Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does this fit a small handheld dispenser? No, this 50m roll has a larger core designed for heavy desk dispensers; for small handheld units, a 20m or 33m roll is required.
  • Will it turn yellow on my documents? No, Sellotape is specially formulated to resist UV light, ensuring it stays clear and doesn't leave brown stains on your paper over time.
  • Is it easy to peel? Yes, it is designed for a smooth, silent unwind, making it easier to manage during large wrapping or packing tasks.

Quick Stationery Hack: The "Invisible" Label

  • To create a smudge-proof label, write your text on a piece of paper using a standard pen, then cover it completely with a strip of Sellotape Clear Tape. This "laminates" the label, protecting the ink from moisture, fingerprints, and wear — perfect for school lunchboxes or office files.

Usage Instructions
  • Ensure the surface to be taped is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease to promote optimal adhesion.
  • Unroll a sufficient length of Sellotape Clear tape from the dispenser, carefully considering the amount required for the task.
  • Position the tape over the area requiring adhesion, applying gentle pressure to initiate contact with the surface.
  • Smooth the tape down firmly with a finger or a suitable tool, working from the centre outwards to eliminate air bubbles and ensure complete contact.
  • For securing items, wrap the tape around the objects, ensuring a slight overlap for a strong and lasting hold.
  • To seal envelopes or packages, align the tape along the flap or seam, pressing down firmly to create a secure closure.
  • When joining two surfaces, apply the tape evenly across the join, ensuring both edges are fully covered and adhered.
  • To cut the tape, use the serrated edge of the Sellotape dispenser or a pair of sharp scissors, ensuring a clean and straight cut.
  • After use, store the Sellotape Clear tape in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve its adhesive qualities.
  • For optimal performance, avoid touching the adhesive side of the tape with fingers, as oils can reduce its stickiness.
Warnings

  • Keep the Sellotape Clear tape 50m out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent accidental ingestion or entanglement hazards. The tape could pose a choking risk if swallowed, or cause injury if wrapped around fingers or limbs.

  • Avoid applying the Sellotape Clear tape 50m to delicate skin, open wounds, or areas with existing skin conditions. The adhesive may cause irritation, redness, or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, or exacerbate pre-existing dermatological issues.

  • Do not use the Sellotape Clear tape 50m for electrical insulation or in applications where high temperatures or significant electrical currents are present. The tape is not designed to withstand such conditions and could melt, ignite, or fail to provide adequate insulation, leading to electrical hazards.

  • Store the Sellotape Clear tape 50m in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to heat or sunlight can degrade the adhesive, causing the tape to lose its tackiness, become brittle, or discolour, impairing its performance.

  • Exercise caution when using the Sellotape Clear tape 50m on surfaces with delicate finishes, antique items, or materials that may be susceptible to adhesive transfer or damage upon removal. Test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure no residue or damage occurs.

  • Dispose of used or unwanted Sellotape Clear tape 50m responsibly in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. The tape is not biodegradable and improper disposal could contribute to environmental pollution.

  • Do not ingest the Sellotape Clear tape 50m. The tape is not food-grade and consumption could lead to gastrointestinal discomfort or obstruction.
