WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF JTAPE?

Although the practise of using soft edge masking is not new to our industry, it has evolved from the straightforward yet effective folding over of the tape's edge, to the foams and T-shaped tapes that are currently in use.

Based in Louisiana, US, Acadiana Paint & Supply have been providing automotive and industrial paint products and related supplies to their customers since 1996.

As part of JTAPE’s continued support of the local community, we are delighted to be able to sponsor the ADHD Foundation’s National Umbrella Project at Macclesfield Academy.  The Umbrella Project helps encourage students at the Academy talk about their own issues and also raises awareness of neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Dyscalculia throughout the community.

It's time to make your packaging stand out and promote your business as we get ready for the busy holiday season.  It is expected that more than 750 million packages will be shipped worldwide, so what better way to stand out from the crowd than with Custom Printed Packaging Tape from JTAPE.

Similar to traditional gaffer tape and duct tape, cloth tape is a heavy-duty protective tape with a laminated or poly-coated cloth backing.  Cloth tape has a wide variety of uses across protection, maintenance, and emergency repair work, and is a useful part of any tool kit.

If you ask almost anyone who paints vehicles for a living what they like most about their work, they’ll tell you that it’s the satisfaction they can take from achieving a perfect finish and delivering a beautiful job for their customers.  When you ask them what makes the difference between good and great, it all comes down to precision.  The ability to create sharply defined edges, and meticulous clean lines.  Whether the aim is a full respray intended to make an older vehicle as good as new, or a custom paint job, using the right equipment means everything.  Precision masking tape helps achieve a great result because it protects the underlying surface and adheres closely meaning that there’s no bleeding.

The art of paintwork when customising cars, trucks and bikes often involves working with filigree curved lines, elaborate designs, and intricate patterns.  Creating these complex designs requires a high level of skill, and the right equipment, from precise brush and spray painting to carefully placed masking to protect surrounding areas.  Customising tape – a type of masking that allows for specific areas to be protected – is a key part of the tool kit for a specialist customiser, and allows them to get the most out of their art.

You don’t have far to look back in time to see an era when every TV show or movie featured a custom car that was a big part of the attraction.

Masking tape is designed and manufactured to do one job well: Stopping paint from going where it shouldn’t go.
