What Is Double-Sided Tape?

Double-sided tape is a popular tape that has an adhesive layer on both sides. Its popularity is due to its ability to stick two surfaces together easily.The adhesive and the ribbon can be made from different materials, giving the tapes varying adhesion and flexibility.

Uses of Double-Sided Tape

The tape's versatility makes it perfect for many jobs. Industrial uses include:

  • Attaching soundproof panels to floors and walls
  • Bonding signs and graphics together
  • Waterproofing seams in homes
  • Securing temporary carpeting to floors
  • Splicing and tabbing in paper mills

The tapes used for most of these purposes rely on significant tensile strength and powerful adhesives.

Double-sided tapes used for crafting are very different from those used to waterproof a home, some of which are weather-resistant. But they're still plenty impressive. You can use double-sided tape with a range of projects, such as:

Try using double-sided tape to add layers or textures to projects. You can even sprinkle glitter over it to give your project a little razzle-dazzle.

How To Apply Double-Sided Tape:

Double-sided tape is easy to use — just peel off the backing and apply it to the surfaces you want to stick together. Be sure to press down firmly so that the tape sticks well.

If you want to remove the double-sided tape from a surface, you may need to heat the adhesive with a hairdryer or scrape it off with a butter knife. You can often get rid of any sticky residue with household cleaners, oil, or a solution of vinegar and water. Choose the cleanser that will be most gentle on the surface underneath.

Types of Double-Sided Tape

There are many types of double-sided tape: permanent and removable tapes, foam-backed tapes, cloth-backed tapes, etc. Pick the one best suited to your needs.

Double-Sided ATG Tapes

Three of the most common double-sided tapes are all adhesive transfer gun (ATG) tapes:

  • Standard ATG Tape— often used for general mounting purposes such as pictures and nameplates.
  • Professional ATG Tape— also used for mounting but has a higher adhesion and tack than the standard ATG tape.
  • Heavy Duty AGT Tape— used for challenging bonding projects. It has a very strong holding power and quick tack.

To use any AGT tape, you will need an ATG tape dispenser.

Double-Sided Carpet Tape

‌Conventions and trade shows often use carpets to create nonslip walkways. However, the carpets can be hazardous if they slide around and must be secured. ‌You will want to invest in high-quality carpet tape to prevent people from tripping and falling during your next convention.

Double-coated exhibition carpet tape is used extensively in this industry to temporarily hold down carpets at events. This tape is excellent for high-traffic areas and won't leave a residue.

Double-Sided Fabric Tape

Double-coated polyester fabric tape offers a more long-term solution for securing various types of flooring, such as carpet, vinyl, rubber flooring, and gym flooring. It is easy to tear and adapts to many shapes. In addition, the high adhesion offers excellent tack to many surfaces.

‌This tape is best used as a permanent solution for securing carpets in high-traffic areas. It has both home and business applications.

Double-Sided Crepe Paper Tape

Double-sided crepe paper tapes use a rubber-based adhesive that bonds well to most papers, films, and fabrics. They are also great at holding wood cuts and leave little to no residue.
