How It Works
Banner Done in Four Steps
Apply TigerTape
Lay the banner face down and peel a length of TigerTape. Apply it continuously along all four sides — of the banner’s back surface.
Peel Liner
Once TigerTape is positioned, peel back the release liner to expose the second adhesive layer. Work from one end to the other for a smooth, bubble-free result.
Fold Hem
Fold the banner edge over onto the exposed adhesive and press firmly along the entire length. The double-sided bond creates a clean, professional hem — no sewing required.
Hang
Insert grommets or use Banner Ups® tabs at the corners and hang with rope, bungee, or zip ties. Banner done — clean hem, no tools, no sewing.
About the Product
What Is TigerTape?
TigerTape is a premium double-sided banner tape built for finishing banner hems without a sewing machine. It’s a polyester (PET) film carrier coated on both sides with a high-tack acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, so you fold the banner edge over the tape and the hem bonds to itself instantly — no sewing, no welding, no heat.
Available in five widths from 1/2" to 3" on 36 yd rolls — with longer 72 yd TigerTape 2 and hand-tearable TigerTape 3 options — tiger tape is the double-sided hem tape sign shops keep on the bench for everyday vinyl, mesh, and fabric banner production.

Customer Reviews
What Sign Pros Are Saying
“Your products were recommended to us by another sign company and holy cow, what a difference it made for our digital banners. We had creasing and wrinkling issues with our grommet method — PowerTape with PowerTabs completely solved it. The banners lay flat and look professional.”
“Banner Ups are the only product that last in the market. They are tough as nails with wind! We’re in Oklahoma — wind is not a joke here. PowerTape over PowerTabs and we’ve never had a failure. Nothing even comes close.”
