Crepe paper tape has been around for decades and is primarily used for paper and packaging. The paper is similar to cling film and is able to adhere to almost any surface with a very high level of tackiness. It can be combined with other adhesives to help form a more unique and professional-looking application.
There are several different forms of crepe paper masking tape available depending on your needs. You will find that the more heavy-duty then tape the higher the cost, this is because it requires special manufacturing methods to create. The majority of these tapes are not suitable for general use as they have a tendency to peel off quite easily if the surface is covered is subject to high temperatures or is wet. This makes them a poor choice for individuals working in food preparation or packaging environment.
There are some advantages to using heavy-duty colored crepe paper masking tape. One of these is the additional adhesive used. Because of the extra material used, there is a greater chance that the application will cling to the surface applied with the adhesive. This increased cling-ability can also help increase the longevity of the application.
Because the heavier the tape, the more adhesive it will provide, it is therefore important to purchase the proper amount of tape required for your application. It is important to consider what uses you will have for the product when determining the amount to purchase. If you anticipate the need for the product to be used as packaging then it is advisable to purchase an extra-large piece. For general use, the standard-sized sheet will work just fine.
Crepe paper masking tape has been developed specifically to be used with a stapler and specific hole locations for application purposes. These specific locations are developed specifically because of the large area of the application needed. There are no standard holes sizes to accommodate all application needs. The application can take place at either the top or bottom of the package, and either the front or back of the package depending on the specific application. It is important to make sure you choose the location that will offer you the greatest degree of adhesion. The best location will also be where you can most easily view the product.
Because masking tape can be so valuable it has been developed to be used with a stapler, roller, and other specialized tools. As a result, it has developed to be even more valuable to those businesses that need to cover uneven surfaces with tape. The addition of a stapler or roller to the surface adds a level of ease to the surface application of the tape as well as a degree of safety.
