Double Sided Tape - Perm
Double Sided P/P Tape — Reliable, Clean Bonding for Packaging & General Fixing
Double sided polypropylene (P/P) tape is a practical, everyday solution when you need a neat, hidden bond without visible fasteners. Designed with adhesive on both sides, it helps you join two surfaces together cleanly—ideal for light-to-medium duty fixing tasks in packing areas, warehouses, offices, retail environments and general maintenance. This product is supplied as a roll of double sided P/P tape, making it easy to dispense, cut and apply as needed.
Because the carrier film is polypropylene, the tape is typically thin, flexible and easy to handle. It can be used to mount, hold, secure or position items where you want a tidy finish, such as attaching protective materials, securing liners, fixing lightweight components, or holding packaging elements in place during assembly.
Key Features
Double-sided bonding:
Adhesive on both sides helps create a concealed join between two surfaces, supporting a clean, professional finish.
Polypropylene (P/P) film carrier:
A PP carrier is commonly chosen for its balance of flexibility and handling, helping the tape conform to many everyday surfaces.
Permanent hold (as described):
This listing is for a permanent double sided tape option, intended for applications where you want the bond to remain in place rather than be repositioned.
Convenient roll format:
Supplied on a roll for straightforward dispensing and cutting to length, supporting repeatable application in busy packing or production areas.
Neat, low-profile finish:
Helps avoid the bulk of mechanical fixings and can be used where appearance matters (for example, point-of-sale, displays, or tidy packaging builds).

Double Sided P/P Tape — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right double sided tape is about matching the tape type to your surfaces, environment and the level of hold you need. The guide below explains what this style of tape is typically used for, how to apply it effectively, and what to consider before use.
How It Works
Double sided tape uses a carrier film (in this case polypropylene) coated with adhesive on both sides. One side is applied to the first surface, then the release liner is removed to expose the second adhesive layer, allowing you to bond the second surface. This creates a hidden join that can look cleaner than staples, pins, or visible single-sided tape.
For best results, apply firm, even pressure during application. Pressure helps the adhesive wet-out onto the surface, improving contact and bond strength.
Materials and Construction
Carrier: Polypropylene (P/P) film carrier.
Adhesive: This product is described as a permanent double sided tape option. Permanent adhesives are typically selected when you want the bond to remain in place for the life of the application.
Release liner: Double sided tapes are supplied with a removable liner to protect one adhesive face until you are ready to complete the bond.
Surface & Material Compatibility (General Guidance)
Double sided P/P tape is commonly used on many everyday materials. Performance depends heavily on the surface condition and the material type.
- Best practice: Clean, dry, dust-free surfaces generally give the strongest bond.
- Smoother surfaces: Typically allow better adhesive contact than rough or dusty surfaces.
- Low surface energy plastics: Some plastics can be more challenging for adhesives; testing on your exact material is recommended.
If you are unsure, apply a short test strip first and check adhesion after a period of time.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is a general double sided tape rather than a dedicated flooring installation tape. If you are using it for temporary positioning or light-duty fixing on floors, test first and ensure the surface is clean and dry. For flooring-specific applications, a purpose-designed flooring tape is usually recommended.
Health and Safety
- Use in a well-ventilated area and follow good workplace hygiene practices.
- Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact with adhesive.
- Keep away from children and store in a cool, dry place.
- When cutting, use a suitable safety cutter and cut away from the body.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
This tape is a strong choice when you need a neat bond for everyday tasks, including:
- Packaging build and finishing: Holding inserts, liners, or protective layers in place.
- Assembly and kitting: Securing lightweight components during packing or dispatch preparation.
- Retail and display: Mounting lightweight signage or display elements where a clean finish is important.
- General fixing: Quick, tidy bonding for light-to-medium duty tasks around the workplace.
Application Tips (Getting the Best Bond)
- Prepare the surface: Remove dust, grease and moisture. A clean surface is one of the biggest factors in tape performance.
- Apply with pressure: Press firmly along the tape length to improve contact.
- Allow time: Many permanent adhesives build strength over time; avoid stressing the bond immediately after application.
- Use the right length: Increase the bonded area for heavier items rather than relying on a short strip.
- Test first: Especially on painted, coated, textured or plastic surfaces.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Once applied, double sided tape generally requires no maintenance. If you need to remove residue from a surface, test a small area first and use an appropriate cleaner for the substrate. Always follow the surface manufacturer’s guidance to avoid damage.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A packing bench needs a quick way to secure protective sheets and lightweight inserts during order assembly.
- Operators apply short lengths of double sided P/P tape to the inside of cartons or to a backing sheet.
- The liner is removed and the protective layer is positioned and pressed into place.
- The result is a tidy, consistent finish that helps keep materials aligned during packing and transit preparation.
This kind of workflow benefits from the roll format and the clean, concealed bond that double sided tape provides.
Who Is It For?
- Warehouses and dispatch teams assembling and finishing packaging
