Pros & Cons
Pros
This tape is excellent for repairing pages or bindings that have been ripped. I have a 10 month old who loves books but we have had a few book mishaps. This tape was recommended to me by a children's librarian for repairing my kids' pop-up and lift-th... Read More
It is the tape they use in libraries and while expensive,it is permanent and does not deteriorate. It means the folders last 3 time longer before needing replacement. At this point it appears to be durable.
Transparent tape is much better than regular scotch tape which deteriorates and becomes brittle. It ensures a bit more durability, and it’s glossy transparency ensures that the book looks valued.
The tape rarely peels off, but it can if an adult tries. It is much stronger and much more flexible than packing tape. The tape has a slight stretch to it which helps it conform better.
Cons
The cover 'hinge' was cracked and threatening to come apart. Also the surface of this album is not exactly smooth.
Highlights
Quality
Thank you, scotch for an excellent product.
Very pleased with its performance all around.
If this would have been a lost treasure and wanted it to look good, i would have had to find another product.
I am not sure of the acidity or archival quality of this product, but for my purposes, those qualities are not yet a concern.
Shipping
I use a thinner tape (standard shipping tape) at home for fixings books which does good for less heavy home use.
Packaging/appearance
I find this tape better than using say, packaging tape, which is thinner and often lower quality, plus not designed to repair books.
Competitiveness
Fingerprints don't appear as much as some other brands.
