Tissue Tape
5 products available
Double sided tissue tape offers a thin bond, low profile, for mounting, laminating, joining and assembly applications where a bulky adhesive tape would not be appropriate. Constructed from an ultra-lightweight tissue carrier coated on both sides with adhesive, it will fit between the surfaces and adhere to other suitable materials like paper, card, fabric, foam and plastic. There is standard acrylic tissue tape for everyday use, acid-free tissue tape for photos and art and reverse wound tissue tape for dispenser-assisted application in our collection.
Tissue Tape vs Other Double Sided Tapes
Tissue tape is most appropriate if there is not much extra thickness needed, and if the bond is thin and discreet. When there is a requirement for cushioning or gap filling, consider double sided foam tape. For a film-carrier option where dimensional stability is important, see double sided polyester tape. For dispenser-applied adhesive systems, browse ATG tapes.
Common Applications of Tissue Tape
Double sided tissue tape is commonly used for
- mounting signs and displays,
- laminating materials,
- joining paper and card,

- picture framing, craft projects,
- printing and
- other lightweight bonding jobs where a thin adhesive layer is preferred.
FAQs
It works best when the surface is clean and dry. Both adhesive faces are able to make good contact. This can depend on the surface condition and material type.
Use tissue tape if you want a thin bond that is low profile between relatively flat surfaces. Foam tape is preferred when extra cushioning, gap filling or conformity is desired.
Generally, tissue tapes are hand tearable due to the lightweight carrier; however, this is dependent on the product construction of the specific tissue tape. Please read the product information before using.
Yes. Clean, dry surfaces (generally) provide better adhesion. Clean and dry the area to be treated before applying.
