The Banner Ups Tape Guide can be your roadmap for sorting out the confusing world of graphic tapes. By answering just a few simple questions, a color-coded system guides you to the product that is right for you,from these main application categories:

CATEGORY 1 : GRAPHIC OVERLAYS AND LAMINATING
Adhesive Transfer Tapes - These tapes are often referred to as “free films” because they are simply pure adhesive on a liner with no carrier film. When used to laminate paper or film, these allow you to imitate direct coating of adhesive on any surface, even in low volume. In thicker gauges, they can fill uneven surfaces to create high adhesion. The better quality transfer adhesives are clearer. These tapes are often used for graphic overlays, wide web lamination, nameplates, attaching layers, or kits for POP displays.

CATEGORY 2: POP Display Tapes and Adhesives
Double-Sided Film Tapes - Film tapes with rubber or high tack acrylic adhesive on both sides create quick, permanent, and low-cost bonds on relatively smooth substrates. Suitable for banner hemming, assembly of smoother flexible or rigid vinyl, polystyrene, plastics, foam board, nameplates, metals, etc., or flush mounting indoor signs and displays. Specialty versions include Hi-Lo tapes with removable adhesive on one side for easy replacement.
