This yellow crepe paper tape is ideal for paint masking applications in specialty vehicle, aerospace, automotive and industrial markets where strong holding performance is required. Ideal for Industrial Painting
Using our proprietary solvent-free adhesive, the tape sticks instantly to most surfaces, including metal, rubber, glass and plastic, as well as EPDM-type rubber moldings while removing cleanly in one piece. Our high-strength crepe-paper backing conforms to irregular surfaces, resists bleed through from most industrial paint systems, improves visibility during the paint masking process, and helps you achieve good paint lines.
3M Performance Yellow Masking Tape 301+ is an ideal tape for industrial painting, including two-tone color applications on trucks, buses, trailers, trains, fire trucks, ambulances and airplanes. It is easy to tear, which aids in handling, yet strong enough to resist slivering, providing "user friendly," one piece removal. The tape is conformable for easy masking around corners, over contours and irregular surfaces.

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. Our masking tapes adhere well, resist solvents or water from the 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. From wide to narrow, single rolls to bulk, there are many options to choose from when ordering masking tape. 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.
Trusted 3M Performance Quality
The 3M Performance Yellow Masking Tape 301+ is a reliable choice for industrial paint masking. This tape is designed by 3M, a trusted brand known for quality, ensuring consistent results every time you use it.
Its model 301+ offers strong holding power, making it suitable for specialty vehicle, aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets. You can count on this tape to perform well in demanding environments.
Precise Dimensions And Size
This masking tape measures 24 mm in width and 55 meters in length, providing ample coverage for various projects. The size is perfect for detailed paint masking tasks requiring accuracy and control.
Sold in a pack of 36 rolls per case, it offers great value for large-scale industrial or commercial use. The consistent size helps maintain uniform paint lines across multiple applications.
Durable 6.3 Mil Thickness
With a thickness of 6.3 mil, this tape balances flexibility and strength. It’s thick enough to resist paint bleed-through while conforming easily to corners and irregular surfaces.
This durability makes it ideal for mid-temperature paint processes, including two-tone color applications on trucks, buses, and airplanes. The tape tears easily by hand but resists slivering during use.
Visible Yellow Backing
The bright yellow backing improves visibility during masking, helping you apply the tape accurately. This feature reduces mistakes and speeds up the masking process on complex surfaces.
Visibility is especially helpful when working on specialty vehicles or industrial equipment where precision is critical. The yellow color stands out against most surfaces, making it easier to see edges and overlaps.
Convenient 36 Roll Case
Each case contains 36 rolls of tape, making it a practical choice for workshops and production lines. This bulk packaging ensures you have enough tape on hand for continuous projects without frequent reordering.
The format supports efficient storage and easy access, helping teams stay organized. Whether for automotive, aerospace, or industrial painting, the pack size meets high-volume demands.
