Book repair tape 15 yards

This clear tape is made for repairing and reinforcing book spines, magazine edges and bound surfaces. It suits libraries, archives and anyone maintaining paper collections that see frequent handling. The adhesive stays flexible and will not dry out or crack over time. Permanent inks write cleanly on the surface for labelling.

Capacity and headroom

A single roll gives 15 yards of coverage, enough for multiple repair sessions on standard volumes. The conformable film follows curved spines and worn corners without lifting. It runs out when the roll is exhausted and there is no built-in indicator of remaining length. Heavy-duty binding jobs may consume a roll faster than light edge reinforcement.

Build fit

The tape mounts on a 3 inch core, so it fits common desktop dispensers used in conservation work. No special tools or heat are required for application. It frees up shelf space by extending the life of existing volumes instead of requiring replacements. The clear finish keeps original cover art and text visible after repair.

Questions about this item

Will the 3" core on this 8452 tape fit the desktop dispenser I already use?

The roll is wound on a standard 3" core, which matches most heavy-duty desktop dispensers designed for wider tape rolls.

How can I check the tape is adhering properly after I apply it to a book edge?

Press firmly along the repaired edge; the conformable adhesive should bond without bubbles and the clear film stays transparent so you can see the contact.

Does the box include a cutter or dispenser, or is it just the roll?

Only the 15-yard roll of clear 845-2 tape on a 3" core is supplied; a compatible dispenser or cutter must be purchased separately.
