Screen Printing Application Tape

Our Application Tape range is designed to support accurate, efficient and professional installation of self-adhesive vinyl graphics across the signmaking and print industries

Often referred to as transfer tape or premask, application tape allows cut vinyl and printed graphics to be lifted cleanly from their backing liner and positioned precisely onto the final surface. Used correctly, application tape protects the integrity of lettering, logos and detailed designs during handling and installation. Whether working with small text, complex graphics or large panels, our tapes help ensure clean transfers, consistent alignment and a high-quality finished result. Available in a selection of paper and clear film options, with varying adhesive strengths, our Application Tapes are suitable for a wide range of vinyl types, print finishes and installation methods.

Application Tape Solutions for the Signmaking Industry

For signmakers, precision and consistency are key. Application Tape enables vinyl graphics to be transferred in one controlled movement, keeping spacing, alignment and layout intact. This is particularly important when working with individual letters, logos and intricate designs for shop fronts, windows, wall graphics and signage panels.

With different tack levels available, signmakers can choose a tape that matches the vinyl type and surface conditions, helping reduce lifting issues, stretching or misalignment during installation.

Benefits for Digital Print & Wide-Format Production

In digital print environments, application tape plays an important role once graphics have been printed and cut. Using a reliable tape helps stabilise printed vinyl during handling and installation, especially on larger formats or layered designs where accurate positioning is essential. Clear application tapes are particularly useful where visibility is required for precise placement, allowing installers to align graphics confidently while maintaining consistent pressure and control.

Supporting Screen Print & Hybrid Workflows

For screen print and hybrid production setups, application tape helps protect finished graphics during transfer and positioning stages. By reducing direct contact with the adhesive surface, it minimises the risk of contamination or damage prior to installation or further finishing processes such as lamination.

This makes application tape a valuable addition to workflows that combine digital, screen and finishing techniques.
