Does double-sided tape come in sheets instead of rolls as well? Let’s find out t
Does double-sided tape come in sheets? Or are there only the rolls of double-sided tape we all know, just more or less wide? Much time has passed since, more or less a century ago, the first prototype of adhesive tape was developed by an abrasive paper manufacturer.
Since then, this product has become more and more powerful and, above all, more and more varied: masking tape has been paired with adhesive tape meant for bonding, then came duct tape, then double-sided adhesive tape, and so on.
Faced with this wide range of products it is now natural to try to find the most suitable tape format each time, to make sure you pick up the one with the desired level of grip and durability.
So, in some cases, the need arises to have a larger adhesive surface available, without needing to resort to the use of loose bonding agents to be distributed manually on a wall. In these cases, the best ally is exactly the double-sided adhesive tape sheets: let’s find out what its characteristics are.

Double-sided adhesive sheets: characteristics and uses
The double-sided adhesive tape sheets can be found in both sheets of variable sizes and in very wide rolls. It is therefore a medium which offers two adhesive surfaces – with a level of adhesive power variable according to the type and material used.
To protect the adhesive parts, as is true for regular double-sided adhesive rolls, a film is present which, in such cases, is often kraft paper.
Having understood how industrial double-sided tape sheets are made, all that’s left to do is to have a look at its uses, as well as the advantages that this tool can provide.
Think of classic double-sided adhesive tape: to have greater capacity it is natural to try and use more adhesive surface, applying more and more strips of tape.
Double-sided adhesive sheets, on the other hand, already offer a large adhesive surface, similar to the one that could be obtained by applying a glue brush; thanks to the double-sided adhesive sheets, however, this operation becomes much faster and, above all, the result is perfectly homogeneous, without any sections having more or less glue, and without any creases.
It is therefore clear that this kind of tool be used in different situations, starting with securing pictures or plates, knowing, however, that the best double-sided adhesive sheets are easy to work, to shape and to die-cut, ensuring, in any case, a smooth and perfectly uniform appearance, which does not therefore compromise the final appearance of graphic supports.
Used in various industries, double-sided adhesive sheets can also be employed in screen printing, as well as in the production of membrane keypads.
Types of double-sided adhesive sheets
On our adhesive and double-sided adhesive tape e-commerce site, you’ll be able to find different types of double-sided adhesive sheets. There are, for example, actual sheets, available in various sizes: usually the classic sizes measure 61 by 91 cm (24 x 35.8 in), their size increasing in accordance with specific needs.
They can be sold either in packs of 20, 30, 50 or 100 sheets, or in rolls, the width of which will then correspond to the length of the adhesive sheet itself.
The uses of double-sided adhesive sheets are entirely mirrored in those of double-sided adhesive tapes: once the necessary area has been cut, the back liner is removed to apply the sheet to the support; at this point the front liner will also be removed, to proceed with the gluing, or with the application of the object to be glued on top of it.
