Double Sided Tape - Perm
Overview
Double-sided tissue tape is a thin, flexible, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape designed to bond two surfaces together cleanly and discreetly. This product is supplied as a roll of permanent double-sided tissue tape, making it a practical choice for everyday fixing, mounting, splicing and light assembly tasks where you want a neat finish without visible fasteners. The tissue (non-woven) carrier helps the tape conform to slight surface texture, while the permanent adhesive is intended for long-lasting bonds once applied with firm pressure.
Because this is a configurable product listing, the tape may be available in multiple widths and pack quantities. Please select the option that best suits your application.
Key Features
Permanent bonding
Designed for applications where you want the bond to remain in place over time. Once applied to clean, dry surfaces and pressed firmly, the adhesive forms a strong, lasting hold.
Thin, discreet profile
Tissue tapes are typically chosen when you need a low-profile bond line—ideal for mounting and joining where bulkier foam tapes would be unsuitable.
Conformable tissue carrier
The tissue/non-woven carrier helps the tape follow gentle curves and accommodate minor surface irregularities, improving contact area and adhesion on many common materials.
Clean, fast application
A simple peel-and-stick process speeds up assembly and reduces mess compared with liquid adhesives. It’s especially useful for repetitive tasks and production environments.
Versatile material compatibility
Commonly used for bonding paper, card, films, foams and textiles, as well as general mounting and laminating tasks where a permanent double-sided adhesive is required.
Roll format for efficient use
Supplied on a roll for easy dispensing and consistent application. Suitable for hand application or use with tape dispensers (where compatible).

Double Sided Tissue Tape — Full Product Guide
This guide explains what double-sided tissue tape is, how to get the best performance from it, and where it typically fits within packaging, print, display and general assembly workflows.
How It Works
Double-sided tissue tape uses a thin tissue (non-woven) carrier coated on both sides with pressure-sensitive adhesive. You apply the tape to the first surface, press firmly to ensure full contact, then remove the release liner (if present) and bond the second surface. The bond strength develops through good surface contact and pressure; for best results, apply firm, even pressure across the entire bonded area.
Materials and Construction
Tissue / non-woven carrier: The carrier provides stability and helps the tape conform to gentle curves and minor texture. Tissue carriers are often selected when you need a thin tape that still handles well during application.
Permanent adhesive: Permanent adhesives are intended for long-term bonding rather than temporary positioning. Performance depends on surface energy, cleanliness, pressure applied and environmental conditions.
Release liner: Many double-sided tapes include a removable liner to protect the adhesive until application. If your chosen variant includes a liner, peel it back gradually to keep the adhesive clean and avoid stretching the tape.
Surface Preparation (Best Practice)
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and dust-free before application.
- Remove oils, release agents and residues that can reduce adhesion.
- Apply at a moderate temperature where possible; very cold surfaces can reduce initial tack.
- Use firm pressure (hand roller if available) to maximise contact area.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is not a floor tape and is not intended as a flooring installation adhesive. If you need a tape for flooring, carpet fitting or floor marking, please choose a tape specifically designed and rated for that purpose.
Health and Safety
- Use in a well-ventilated area and follow your site’s handling procedures for pressure-sensitive adhesives.
- Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact; wash hands after use.
- Keep away from children and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Always test on a small area first if you are bonding delicate, coated or printed surfaces.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Print, packaging and finishing: Tissue tapes are commonly used for light-duty bonding, splicing and laminating tasks where a thin adhesive layer is preferred.
Displays and signage: Useful for mounting lightweight graphics, trims and components where you want a clean, hidden bond line.
General assembly: Suitable for quick bonding of compatible materials in workshops, studios and production environments.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Storage: Keep rolls sealed or in original packaging to reduce dust contamination.
- Temperature: Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight to help preserve adhesive performance.
- Handling: Avoid touching the adhesive with fingers; oils can reduce bond strength.
- Removal: Permanent tapes may leave residue or damage delicate surfaces. If removal is required, test a suitable adhesive remover on an inconspicuous area first.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
Scenario: A small packaging operation needs a neat way to mount lightweight printed cards onto presentation boards without visible fixings.
Approach: The operator applies strips of double-sided tissue tape to the reverse of each card, presses firmly, removes the liner and positions the card onto the board. A hand roller is used to apply even pressure.
Outcome: The finished presentation has a clean appearance with a thin bond line and consistent adhesion across multiple units.
Who is it for?
- Packaging and print finishing teams needing a fast, clean bonding method
- Sign and display makers mounting lightweight components
- Workshops and studios looking for a thin, permanent double-sided tape
- Craft and presentation users who want a discreet adhesive solution
