Tape

Tape is the bedrock of arts and crafts. It’s a vital supply that you need to stick, transfer and mount during your projects. A lot can be said about the quality of the tape you use and the results you’ll achieve. Good tape is hard to come by in the art world, and especially at an affordable price. That’s why we’ve created our own range of tapes made especially for artists and DIY projects. Whether you want to transfer stickers to a window or stick two things together, we have you covered with our versatile range of tapes!

What is tape used for? Tape is normally used to stick or bond two things together, either permanently or temporarily. For example, mounting tape is used to mount items to solid surfaces, while Sellotape is used to tape various types of paper together. Some tapes are used for other purposes—transfer tape is used to transfer sticker and vinyl, while masking tape is used to mask a surface during painting. All tapes have a purpose and place in arts and crafts. 

What kind of tape is the strongest? Duct tape is the strongest general purpose tape on the market and several brands claim to make the best variety. Gorilla Tape and Duck Brand are probably the best-known brands, although there are many more out there.

Is tape made out of plastic? Most tapes are made out of plastic, but not all. Mounting tape, transfer tape and finishing tape are normally made from plastic, while masking tape is made from paper. We sell a foam mounting tape, as well. Where tape is made from plastic, it is normally polypropylene, polyethylene or vinyl, and all are recyclable. Vinyl is more flexible and is commonly used for electrical tape.

Having a good supply of tape is important not just for your arts and crafts, but around the house too. Where would you be without tape when you need to stick things together or fix something? In a rut! Tape comes in a wide range of strengths, weights and materials. Some are strong while others are light, allowing for easy removal. Arteza’s tapes are of the best quality. Our mounting and transfer tapes can be used around the house in DIY projects and in your arts and crafts. Every art studio, home, office and classroom needs good tape, and you can get all you need here at Arteza!
