Double sided tape is used in many industries where materials need to be joined without screws, nails or other mechanical fixings. From mounting signs and trims to bonding plastics and foam, the right tape can make installation easier and create a neat finish. However, not every tape is suitable for every job. The adhesive, carrier and surface material all affect how well the tape performs. What makes a double sided tape strong? The strength of a tape depends on its construction and adhesive formulation. Some products use acrylic adhesives, while others use synthetic rubber adhesives. The carrier also matters. Filmic tapes use carriers such as PET, PVC or PP. These provide support and rigidity, making them useful for bonding flexible or semi-flexible materials. Tissue tapes are more conformable and can work well with materials such as foam, vinyl and board. For applications requiring a permanent bond between solid surfaces, high-bond acrylic tapes may be a suitable option. STI...

A sealed package can pass through several locations before reaching its destination. It may be handled by warehouse staff, transport providers and distribution teams along the way. When the sender cannot monitor every stage, security tamper evident tape offers a practical way to identify whether a package seal has been disturbed. STIKON's S-VOID range is designed for applications where visible evidence of interference is important. These security tapes reveal a VOID message when removed, helping recipients identify that the original seal has been broken. The range includes different tape constructions for packaging and other security requirements. How VOID Tape Works Unlike ordinary packaging tape, tamper-evident tape is designed to leave an indication when somebody attempts to remove it. The visible message provides a quick way to check the condition of the seal without needing specialist equipment. STIKON's S-VOID Premium security tape uses a PET backing with an acry...

Adhesive tape is used in more ways than many businesses realise. It can help join materials, mount components, seal packaging, protect surfaces or provide visible evidence if a package has been opened. However, the right choice depends on the application, which is why finding a suitable adhesive tape supplier UK businesses can work with is important. STIKON supplies adhesive tapes for industrial, commercial and professional requirements. Its product range covers double-sided tapes, foam tapes, high-bond tapes, single-sided tapes and security products. This variety allows customers to explore different adhesive solutions rather than relying on one tape for every job. Different Projects Need Different Tapes A tape that works well for packaging may not be suitable for mounting a component or bonding two rigid materials. The carrier, adhesive type, thickness and surface all influence the final result. For mounting and sealing tasks, STIKON offers foam tapes in different densities,...

Carpet fitting often comes down to getting the small details right. The flooring needs to stay in position, edges should remain neat, and the fixing method must suit the surface underneath. Double stick tape for carpet offers a practical option for securing carpets and joining flooring materials without complicated installation methods. STIKON supplies S-FIX CARPET, a double-sided fabric tape developed for permanent carpet fixing and other applications. It combines a PET cloth carrier with a high-tack synthetic rubber adhesive, providing strong initial adhesion for flooring and furniture-related work. The tape is designed to be torn by hand or cut with a blade, making it convenient for installers working with different carpet sizes. What Makes Carpet Tape Suitable for the Job? Not every double-sided tape is intended for flooring. The carrier material, adhesive and overall construction all influence how a tape performs. STIKON's carpet tape uses a fabric carrier that supports...

Keeping a package securely closed is important, but sometimes it is equally important to know whether that package has been opened. A tamper proof seal can help provide that extra indication by making interference visible rather than leaving the recipient to rely solely on the condition of the outer packaging. STIKON's security range includes S-VOID security tapes and tamper-evident labels designed to show evidence when a seal or package has been disturbed. The products are available in different formats to suit cartons, packaging and other applications. Visible Evidence of Interference The S-VOID Premium security tape is designed for boxes, containers and pallets. It uses a strong PET backing with an acrylic adhesive system and can be applied to fibreboard and plastic surfaces. Once removed, the tape reveals an OPENED VOID message, making the change immediately visible. For certain applications, STIKON also offers security labels. These include no-residue and total-transf...

Some applications need a strong fixing during use but should not leave adhesive behind when the job is finished. This is where Perm Peel tape offers a useful approach. STIKON's S-FIX Perm Peel tape is a double-sided tape designed with different adhesive characteristics on either side of its PET carrier. The idea behind a perm/peel tape is fairly straightforward. One side provides a permanent bond to the item being mounted, while the other side is designed to hold the item securely but allow it to be removed later. STIKON's S-FIX removable mounting tape uses this principle for applications such as temporary signage and displays. Two Adhesive Sides, Two Different Jobs The permanent side of STIKON's S-FIX tape is intended to bond to materials such as paper, card, board and high-energy plastics. The removable side has a lower grip and is designed to hold against surfaces including glass, ABS and PVC. This combination can be useful where a sign or display needs to remai...
