About this series

This series is the transfer step of every cut-vinyl job: application tapes that lift weeded lettering and logos off the release liner, hold the layout together, and lay it onto the substrate in register.

Three tapes cover the working styles. CAT is the clear PVC application tape — see-through for exact positioning, medium-tack and cleanly removable, the everyday choice for lettering and logo transfer. MHT is the high-tack version for stubborn jobs: small text, fine detail and films whose liners hold on harder. MPP is the paper application tape — matte, hand-tearable and squeegee-friendly, preferred by shops that like the paper feel and flat lay-down on large text.

Slit widths from 5 cm to 61 cm mean the tape matches the graphic instead of the other way around.

Key features

  • Clear PVC tape (CAT): position by eye through the tape, then peel clean — no adhesive ghosting on the finished job.
  • High-tack MHT lifts fine text and stubborn films that a medium-tack tape would leave behind.
  • Paper tape MPP: matte, tearable and flat-laying for shops that work paper-style.
  • Medium-tack, clean-removable adhesives across the family — hold hard enough to transfer, release without lifting the vinyl.
  • Seven slit widths from 5 cm to 61 cm to match lettering strips and full-sheet graphics alike.

Technical notes

  • Formats: slit widths 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 / 45 / 61 cm; film tapes typically 100 m rolls, paper 50 m.
  • CAT: clear PVC transfer film, medium-tack, clean removable.
  • MHT: high-tack application tape for fine detail and stubborn liners.
  • MPP: paper application mask, matte and hand-tearable.
  • Match tack to the job: medium for general lettering, high for small text and reluctant films.
  • Squeegee the tape onto the weeded graphic firmly before lifting, and peel back at 180° when removing.

Common questions

Clear film or paper tape — which should I use?

Clear film (CAT) when you need to see the layout for exact positioning, and for wet application. Paper (MPP) tears by hand, lies flat on long text runs and takes water out of the equation. Many shops stock both and pick per job.

When do I need the high-tack MHT?

When the graphic will not leave the liner: small text, fine detail, and films with tighter liner grip. High tack lifts what medium tack leaves behind — just squeegee well and remove with a low, steady peel on delicate substrates.

Will the tape leave adhesive on the vinyl?

No — the adhesives are formulated for clean removal. Transfer, squeegee down, then peel the tape back at a sharp angle and the vinyl and substrate stay clean.

Which width should I stock?

Match your typical graphic: 5–20 cm for lettering strips and stripes, 30–61 cm for logos and sheet-scale layouts. Buying the right width wastes less tape than trimming a wide roll.
