3M Austria

A tape that marches to a different drummer

Tired of tape strips that seem to stick everywhere but where you want them to once you have taken them off the roll? Now you can say goodbye to scissors and sticky table edges forever, thanks to a new breakthrough from 3M called Scotch Tape Strips. These self-adhering tape strips are five centimeters long and come in a new dispenser where you can easily remove them with one hand and place them exactly where you want them to go.

Scotch Tape Strips are practical and fast when it comes to wrapping presents and books, doing craft projects or decorations, and taking care of chores around the office or school. They are available in two types of attractive, ergonomically designed dispensers.

The Elegante dispenser has a stable base, making it perfect for desktop use, while the Mobile model features an elastic strap, so you can wear it on your hand for convenient removal of the strips.

Both types of dispensers are refillable and patented. 3M was awarded the "Design Plus" prize for its hand dispenser.

Ever since the young engineer Richard Drew invented the first transparent, water-proof adhesive tape in 1930, 3M has been actively shaping the history of adhesive tape. The 3M range of adhesive tapes now includes over 900 different products.
