This tape is designed for general use in industrial applications with a slight need for temperature and water resistance such as short-term paint masking and sealing applications. It provides good instant adhesion and holding power that resists lifting or curling. Its crepe paper backing offers conformability that will maintain integrity when formed around corners. Its good solvent and moisture resistance helps to resist paint bleed-through and provides good paint lines due to its clean removability in one piece with no residue from most surfaces. An essential tool box item.

FAQ's

  • What is the best way to apply masking tapes?

    1. First start with a clean and fully prepared surface.
    2. Avoid stretching the tape and try to pull about 3 feet of the tape from the roll at a time.
    3. Lay the tape into any dips or depressions but don’t pull or stretch the tape to fit.
    4. Once the tape has been placed flat firmly press down the edges to avoid messy edges or seepage.

  • What is the perfect temperature for applying masking tapes?

    Ideally at 70 degrees fahrenheit and low humidity. Very high or low temperatures can contribute to reduced performance of the adhesive.

  • What is the shelf life of masking tapes?

    A general rule of thumb is a shelf life of 1-2 years.

Artwork

Supplying Own Artwork

Be sure to supply your design using the CMYK colour mode with a resolution of at least 300dpi. Additionally, embed fonts, outline text and extend bleed areas beyond the trim marks to prevent any important elements from being cut off during printing and trimming. To ensure artwork is supplied correctly to avoid delays, we recommend using our artwork templates.

Please Note: For most products, the CMYK colour mode is utilised, however, other printed materials such as carrier bags and branded writing instruments are printed using Pantone colours. Any artwork supplied in RGB will be converted in to CMYK or Pantone depending on the product. Please bear in mind this will result in a significant colour difference which we will make you aware of prior to print.

  • Designs should be supplied using CMYK colour mode
  • Resolution should be at least 300dpi
  • Fonts should be embedded and text outlined
  • Bleed areas should be extended beyond trim marks
  • RGB artwork will be converted to meet printing requirements
