When people think of tape, they often picture paper tape (often referred to as Masking tape). That’s because paper tape has established itself as one of the most important and useful tools for so many.
Though paper tape is a simple product, it has so many uses. Perhaps the most common is when it comes to packing up boxes—anyone who is moving house needs to have several rolls of paper tape on hand to keep their boxes sealed and labelled.
Painters are also fond of using paper tape to mark off edges and protect surfaces from stray paint splatters. When spraypainting, paper tape is perfect for making sure you only coat what you want.
Paper tape can also be used to mark items in offices, on sets, or around the home. For example, if you’re planning on hosting a garage sale, you can use different coloured paper tape to identify the price of different items you plan to sell.
Paper tape is also very easy to use. You won’t need scissors or a blade to cut through it—you can easily and quickly tear paper tape by hand, making fast work of any project.
Paper tape colours and varieties
Did you know that paper tape comes in many different colours, aside from the traditional white paper tape? At John Barry Sales, you can buy paper tape in hues like pink, purple, blue, red, orange, silver, or black.
When shopping for paper tape, consider the surfaces you plan to stick it to, and how warm or cool the room will be where you store the tape. Some paper tapes are stronger than others, meaning they’ll be able to stick to more surfaces for a longer period of time, or withstand more extreme temperatures without losing their stickiness.
