Een sterk, bruinpapieren band.Cinta resistente de papel marrón.A tape, usually brown or tan colored, intended to block areas or surfaces from the application of materials, such as paint, or processes, such as sanding. It may be made of a strong paper or of a thin and easy-to-tear paper with an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive. It was originally developed in 1925 by 3M employee Richard Drew, who had observed that auto body painters had difficulty with the butcher paper then used to mask areas from paint.通常呈棕褐色之膠帶，用於遮蔽特定區域或表面，以避免在施加其他材料（如油漆）或加工過程（如砂磨打光）中沾染汙損。遮罩膠帶的材質通常是強韌的紙，或塗覆有易分離的壓敏型黏合劑、纖薄而易撕的紙。遮罩膠帶最早是由3M公司職員理查．德魯在1925年所研發，他在注意到車體塗漆工使用包肉紙遮蓋避免油漆沾染處時多所不便，因而有了發明構想。
