Scotch Printable Flatback Paper Tape can be used for masking as well as general holding, bundling and splicing applications; however, it's specifically designed for operations requiring colored tapes for marking or identification. It adheres best to paper, film, fabric and yarn. The tape's backing surface may be easily marked and written on, and it works well in many graphic arts applications. The heavyweight, thick, colored flatback paper backing tears by hand, conforms to corners, curves and irregular surfaces and removes without slivering, making the tape very easy to manipulate and apply.
