Double Sided Tape - Perm
48mm G.P Double Sided Tissue Tape (Permanent) — Overview
General-purpose double sided tissue tape is a thin, flexible bonding tape designed for fast, clean joining of lightweight materials. With a tissue carrier and permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides, it’s a popular choice for day-to-day mounting, laminating and assembly tasks where you want an instant bond without the mess of liquid glues.
This listing covers a general-purpose, permanent double sided tissue tape supplied in a convenient roll format. Because this is often used across multiple workflows (print finishing, packaging, display build, craft and light industrial assembly), it’s valued for its low-profile bond line, good conformability and quick stick to common substrates.
Key Features
General-purpose permanent bond:
Designed for applications where you want a lasting hold on suitable surfaces, with pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides for quick joining.
Tissue carrier (thin & conformable):
The tissue carrier helps the tape sit flat with a neat finish and allows it to follow gentle curves and minor surface texture.
Fast, clean application:
Applies quickly by hand or with dispensers, helping reduce mess and drying time compared with wet adhesives.
Low build / discreet finish:
Ideal where you want a tidy bond line for mounting and laminating tasks, especially on paper and board.
Versatile adhesion to common materials:
Commonly used on paper, cardboard and many lightweight materials used in packaging and display work.
Suitable for converting:
Often used for die-cutting and converting into shapes for repeatable assembly processes (where appropriate for your equipment and substrate).
- 48mm width for efficient coverage on wider joins and mounting tasks
- Double sided adhesive for bonding two surfaces together
- Permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive for lasting attachment
- Tissue carrier for a thin, flexible bond line
- Roll format for easy storage and quick dispensing
Typical Uses
- Mounting lightweight posters, prints and display graphics
- Paper and board bonding in packaging and print finishing
- Laminating lightweight materials (where a thin adhesive layer is preferred)
- Splicing and joining paper or film webs in light-duty processes
- General assembly tasks where a clean, instant bond is needed
48mm G.P Double Sided Tissue Tape — Full Product Guide
Double sided tissue tape is widely used because it offers a practical balance of performance and ease of use. Below is a detailed guide to help you choose, apply and get the best results from a general-purpose permanent double sided tissue tape.
How It Works
This tape uses a tissue carrier coated on both sides with pressure-sensitive adhesive. When you apply pressure, the adhesive wets out onto the surface, creating a bond. Because it’s double sided, it’s ideal for joining two materials together without visible fixings.
For best results, apply the tape to the first surface, press firmly, then remove any release material (if present) and bring the second surface into position. Once aligned, apply firm, even pressure across the bond area.
Materials and Construction
Carrier: Tissue carriers are chosen for their thinness and flexibility. This helps create a neat finish and allows the tape to conform to slight surface irregularities.
Adhesive: A general-purpose permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive is designed to provide a lasting hold on suitable substrates. Permanent adhesives are typically selected when you don’t intend to reposition after application.
Format: Supplied on a roll for convenient dispensing and storage. Roll format also supports repeatable application in production environments.
Surface Compatibility (What It Bonds Well To)
General-purpose double sided tissue tapes are commonly used on:
- Paper and card
- Carton board and many packaging materials
- Lightweight display substrates
- Some plastics and foams used in craft and display build (test first)
Important: Adhesion depends heavily on the surface condition and material type. Always test on your actual substrate, especially if it’s textured, coated, dusty, oily, or a low surface energy plastic.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is not a floor tape and is not intended for floor marking or long-term floor adhesion. If you need a tape for floors (e.g., warehouse marking), choose a dedicated floor marking tape designed for abrasion resistance and safe removal characteristics.
Health and Safety
- Use in a well-ventilated area and follow your workplace handling procedures.
- Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact with adhesive.
- Keep away from children and store in a cool, dry place.
- Dispose of liners and offcuts responsibly to reduce slip hazards.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Print finishing & graphics: Useful for mounting lightweight prints, assembling point-of-sale displays, and bonding paper-based materials where a thin adhesive layer is preferred.
Packaging assembly: Helps speed up carton and packaging tasks where a clean bond is needed without staples or wet glue.
Craft & hobby: A practical option for neat bonding of paper and card projects, and for mounting lightweight decorative elements.
Light-duty splicing: Can be used for joining webs in suitable light-duty processes (always test for your line speed and substrate).
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Storage: Keep the roll in its packaging when not in use. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Application tips:
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil and release agents.
- Apply firm pressure to improve adhesive wet-out and bond strength.
- Where possible, allow time after application for the bond to build before stressing the joint.
Removal: As this is a permanent adhesive, removal may be difficult and could damage delicate surfaces. If removability is required, consider a removable-grade tape instead.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A small print and display workshop uses general-purpose double sided tissue tape to assemble lightweight point-of-sale units. By applying tape strips to pre-cut board components, the team can align parts quickly, press to bond, and move straight to packing—reducing drying time and improving consistency compared with liquid adhesives. For best results, they keep substrates dust-free and apply firm pressure along the full bond line.
Who Is It For?
- Print finishers and display builders needing a clean, fast bonding method
- Packaging teams assembling paper/card components
- Workshops and maintenance teams handling light-duty mounting tasks
- Schools, studios and hobby users wanting a neat adhesive solution
Colours / Features Available
General-purpose tissue tapes are typically supplied with a tissue carrier and adhesive designed for discreet bonding. If you require a specific liner type or special performance (e.g., high temperature, outdoor durability, or removability), choose a tape engineered for that requirement.
Sizes Available
This product page may represent multiple pack quantities and/or roll options. Select the option that best suits your usage rate and workflow. If you need a specific width or a different tape construction, browse the double sided tape range for alternatives.
Note: Performance varies by substrate and conditions. Always test on your intended materials before full production use.
