Double Sided Cloth Tape
These can vary from very open cloths, which are little different to scrims, to cloth backings that are tightly woven. The tighter the weave the better suited a cloth will be for temporary applications such as laying exhibition floor coverings.
Widely used in the flooring industry where a high mass weight of adhesive is required, here at Surepak we have a wide range of options available to meet differing application requirements be they short-term or permanent. Most cloths are easily hand-torn and, as they have a high mass weight of adhesive coated on them are particularly suited to rough or more complex surfaces.

Uses of Double Sided Fabric Tape
Double-sided tapes are a versatile adhesive product with various applications due to its strength, durability, and ability to adhere to various surfaces. Here are some common uses and examples of what double-sided cloth tape can hold:
Mounting Objects: It can securely mount objects such as signs, nameplates, hooks, or brackets onto walls, doors, or other surfaces.
Carpet Installation: Double-sided cloth tape is commonly used to hold down carpet tiles or seams, providing a stable and long-lasting bond.
Woodworking and Construction: Double-stick fabric tape can be used in woodworking projects to temporarily or permanently attach wood pieces during assembly or construction.
Securing Mats and Rugs: Double-sided cloth tape is effective for securing mats, rugs, or runners to various flooring surfaces, preventing them from slipping or shifting.
Bonding Fabrics: It can be used for fabric-based projects such as hemming curtains, attaching fabric swatches, or crafting.
Sealing and Reinforcing: Double-sided cloth tape can seal and reinforce seams in fabric or other materials, providing additional strength and durability.
Splicing and Joining Materials: It can join materials together, such as joining rolls of paper or fabric during manufacturing processes.
Mounting Photography and Artwork: Double-sided cloth tape is often used by photographers and artists to mount photographs, prints, or artwork onto mounting boards or display surfaces.
Temporary Fixes: It can serve as a temporary fix for various household repairs, such as temporarily securing loose items or temporarily patching minor damages.
Automotive Applications: since it holds light metals, double-sided cloth tape can be used for attaching trim, emblems, or other components inside or outside the vehicle.
Double Sided Tape VS Standard Industrial Tape
Double-sided cloth tape and standard industrial tape serve different purposes and have different properties, so the choice between them depends on the specific application you have in mind.
Double-Sided Cloth Tape
- Composition: Double-sided cloth tape typically consists of a cloth or fabric backing with adhesive applied to both sides.
- Strength and Durability: It tends to be more robust and durable compared to standard industrial tape. The cloth backing provides strength and stability, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Adhesion: Double-sided cloth tape usually has strong adhesion on both sides, making it ideal for applications where you need to bond two surfaces together permanently.
- Versatility: It's often used for mounting, splicing, bonding, and other applications where a strong, double-sided adhesive is needed.
- Usage: Common applications include carpet installation, woodworking, mounting signs or displays, and securing objects in a place where traditional adhesives might not suffice.
Standard Industrial Tape
- Composition: Standard industrial tape can vary widely in composition, but it typically consists of a plastic or paper backing with adhesive applied to one side.
- Strength and Durability: Industrial tapes come in various strengths and durability levels depending on your specific type. They might not be as robust as double-sided cloth tape in terms of sheer strength and durability.
- Adhesion: While industrial tapes can have strong adhesion, they might not have adhesive on both sides like double-sided cloth tape. They are often designed for specific applications where single-sided bonding is sufficient.
- Versatility: Industrial tapes come in a wide range of types suited for different purposes, including packaging, sealing, bundling, and masking.
- Usage: Industrial tapes are commonly used in packaging, sealing boxes, repairing minor damages, bundling items together, and other applications where a strong single-sided adhesive is needed.
If you need a strong adhesive bond on both sides of the material, particularly for heavy-duty applications, double-sided cloth tape would be more suitable. On the other hand, if you need a single-sided adhesive for various industrial applications, standard industrial tape may suffice, and you'll have a broader range of options to choose from depending on your specific requirements.
