→ Reliable Cost Effective Double Sided Tape from Mumbai
Not every bonding job needs a high performance acrylic engineered for low surface energy plastics at 150 C. A great deal of everyday industrial work including mounting, splicing, laminating, packaging, bundling, POS assembly and stationery converting needs a dependable double sided tape at a sensible price, delivered in the right width, in quantity and on time.
That is what this range is for. Print Impex supplies general purpose double sided tapes on tissue, polyester, foam and PVC carriers, slit to any width from stock, with the same quality control and technical support we apply to our speciality range.
→ Tissue Double Sided Tape
The most widely used general purpose construction. A thin non woven tissue carrier is saturated with adhesive on both faces. The tissue lets the tape be torn by hand without scissors, conforms to surfaces that are not perfectly flat and gives the adhesive layers something to key into so the bond has internal strength.
Typical uses include mounting nameplates and light signage, laminating foam and fabric, splicing paper and film webs, bookbinding and stationery converting, carpet and mat fixing, photo and display mounting and general assembly.
Available in solvent based and hot melt adhesive systems. Solvent acrylic gives better heat and ageing resistance, while hot melt rubber gives higher initial tack at lower cost.
→ PET Polyester Double Sided Tape
A polyester film carrier gives dimensional stability, high tensile strength and clean die cutting with no fibre pick. Because PET film is thin, the total bond line stays low, which is useful where thickness affects fit or appearance.
Typical uses include die cut gaskets and washers, nameplate and label attachment, electronics assembly, splicing, precision mounting and applications where parts must be cut to a tight tolerance.
→ Foam Double Sided Tape
A polyethylene or acrylic foam carrier compresses to fill gaps. Where two surfaces are uneven, textured, curved or simply not parallel, foam thickness makes contact possible across the whole joint. Foam also absorbs vibration and dampens rattle and noise.
Typical uses include mounting signage and letters, fixing mirrors and glass, attaching automotive trim and badges, sealing and gasketing, mounting panels to uneven walls and cushioning.
Available in white, black and grey, in thicknesses from around 0.8 mm to 3 mm and above.
→ PVC Double Sided Tape
A PVC film carrier with high initial tack and excellent conformability. It bonds well to painted metal, plastics and coated surfaces and follows curves without lifting.
Typical uses include automotive interior trim, sign making, appliance assembly, panel mounting and general industrial fixing.
→ Adhesive Systems
-
Rubber and Hot Melt
Very high initial tack and grabs immediately. Good for porous surfaces such as paper, board and fabric. Lower heat resistance and less resistance to ageing and plasticisers. The economical choice for indoor short to medium life applications. -
Solvent Acrylic
Builds strength over time and resists heat, UV and ageing far better. It stays clear rather than yellowing. Typically reaches around 50 percent of ultimate strength within 20 minutes, 90 percent within 24 hours and full strength in 72 hours. The right choice where the bond has to last. -
Modified Acrylic and High Performance
For elevated temperature, outdoor exposure and demanding substrates. If you are bonding polypropylene, polyethylene, TPO or powder coatings, you need a dedicated low surface energy grade from our Special Tapes and Adhesives range rather than a general purpose tape.
→ Sizes and Converting
-
Widths
Slit to any width from narrow tapes for edge splicing up to full master roll width. -
Lengths
Standard 33 m and 50 m rolls, with longer lengths available on request. -
Sheets
Cut to your panel size. -
Die Cut Parts
Supplied to your DXF or dimensioned drawing. -
Cores
Standard 3 inch cores, with alternatives available.
Buying pre slit to your exact width eliminates the waste and labour of cutting master rolls in house and gives cleaner edges than any hand cut roll.
→ How to Choose
-
Start with the Two Substrates
Smooth, high surface energy materials such as glass, steel, aluminium, ABS, polycarbonate and painted metal bond readily with general purpose tapes. Low surface energy plastics do not, and no amount of pressure will change that. -
Match Thickness to the Gap
If the surfaces are flat and rigid, a thin tissue or PET tape gives the strongest and most invisible bond. If there is any gap, texture or curvature, use foam. -
Set the Service Temperature Honestly
A tape rated for 60 C indoors will creep and slide in a delivery van parked in Mumbai summer sun.
-
Decide Whether Removal Matters
If the part will need rework or the substrate must be recovered, specify a removable or differential grade at the outset. Removing a permanent tape from a painted surface usually damages the paint. -
Apply Properly
Clean the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, apply firm even pressure across the whole bond area and allow dwell time before loading the joint. Most double sided tape failures are application failures, not product failures.

→ Frequently Asked Questions
Tissue tape is hand tearable and conformable. PET tape is stronger, dimensionally stable and die cuts cleanly without fibre pick. Choose tissue for general mounting and PET for precision parts.
For general purpose work, foam tapes give high peel strength on uneven surfaces and PET tapes give high shear strength on flat surfaces. For structural bonding, move to 3M VHB tape.
Yes. We slit double sided tape to any width you specify.
It will hold, but removal will usually take the paint with it. For wall mounting, use a foam tape with a removable liner system and test on a hidden area first.
Yes. We supply both jumbo or master rolls and finished slit rolls.
