Printable Flatback Paper Tape

3M 256-1/2 is a printable flatback paper tape supplied on a 3-inch core. The white backing accepts flexographic inks and can be marked with ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, pencils and rubber stamps. Natural rubber adhesive bonds to paper, film, fabric and yarn.

General packaging and labelling use

Suits operations that need a writable, pressure-sensitive tape for sealing, bundling or identifying parcels. Not intended for buyers who require a transparent film tape, a heavy-duty cloth tape or a water-resistant outdoor grade.

Hand-tear application

The paper backing tears cleanly by hand so no dispenser is required for basic use. On very dusty or oily surfaces the adhesive may not reach full bond, so wipe the area first.

Questions about this item

Does the 256-1/2 tape require a dispenser or cutter to use the 60yds roll?

The roll fits a standard 3-inch core dispenser; you can also tear it by hand since the flatback paper backing separates cleanly without tools.

Will the natural rubber adhesive on this 256 model lift cleanly from older painted walls or vintage fabric?

The pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds to paper, film, fabric and yarn, and the thick paper backing helps it remove in one piece without leaving residue on most surfaces.

How can I confirm the 256-1/2 tape accepts ballpoint pen and felt-tip markings after application?

Write a test line with each pen type on a short strip; the printable surface dries instantly and shows no feathering or smear when dry.
