Product Information
Full details
The Robinson Young Easy Tear Clear Tape is designed for office professionals and home users who require a reliable, discreet adhesive for light-duty tasks, bundling, and document repair. Its primary benefit is the specialized easy-tear edge that allows for quick, clean application without the need for scissors or a heavy dispenser, though it is best suited for paper and lightweight materials rather than heavy-duty packaging.

FAQs
Can I use this tape for mailing heavy packages?
No, this tape is designed for light-duty office use and paper applications; it lacks the thickness and heavy-duty adhesive required for securing heavy shipping boxes.
Does this tape fit in a standard desk tape dispenser?
These rolls use a small core, so they may not fit standard office dispensers designed for 1-inch or 3-inch cores. It is best used as a handheld roll.
Is the tape archival safe?
While excellent for general use, it is not labeled as acid-free, so it is not recommended for preserving important historical documents or precious photographs long-term.
How many rolls are included?
Each purchase includes a pack of 8 rolls.
Does the tape yellow over time?
Like most clear adhesive tapes, extended exposure to UV light may cause some discoloration over several years, though it is resistant under normal indoor office conditions.
Troubleshooting
Tape is difficult to tear straight
Apply a slightly sharper, quicker pull at a 45-degree angle rather than pulling slowly across the roll.
Tape loses stickiness over time
Ensure that the tape was not exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can dry out the adhesive layer.
Edge of the tape is hard to find
Fold the very end of the tape over on itself by about 2mm to create a non-sticky tab for easier access next time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, simply pull the desired length of tape from the roll and apply a sharp, downward motion against the serrated edge or simply pull at an angle to tear. Ensure the surface you are applying the tape to is clean and free of dust or oils to maximize adhesion. For storage, keep the rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive from degrading or yellowing over time. Since these rolls feature a small core, check that your current tape dispenser is compatible with smaller internal diameters before attempting to mount them.
