What is Double Sided Tape?

Double Sided Tape is an adhesive tape coated with adhesive on both sides, allowing two surfaces to be securely bonded together without visible tape or mechanical fasteners.

Available in a variety of materials, including tissue, film, foam and high-performance acrylic, double sided tape is commonly used for mounting, joining, fixing and laminating materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass and timber.

Double sided tapes are available in different thicknesses and adhesive strengths to suit applications ranging from lightweight packaging and displays to heavy-duty industrial bonding.

Key benefits include:

  • Creates a clean, concealed bond between surfaces.
  • Eliminates the need for screws, nails or liquid adhesives in suitable applications.
  • Available in permanent, removable and high-strength adhesive options.
  • Suitable for bonding smooth, rough or uneven surfaces, depending on the tape.
  • Provides quick and easy application without drying or curing time for most pressure-sensitive tapes.

The effectiveness of double sided tape depends on the adhesive type, surface material, application pressure and the tape's ability to wet out and make close contact with both surfaces.
