Stretch film tape 3M Scotch 8886, transparent, 55 m x 36 mm

3M Scotch 8886 transparent stretch film tape is a hand-applied cling wrap designed for bundling, securing and protecting items during packaging, storage and transportation. The film measures 55 m in length and 36 mm in width and provides conformable stretch and surface tack to hold items together without leaving adhesive residue. Its clear appearance preserves product visibility while delivering reliable containment for light to medium loads.

Advantages

The tape offers controlled stretchability and consistent cling that allows tight wrapping by hand without equipment. Its transparent film ensures contents remain visible while the material resists tearing during normal handling. Because it secures loads by tension and surface adhesion rather than a pressure-sensitive glue, it does not leave sticky residue on products and packaging. The narrow width and continuous film format enable precise application around irregular shapes and smaller items.

Suitable for

• Bundling small boxes, tubes and cylindrical items
• Securing lightweight parcels and mail items
• Protecting products during short-term storage and transit
• Wrapping products where visibility of labels or contents is required
• Temporary stabilization of stacked or palletized goods with small load profiles

Key specifications

• Type: transparent stretch film tape for hand application
• Length: 55 m
• Width: 36 mm
• Film behavior: stretchable with surface cling (non-adhesive tack)
• Appearance: clear/transparent
• Intended use: bundling, wrapping, light load stabilization

How to use

Pull the film end from the roll and wrap around the item while applying tension to achieve a snug fit. Overlap successive wraps by approximately 30–50% to ensure secure containment. For cylindrical or irregular items, apply multiple passes and maintain consistent tension to avoid wrinkling. To finish, tear or cut the film and press the end against the wrapped surface so it clings and holds without additional adhesive. Avoid overstretching beyond the material’s elastic limit to prevent thinning or breakage.

Usage recommendations

Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain film performance. Use at room temperature for optimal cling and stretch. For heavier loads or long-term pallet stabilization, consider complementary packaging methods such as corner protection, strapping or wider stretch film designed for machine or heavier-duty use.
