If the 3M tape you are looking at is too thick then I think you are looking at double sided tape meant for the consumer market.  3M transfer tape that I am talking about (and 3M is not the only brand) is more likely to be found at an art supply store than an office supply store.  It is a very thin film, thinner than "scotch tape."  I think it is the same thickness as the peel and stick parts in laser cut kits.  Comes in a roll, not a dispenser.  I got 1 inch wide and 3/4 inch wide.

The stuff used for laser cutting is 3M Transfer Tape 467MP, and it is 2 mil thick, which is pretty dang thin. I don't have a link, but it is Googleable.

I got it in 8"×10" sheets, but I think it comes in 96"x48" sheets as well.

Not where I got it, but someplace to start.

You can also make just about any paper (or wood or styrene and so on) into peel and stick format by using transfer tape from 3M and other source.  It is double sided tape but thinner than most double sided tapes.  And it sticks like a son of a gun.

Interesting idea.  I thought transfer tape worked with vinyl for designs? Am I wrong?
 
There are plenty of double-sided tape options that are quite thin.  A walk through Walmart or other office supply place is an option.  The 3M tape is far too thick!

Office supply stores sell peel and stick labels

 

 

 

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Where could I locate printable paper that has a peal and stick backing?
