Alvin - Drafting Dots

Drafting Dots

Secure drawings without tape residue using repositionable adhesive dots

It either holds too aggressively and tears your surface, or releases too easily and lets your drawing shift mid-stroke. Alvin Drafting Dots solve this with calibrated low-tack adhesive that maintains secure hold without surface damage. Each 7/8" diameter dot keeps vellum, tracing paper, and blueprints exactly where you place them while lifting cleanly when you need to adjust alignment or remove finished work.

The pull-tab dispenser eliminates the frustration of wrestling with tape rolls or searching for scissors. Pre-cut dots dispense individually, letting you work with one hand while positioning paper with the other. This matters during layout sessions when you're making multiple adjustments to get registration perfect. The adhesive won't curl delicate materials or leave residue on drafting boards, maintaining clean surfaces through repeated use.

Five hundred dots per box provides substantial coverage for ongoing projects. Architects use them for securing overlay sheets during design development. Technical illustrators rely on them for holding reference materials in view without obscuring work areas. Students appreciate the clean removal that preserves presentation boards. The dots work equally well for mounting samples, organizing layouts, and temporary labeling throughout studios and offices where precision positioning matters.
