Transfer Tape

Transfer Tape for an Instant, Invisible Bond

Transfer tape is a layer of high-strength acrylic adhesive on a release liner, with no carrier film of its own. That is what sets it apart: it lays down adhesive only, so the bond is thin, flat and invisible, with nothing showing at the join. It grips most papers and films on contact, giving an instant bond that suits mounting artwork, brochures and printed pieces where a clean, flush finish matters. Premium Packaging supplies transfer tape in bulk to print, graphics, sign and promotional operations across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

Why No Carrier Matters

A carrier is the backing that most double sided tapes are built on. Transfer tape has none, so once it is applied and the liner is peeled, only a thin film of adhesive remains between the two surfaces. That gives a bond with no bulk and no edge to see, which is exactly what mounting artwork and print work needs, where a raised or visible join would spoil the finish. On smooth, flat surfaces such as paper, card and film, the result is a clean, flush bond that holds on contact.

Transfer Tape or a Carrier Tape

Match the tape to the surface. Transfer tape gives the thinnest, flush bond on smooth stock, which suits print, graphics and mounting. Where a surface is rough or the bond needs a bit of body, a carrier tape is the better choice: double sided polyester tape adds a thin film carrier for a strong, heat-resistant bond, and for spot bonding rather than a continuous line, glue dots place adhesive exactly where it is needed. Choose transfer tape for a flush, invisible join on flat surfaces, and a carrier tape or glue dots for rougher or heavier work.

Applying Transfer Tape

Transfer tape runs cleanly through a transfer tape applicator. A transfer tape dispenser lays the adhesive and takes up the liner in one pass, so an operator can apply a neat line of adhesive quickly along a print or panel. Matching the tape to a dispenser keeps mounting and print-finishing work moving without peeling liner by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is transfer tape used for?

Transfer tape bonds papers and films with a thin, invisible layer of adhesive, so it suits mounting artwork, brochures and printed pieces and assembling display and point-of-sale work. It grips on contact for an instant bond.

What size does it come in?

Transfer tape is supplied in 12mm x 33m rolls, 72 rolls to a carton. It uses a high-strength acrylic adhesive with excellent adhesion to most papers and films.

What is the difference between transfer tape and a double sided tape?

Transfer tape is adhesive only, with no carrier film, so it bonds thin and flush with no visible join. A double sided tape has a carrier for more body and strength, which suits rougher surfaces and heavier holds.

Does transfer tape need a dispenser?

It runs best through a transfer tape dispenser, which lays the adhesive and takes up the liner in one pass. That applies a neat line of adhesive quickly along a print or panel.

Can I order transfer tape in bulk?

Yes. Transfer tape is supplied by the roll in cartons in bulk, with recurring supply available for regular reorders, delivered Australia-wide from our Sydney base.
