  • Low tack tape for signwriting

    Posted by Phil Paylor on 22 August 2016 at 13:12

    Hi,
    just wondered if anyone could recommend a reasonably priced low tack signwriting tape please,
    as my very old stock of tape is about finished. Eurostar 12mm tape maybe ?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    regards
    Phil

    Hi Phil.. We use the professional uv resistant blue masking tape from tool station – item code 30227. It is great for most jobs and no matter how quickly you remove it there is no adhesive residue left afterwards. £1.89 per roll.

    I can recommend the tape sold by Handover. If you’re a seasoned sign writer, you’ll appreciate that their tape can be torn easily mid letter and peeled back to allow you to complete those round letters and numbers etc.

    ^That will make sense to sign writers!^

    Hi
    Thanks everyone for the very helpful info.
    The tape sold by Handover sounds like the type of tape I’m used to.
    I know exactly what you mean Darren.
    I will try the products in the near future when my old stock is used.
    Once again thank you for your help.
    Regards
    Phil
