Double Sided Tape For Signage And Displays
Double sided tape is the preferred choice for a wide range of signage and display applications, because it offers both practical and aesthetic advantages.
Easy to use and cost-effective double sided tape provides strong adhesion and creates a durable bond on a variety of materials (including paper, cardboard, metal, glass and plastic). Because double sided tape is hidden between surfaces and “invisible,” it doesn’t negatively impact the look of a sign or display. As an added benefit, many double sided tapes can be removed without leaving behind residue or damaging surfaces.
Below are some of the most common uses and applications for double sided tape in signage and displays.
Mounting Signs, Foam Boards, And Posters
One of the most common uses of double sided tape is mounting signs, foam boards, and posters. The tape provides a clean look, without the need for fasteners, and it can be removed without damaging walls or surfaces.
Hanging Banners
Double sided tape can be used to hang banners and/or secure their sides to keep them from flapping. Thanks to weather-resistant options in double sided tape, they can be used on indoor and outdoor banners. Double sided tape can also be used to produce supple vinyl banners, to make the loop channels (top and bottom) for the metal supporting rods used to weigh the banners down from flapping in the wind.
Securing Graphics And Panels
Precise placement of graphics and panels on display boards or walls is easy with double sided tape – for temporary or permanent mounting.
Installing Glass And Acrylic Panels
Clear double sided tape provides a strong bond for transparent materials and helps maintain a clean look.
Affixing Decorative Elements
Trim, borders, accent pieces, and other decorative elements can be securely attached without damaging the base material.
Attaching Nameplates And Labels
Attaching nameplates and labels with double sided tape is quick and easy, and it eliminates the need for visible fasteners (such as nails or screws).
Fixing Point Of Sale (POS) Materials
Promotional materials can be installed at the point of sale by using double sided tape – no need for drilling or permanent fasteners.
Holding Floor Graphics
Double sided tape can hold floor graphics in place, even in high-traffic areas.
Keep Edges Down On Signs And Displays
On virtually any type of sign or display, double sided tape can be used to prevent lifting at the edges and keep corners down, helping to ensure a more finished appearance.
Creating Retail Window Displays
With double sided tape, sales signs, product features, decorative elements, and more can be easily added to retail windows (and removed) for seasonal promotions and new product launches.
Temporary Displays For Tradeshows, Exhibits, And Conferences
Double sided tape is a must-have at tradeshows, exhibits, and conferences, because its quick installation and easy removal make it ideal for temporary setups. Double sided tape can be used for:
- trade show booths (attach signage, banners, and posters to the walls of the booth)
- exhibition panels (attach and reposition information panels, artwork, and graphics to exhibition walls or partitions)
- event signage (temporarily mount directional signs, schedules, and info boards, and easily move them as needed, based on the event flow)
- conference displays (attach posters, charts, and presentation materials to display boards or walls)
- display stands (attach panels, shelves, decorative elements, graphics, signage, and more to display stands)
- photo displays and collages (attach photos or collages for events and corporate functions)
- table top displays (attach tabletop displays to keep them from moving)
