Sellotape at Home

I hate the ugly holes left by nails and picture hooks. Are they avoidable?

Avoid having these unsightly holes in your walls completely by using Sellotape Sticky Fixers®, double sided foam pads or Sticky Fixer Strip, a double sided foam strip. These are both suitable for permanent mounting on a variety of surfaces and provide a simple alternative to screws, nails and glue. Please note: When using any of the Sticky Fixer range, please refer to pack instructions before use.

I can't fix any permanent hooks to the walls of my rented flat. How can I put up any pictures?

For temporary mounting, use Removable Sticky Fixers®, easily removable leaving no sticky residue and ideal for mounting hooks and pictures since they can bear weight of up to I kg per strip. Please note: When using any of the Sticky Fixer range, please refer to pack instructions before use.

How can I avoid the hazard of tripping over loose cables in the home?

Use Sellotape® Hook & Loop Cable ties to tidy phone, TV and video cables.

Have you got a quick tip for finding the end of sticky tape?

If you use Sellotape® Original, Europe's No.1 cellulose tape, it is slightly thicker than many other clear tapes so that on running one finger around the roll, the end is easy to find. The alternative is to buy a refillable dispenser. Sellotape features a wide range of dispensers suitable for use in both home and office in all sizes and are available at very reasonable prices

I hate the ugly look of tape on my presents. How can I make it more attractive?

How can I remove irritating animal hairs from my clothes?

The strong adhesive on Sellotape® Original means that they are excellent for removing fluff and hairs from clothing without leaving a sticky residue.

Sellotape at Work or School

Is there a subtle alternative to ordinary sticky tape for mending important documents?

Yes! Sellotape® Invisible is a permanent tape which can be written on and also doesn't show when photocopied. This tape is ideal for document mending since it doesn't crack with age and is virtually invisible in use. Sellotape® Invisible comes with a convenient refillable dispenser.

How can I stop messy gluing from totally ruining the look of my project?

For an alternative to glue, try using Sellotape® Double-Sided to mount and present important work. It has an easy to remove backing strip to avoid sticky fingers and is available with a refillable dispenser for clean application.

Is there a faster way to parcel customer goods for my home business? (The industrial packaging machines available are too expensive)
