Scotch Double Sided Tape earns its spot as a reliable, no-fuss adhesive for paper crafts, scrapbooking, and gift wrapping. It's not built for heavy-duty bonding, but for its intended purpose—seamless, invisible sticking power—it consistently delivers.
Scotch Double Sided Tape is a staple for crafters, scrapbookers, and gift wrappers who need a clean, invisible bond without the mess of liquid glue. Coated on both sides with a reliable adhesive, this tape lets you join paper, photos, fabric swatches, and lightweight embellishments with a quick press and hold. It disappears into your project instead of standing out like a visible seam of clear tape, making it a favorite for card making, collage work, and mixed media art. The roll is housed on a sturdy dispenser (depending on the version purchased) or comes as a bare roll with an easy-lift edge, so you can pull off strips without hunting for the start every time. The adhesive is strong enough to hold layered paper elements and lightweight embellishments securely, yet the tape itself is thin enough that it won't create bulk or visible ridges under your finished piece. It's acid-free and safe for use on photos and memory-keeping projects, so your keepsakes stay protected over time. Beyond scrapbooking, this double sided tape is handy for gift wrapping seams, mounting stickers, attaching ribbon, and securing lightweight fabric pieces in sewing or costume projects. Crafters appreciate that it tears cleanly with fingers in many versions, skips the need for scissors, and leaves minimal residue when repositioning is done quickly. It's become a quiet workhorse in craft rooms, tucked into drawers alongside scissors and glue sticks, ready whenever a seamless bond is needed.
I've used this tape for years on photo albums and it never yellows or lifts. The acid-free label gives me peace of mind with old family photos.
The bond itself is excellent for card making, but my dispenser jammed a couple of times when I pulled too fast. Once I slowed down it was fine.
Switched from regular tape for wrapping gifts and it looks so much cleaner. Seams are basically invisible under wrapping paper.
Works great on paper and thin fabric trim, but I noticed it struggles a bit on thicker embossed cardstock. Still my go-to for most projects.
I layer a lot of paper for mixed media pieces and this tape keeps everything flat without bulk. Tears cleanly with my fingers too.
