MASKING
Masking is often an essential part of the production and finishing process for manufacturers and fabricators. Our die cutting presses produce custom parts for unique masking protection. Die cuts reduce manufacturing costs by providing precise, pre-cut pieces that eliminate hand-trimming and extra assembly time.
These masks are designed for fast application and clean removal. In most paint shops, masking is achieved by applying single strips of tape until the specified area is masked. Die cut masking components drastically improve this process by providing custom masking components to fit the precise shape of the masked area. Die cut masking parts also simplify and speed up the application process utilizing pull-tabs, split liners and oversized liners with alignment holes.

Vinyl electrical tapes are available in temporary, semi-permanent or permanent products. Depending on how and where it will be used, you may choose light, medium or heavy duty. They are even available in a variety of colors for identification. Whatever your application, 3M carries a product that is uniquely designed to fit.
