Adhesive TapeAdhesive tape is an adhesive-coated fastening tape used for temporary or, in some cases, permanent joining. Single-sided tapes allow joining of two overlapping or adjoining materials, while double-sided tape (adhesive on both sides) allows joining of two items back-to-back. These tapes are made by applying an adhesive emulsion to a tape or film that is then wound onto a roll. Manufacture often involves winding large films of material onto a roll and then cutting the roll into convenient widths. Adhesive tape was first born in the 1920's by Richard Drew of the 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) Company. The original tape was a paper-backed masking tape. Transparent and other tapes grew from this inventiion. Alternate names or varieties *
