Why is ordinary Sellotape the enemy of your books?

Many of us have seen old documents with brown, brittle marks from ordinary office tape. The acids contained within it eat into the paper over time, causing irreversible stains and weakening the fibres. Archival tape is a completely different technology. Thanks to its neutral pH, the adhesive does not degrade the paper, even after decades.

Find the perfect solution for your project

• Repairing tears: The transparent tapes offered are designed to become almost invisible once applied, without altering the flexibility of the card.
• Structural reinforcement Paper tapes perfectly stabilise creases and torn pages, while textile tapes are the best choice for saving spines and covers.
• Precision and control Heat-activated adhesive tapes (activated by heat, e.g. from a cautery iron) allow for the perfect positioning of material before final adhesion. Traditionalists, in turn, will appreciate water-activated tapes based on natural starch.
• Risk-free installation: For those creating albums or protective packaging, we've prepared dot adhesives in dispensers – they allow for precise, clean application without the risk of soiling valuable keepsakes.

By choosing acid-free certified tapes, you are giving your collections the best: professional protection that stands the test of time.
