FAQs
What is this tape made of?
This tape is made from 100% Polyester.
What are the available widths for this tape?
The tape is available in widths ranging from 16 mm to 38 mm.
Can this tape be used on fabric?
Yes, it can be used to adorn or embellish fabrics, but it is not designed for sewing seams or as a structural element in garments.
Does the tape have an adhesive backing?
Typically, this type of decorative tape is applied using craft glue or other adhesives, as it does not come with a self-adhesive backing.
How should I store the tape?
Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and material integrity.
Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?
The 100% polyester material offers some durability, but it is primarily designed for indoor craft applications and may degrade with prolonged exposure to UV light and weather.
Can I iron over this tape?
It is not recommended to iron directly over the tape, as polyester can melt at high temperatures. If ironing is necessary on a project, iron from the reverse side at a low setting and test first.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. For difficult surfaces, consider applying a craft glue or spray adhesive beneath the tape.
Tape is fraying at the edges when cut
Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean cut. For polyester, a brief application of heat from a lighter or heat tool can seal the edges, but test this on a scrap piece first as it can melt.
Color appears different than expected
Colors may vary slightly due to monitor settings and manufacturing batches. Refer to product images and descriptions, and consider ordering a sample if color matching is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tape is ready for immediate use. Simply unroll and cut to the desired length using scissors or a craft knife. For application, peel off the backing (if applicable, though this product is typically a decorative ribbon-style tape without a backing) and press firmly onto the intended surface.
Compatibility: Best suited for use on paper, cardstock, finished wood, and some fabrics. It may require a suitable adhesive for non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, or certain plastics. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Keep the tape stored in its original packaging or a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Clean finished projects gently; if the tape itself needs cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and blot, avoiding excessive moisture or scrubbing.
