Application Tapes

Application TapesApplication tape is a translucent material with an adhesive on one side applied to the front of some graphics before applying the graphic to the substrate. In general, it aids in the handling and application of graphics and protects their surface.

Installation
Application tape can be laminated with hand or with a laminator. While laminating, avoid trapping air bubbles between the pressure-sensitive vinyl and the tape. If the bubbles appear in the tape, they will inevitably appear in the applied graphic. Stretched tape usually shrinks back in the direction of its original, pre-stretched state, causing the vinyl graphic to cut. So, the application tape should not be stretched. Overlapping should be avoided because otherwise tiny bubbles will appear on the site of overlapping. For screen printed decals, thoroughly cure inks and clear coats before applying the transfer tape. Cold weather and wet applications frequently require more time for graphics adhesive to bond to substrates. Stickiness, lifting edges, dark tapes, and prolonged storage should be avoided.

Features
  • Wet or dry application
  • Cuts and tears easily
  • Less material waste
  • Easy to use to irregular surfaces
  • High performance polymeric translucent vinyl
  • Good conformability on moderate curves.
  • Moisture resistance
  • Clean removal, without hazing or discoloring
  • Natural rubber adhesive to perform a clean pick-up and transfer of vinyl graphics or decals
  • Excellent dimensional stability and color uniformity
  • Available in a variety of thickness and widths

Characteristics
Application tapes feature a variety of paper and polyethylene constructions with varying tack for application versatility. From protecting graphics during transportation to transferring lettering and graphics, these tapes are essential tools for applicators. Typical applications of these tapes include transmitting of graphics, museum displays, frosted window decoration, graphic shadowing, illuminated signage, fleet marking, logos and signs. A comprehensive range of specialized application tape is used for critical vinyl sign making applications.

Application tapes provide proven performance in all areas of signmaking, screen printing, wide format digital and roll label printing applications.

Adhesive lagging is very common with conventional application tapes. Improved properties are added to eliminate annoying adhesive strings.
