Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In 1930, 3M engineer Richard Drew invented an attractive, moisture-proof material to help grocers and bakers seal up their packages. Over 70 years later, Scotch^® tape boasts over 400 varieties sold under the Scotch^® and 3M™ brands.

Now indispensible in homes and offices, Scotch^® tapes offer specialty and general solutions for many projects--from crafts and gift-wrapping to mounting and everyday sealing.

Scotch® Magic™ Tape   Frosty on the roll but invisible on paper, Scotch® Magic™ Tape features the original matte-finish design for a strong hold and seamless look. This tape pulls off the roll and cuts smoothly, resisting splits and tears for a sturdy piece. Thanks to its gentle adhesive, you can stick then re-stick each piece as your project demands, then jot a helpful note with a pen or pencil on top when you're done. Ideal Use: All home and office needs and craft projects.

Scotch® GiftWrap Tape   Keep your presents secure and looking fabulous with Scotch® GiftWrap Tape. Featuring a unique satin finish, this tape pulls smoothly from the roll and disappears on most gift-wrap papers for a seamless close. The paper holds together, and your gift takes on a professional appearance. Ideal Use: Gift-wrapping.

Scotch® MultiTask Tape   For those everyday jobs, Scotch® MultiTask Tape features a strong, moisture-resistant material ideal for a wide range of taping tasks. Thanks to its high-quality performance and unique design with crystal clarity, it's easy to subtly add a strip to a project for a professional look and a secure hold. Ideal Use: General tasks around the home and office, including household mending and sealing.

Scotch® Double-Sided Tape   Versatile and convenient, Scotch® Double-Sided Tape offers a mess-free alternative to glue sticks for those light-duty attaching and mounting tasks. Featuring a two-sided adhesive, this tape comes in both a permanent and removable style so you can match the proper tape to the task. As a bonus, this tape is photo-friendly so you can keep your memories securely attached and looking good. Ideal Use: Craft projects, mounting, sealing, gift-wrapping, and decorating.

Scotch® Removable Tape   Scotch® Removable Tape features a unique adhesive that holds papers securely, while allowing you to remove or reposition each strip as needed. Because of its matte-finish, this tape adds a professional touch to layouts or posters. For those moments when you require a little explanation, jot a quick note on top with a pen or pencil. Ideal Use: General tasks around the home and office. Great for art, graphic design, or architectural layout projects.

Scotch® Pop-Up Tape   Offering handy pre- cut strips, Scotch® Pop-Up Tape puts convenience and organization at your fingertips. With several dispenser types to choose from, you can wear tape on your wrist, stick a tape disk to your desk, or use a mountable or portable dispenser where you need it most. The one-handed dispensing method allows you to work without pausing, so you can finish projects with ease and efficiency. Ideal Use: Gift-wrapping, desk, and home-office use.

Scotch® Packaging Tape For strapping, sealing, and protecting packages, nothing compares to Scotch® Packaging Tapes. Ideal for shipping and storing, each tape is tear- and split-resistant for high-quality containment.

Scotch® Scissors An ideal tool for home, office, and school, Scotch® Scissors offer high-quality performance and comfortable grip. Featuring titanium-fused or stainless steel blades, each scissor is designed to cut smoothly and accurately.

Scotch® Cutting Tools Scotch™ Cutters offer a faster, safer way to make clean, straight cuts. Ideal for gift-wrapping, opening mail, or cutting coupons, these tools offer speed and convenience for today's Scotch® users.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its Scotch Tape! Highly Recommended!, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Scotch Magic Tape, 1/2 x 450 Inches (104) (Office Product)

This Matte Finish "Magic" Tape is so much better than the generic types for most uses. It goes on totally clear on most paper, it is very strong, and the matte finish doesn't easily reflect light so it doesn't draw attention to itself.

The brand name "Scotch" has become a "proprietary eponym" for this type of clear tape, along the same lines as Band-Aid, Kleenex, and Saran wrap for their respective products. This generally happens only when a product is the best of its kind and has become the de-facto standard. This is certainly the case for Scotch Tape.

It may cost a little more, but it generally worth it. Highly Recommended!

Although this tape works wonders in joining things together, seemingly magically, the tape is not magical. I did try to rub it to see if a geenie came out. Nothing. Put some on a carpet and tried to fly of my roof. Nothing. Put some in a top hat, said abra cadabra but only found the tape. No bunny. If you need to join say two peices of paper together, seemlessly and easily so that it looks like "magic" is holding them together, then this is the tape for you. If you want to make an elephant disappear, use something else.
