3M™ Transfer Tapes

Transfer tapes, are double-sided tapes, which are a popular choice for printing and signage professionals due to their versatility and performance. This type of tape is made up of a backing material and an adhesive, which allows it to be applied to a variety of surfaces. In addition, adhesive transfer tapes can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Transfer tape is applied using a process called lamination. This involves bonding two or more layers together using pressure and heat. The adhesive transfer tape is placed between the substrate and the topcoat, and then the entire assembly is passed through a set of rollers. This process allows the adhesive to bond with both surfaces, creating a strong bond that can withstand a variety of conditions.

ATG Transfer Tapes are a type of a double sided tape designed for use in ATG tape gun dispensers, to save time and make application easier. ATG stands for ‘Adhesive Transfer Gun’, as adhesive transfer tapes are reverse wound (where the backing liner is on the underside of the tape as it is unwound) they have to be used with the ATG dispenser gun. Adhesive transfer tapes are wound on to plastic reels instead of standard cardboard reels and can simply be slotted into an ATG tape gun to apply lengths as needed to your material.

ATG tapes are used for poster and display work, photo mounting, exhibition and POP displays, mock-ups, all display uses, presentation folders and even craft work and scrapbooking.
