How It Works

Banner Done in Four Steps

Step 1: Apply TigerTape to banner edge
Step 1

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.

Step 2: Peel the TigerTape liner
Step 2

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.

Step 3: Fold the banner hem
Step 3

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.

Step 4: Hang the banner
Step 4

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.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is tiger tape used for?
Tiger tape is used to finish banner hems without sewing. Sign shops fold the edge of a vinyl, mesh, or fabric banner over the double-sided tape to create a clean, reinforced hem — then add grommets or Banner Ups® tabs at the corners for hanging.
Is TigerTape double-sided?
Yes. TigerTape is a double-sided PET (polyester) film tape with a high-tack acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides, so the folded banner edge bonds to itself for a permanent hem.
Will TigerTape work outdoors?
Yes. TigerTape is engineered for outdoor banners, with UV, temperature, and plasticizer resistance so hemmed edges hold up in sun, heat, and weather.
What materials does tiger tape stick to?
TigerTape bonds permanently to common banner substrates and more — vinyl, mesh, and fabric banners, coroplast, foam core and foams, plastics, metals, and composites.
What is the difference between TigerTape, PowerTape, and MegaTape?
TigerTape is a premium quality double-sided banner hem tape at an economical price. PowerTape is a single-sided hem reinforcing tape that eliminates folding requirements. MegaTape is a double-sided version of PowerTape with superior tensile strength compared to TigerTape.
Can TigerTape be used to make a pole pocket hem?
No. Pole pocket hems require a very specialized adhesive tape. We recommend PoleTape or TexTape for pole pocket applications — both are designed specifically to meet those requirements.

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.”
