FAQs

What is the primary use of this tape?

This tape is primarily used for decorative embellishment on clothing, crafts, packaging, and in jewelry making due to its unique ribbed texture and vibrant color.

Can this tape be sewn onto fabric?

Yes, the polyester material is suitable for sewing onto most fabrics. You can sew it directly onto your project for a secure and decorative finish.

How do I clean items decorated with this tape?

It is recommended to hand wash items in cool water. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing to maintain the tape's texture and color.

Is the red color fade-resistant?

Polyester generally offers good colorfastness, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading over time. Hand washing in cool water helps preserve the color.

What other colors and widths are available?

Prym offers this ribbed polyester tape in a great selection of colors and various widths to suit different project requirements.

Can I use this tape for outdoor projects?

While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions and UV rays may affect the tape's longevity and color. It is best suited for indoor or less exposed applications.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Use an appropriate adhesive for the material (e.g., fabric glue for textiles, craft glue for paper).

Color is bleeding when washed.

This is unlikely with polyester, but if it occurs, use a color catcher sheet during washing and wash in cold water.

Texture is flattening after application.

Avoid excessive pressure during application and when washing. Ensure it's not being crushed by other items during storage.
