ATG Tape

ATG Tape

Definition: ATG Tape is a type of double-sided adhesive tape designed for attaching paper-based and lightweight materials. Unlike liquid glue, it provides a clean, instant bond without drying time, making it a popular choice in picture framing, scrapbooking, and other paper crafts.

How It Works

• ATG Tape comes on a roll wound with a release liner.
• When applied with an ATG Gun, the adhesive transfers directly to the surface while the liner is rewound inside the tool.
• This allows framers and artists to apply adhesive precisely without touching the sticky surface.

Applications

• Framing: Attaching mats to backing boards or dust covers to frame backs.
• Mounting: Securing lightweight artwork, photographs, or prints to backing substrates.
• Paper Crafts: Widely used in card making, scrapbooking, and bookbinding.
• General Use: Ideal for quick, mess-free adhesion in place of glue.

Advantages

• Instant bond with no drying time required.
• Cleaner and easier than liquid adhesives.
• Does not wrinkle or warp paper-based materials.
• Economical for high-volume use in framing shops.
