ScotchBlue Multi-Surface Masking Tape

ScotchBlue is a globally recognized brand of masking tape specifically engineered for painting and DIY projects. The brand was famously introduced by 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company) in 1988 as the first 'blue' painter's tape that could be removed cleanly without leaving adhesive residue.

Manufacturing for ScotchBlue products primarily occurs in the United States, notably at 3M's specialized facilities like the one in Cynthiana, Kentucky, though 3M utilizes a global supply chain for international distribution. The brand is a core part of the 3M consumer product portfolio, a diversified American conglomerate that remains the ultimate owner. 3M is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is a world leader in adhesive technology, science, and innovation.
