What Is Application Tape?

Application tape is a transfer tape used to move cut vinyl lettering, decals, and graphics from their release liner to the final surface while keeping the design aligned and together. At Presto Tape, application tapes are available in paper or film including embossed and layflat from low to maximum high tack. Application Tapes are ideal for sign making, transferring vinyl lettering and graphics, and premasking large graphics.

The right application tape depends on the graphic and the installation method. Presto Tape’s product offerings include medium-high tack paper tapes for consistent transfer of vinyl graphics, high tack embossed film tapes for clean pickup and smaller vinyl graphics and lettering, and layflat paper tapes to move quickly through stacked projects. Low tack paper is perfect for large to medium designs and letters.
