Pro Tapes - Framer's Tape

Framer's Tape

Mount and mat artwork with archival-safe strength you can tear by hand

Heavy frame assemblies demand tape that won't fail under stress. Pro Tapes Framer's Tape combines cloth backing with aggressive adhesion, handling the torque and weight of substantial frames without peeling or shifting. The pH-neutral formulation protects archival materials from acid migration, mount prints, attach mats, or secure backing boards knowing the tape won't compromise paper or canvas over decades.

Cloth construction tears cleanly by hand in one direction, eliminating the fumbling with scissors or knives when you're mid-assembly with frames propped against your workbench. The adhesive bonds immediately to mat board, wood, and metal without requiring pressure or curing time. Unlike standard duct tape that yellows and degrades, this formulation maintains its integrity and won't stain surrounding materials or leave residue when repositioning during initial placement.

Professional framers rely on this tape for heavy-duty applications where both strength and archival safety matter. The cloth backing flexes slightly with seasonal humidity changes rather than cracking, while remaining compatible with alkaline conservation materials. Stock this for serious framing work that needs to last.
