Archival Heavy-Duty Tape 555

Patco 555 is a heavy-duty acid-free overlaminating tape designed for books, magazines, documents, graphics, signs and placards. It conforms around book spines for permanent protection and is coated with a special non-yellowing adhesive. The tape also functions as surface protection against moisture, UV, solvents and abrasion. Suitable for libraries, archives and signage professionals.

60 ft Roll with UV Stability

The roll provides 60 feet of clear film tape measuring 144 mm in width for broad coverage. Excellent clarity resists yellowing and discoloration over time thanks to UV-stable construction. It performs well across a wide temperature range and maintains high adhesion for long periods. Tough, abrasion-resistant film handles frequent handling without edge bleed.

Conformable Film for Spine Protection

The conformable film wraps securely around curved spines and flat surfaces without lifting. Acid-free adhesive prevents document degradation while delivering invisible, super-clear protection. No special tools or heat are required for application. Not suited for buyers who need a coloured or opaque tape for labelling purposes.

Questions about this item

Will the 144 mm wide tape cover the full spine of a large hardback I already own?

At 144 mm wide the roll spans most standard large-format spines in a single pass.

How can I verify the 555 tape is holding securely after I apply it?

Press firmly along the length; the high-adhesion acrylic bonds permanently and the clear film stays transparent with no edge bleed.

Does the box include a dispenser or cutter for the 60 ft roll?

The roll ships as tape only; a separate desktop dispenser or hand cutter is needed for clean cuts.
