I have found great rubber tape in local Marc's store. I do not know if you have something like that in your area. I paid $.99 for 2 rolls :)
No residue when removing the tape. I bought 60 rolls which will last me at least 2 years

We've been using this forever, great tape, peels easy after a long run

we don't have them here at least I have never seen one. I usually buy from Atlantic Tape but they have went to $2.70 a roll (normal size). I figured I could beat that price. I usually use the tan Intertape brand but can change with no problem :)
-
j& j in spokane? just burned through a case and I think it's just dandy. great for wb.too and they are very close to us. I think it's inter tape and maybe it's a little cheaper somewhere out there but we try to keep the dollars in the region.
pmi is the jam as well, used it for years, but a little spendy

The tape J&J sells is exactly what I get from a local supplier. I bought 3 cases from J&J a few years ago then had my local tape supplier match it because it worked so well. J&J has the best price on that type of tape that I've been able to find, and they'll come down on their price if you play hardball with them. They are nice people I think, a little aggressive with the phone calls but they aren't real pushy when they call to check on you. I think they sell a ton of that tape that's why they can get so low in price. I think it was around 4.15/roll a few years ago and last time I talked to them they said they couldn't really match that price any longer since things have gone up but they would get close if I bought a couple cases.

If you have one in your area, Ace hardware. There brand 3" roll 2.99 and it works great. Been using it for 14 years.

Jason, is it labeled as natural rubber adhesive?
-
I use the clear box tape from a company called TapeZit. Ed is a great guy to work with and his prices beat Uline. I also have a 3" table top tape dispenser, makes taping easy.

If you have a Menards near you(mainly Midwest but expanding rapidly) we get this:

Comes in a sleeve of 6, it is something like $9.00, BUT they always have 11% off sales or you can use a Home Depot/Lowes 10% off coupon. I usually by them 48 at a time then...
It does not work well for water based printing, I stick with Uline there like everyone else.

no.
-
But the Ace tape peels cleanly with minimal residue?
I have to assume so or you wouldn't still be using it lol!

Exactly!

I really wish the tape sellers, office suppliers, hardware stores, everyone, would list the adhesive type, the film type and the thickness all easy to find on the label, the shrinkwrap package or better, the tube!

No one cares about tape like we do Andy. To most folks, tape is tape.
I did notice that my contractor pops buys the same Polyken protective ducttapeonsteroids cheaper
than I do.
-
Actually the tape suppliers I use (like U-Line) list all that information. The average Joe does'nt care but there are literally thousands of options for industrial tapes for applications too numerous too mention. Those people care.
-
Tony, U-line, at least, lists everything on their site and in the catalog, but not on the product itself.
So I have two issues here.
1. in the office or hardware store, adhesive type is rarely on the label along with the size, thickness and sometimes material.
2. when I have a roll on the shelf from someone who does offer rubber adhesive (like Uline), it is not marked as such. What I don't know is if their cores are printed in different colors for different tape types, but I doubt it, and besides, I don't have the decoder ring.
-
That is true. On a side note when I ran a form coil dept. for an electric motor rewind shop we had probably close to a hundred varities of tape used for insulation. It's critical that the correct ones are used when re-making the coils. And yes the actual rolls/cores were never marked.

Yupper. I've been using this since Frog mentioned it earlier this year. Absolutely NO residue. I used to use blue painters tape, but damn, it's expensive.
-
Well, I think that Sean at ebscreen mentioned it to me! Credit where due ;D
For fifteen years previously, I used something from Central and/or Intertape, but about five years ago, discontinued the rubber based one.
-
J&J whoops Uline on pricing for that, presuming the same mil thickness and all that. These are 110yd rolls as well. As I said, very good for WB and therefore everything else.
They also have 4" tape which we need I guess. Our coater is less wide than it could be to avoid the sagging, softened corner of the roller frames (not so bad on ones I stretch, flappin' in the breeze on the panels though) so the 3" needs to get doubled up on the long rollers which is a waste compared to just using 4".
Even the 4" from them is cheaper than the 3" in that uline link and yes, they will deal with you, particularly if you can go to a gross qty. Check 'em out. Tell 'em Zoo City Apparel and Al sent ya.

I'm only plugging them here b/c they seem nice enough and I think they are seriously selling this at a very slim margin, can't seem to find it cheaper anywhere. No affiliation.

Well, you "payed it forward" as it were. And I've done the same to the shop I work at occasionally in Daytona. They're on their second carton there. The savings in time and aggravation are immeasurable.

We really like the white screen tape from Ryonet. Wouldn't use anything else.
-
Looks like my Ace brand 3" is being discontinued :'( I will be checking out this.

That tape is Shurtape VF-719, might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. I picked up a case off an eBay auction for about $1.50 a roll.

Let me know when you find another deal like that. Till then I'll stick with Frog's S-660 at $1.99/roll.

It looks like we are talking two vastly different tape types here. On one side we have various clear/tan/white polypropylene or pvc box sealing types, and on the other, paper paint masking types.
At least that's where Jason's link took me.

yep, the paper kind is what i have been using for 15 years, ZERO problems.
-
I think it depends on if you have wb in the house. Those crepe paper paint tapes and the like are great for plastisol but no dice for wb inks.

I would agree on long runs, but I do use it on the short run WB jobs I do.

I use some tape from ship-paq I get 110 yard for 3.70 a roll I think, I know it was under $4.00 it works great and their customer service is outstanding. In fact my rep Maria calls very month or so to check in. I think the minimum or is 18 rolls. it leaves no residue and comes right off in the tank if you forget.
-
Jason, call Ed at tape-zit. his prices are great and he's a local guy. super nice too. actually anybody can call him...
(770) 962-4395
We've used him for years.
