Easy-tear tape: Revolutionizing the Way We Use Tape

Convenient and Energy-Saving Adhesive Tape

Easy-tear tape, designed by Lu Yi, is a game-changer in the world of adhesive tapes. Inspired by the convenience of opening envelopes with trim perforated lines, Lu Yi sought to create a tape that could be easily torn off without the need for scissors or other tools. With its unique properties and innovative design, Easy-tear tape is set to revolutionize the way we use tape in our daily lives.

Traditional tape can be a hassle to use, requiring additional tools to cut it and often making it difficult to find the start of the tape. Easy-tear tape solves these problems by incorporating a perforated line at regular intervals. This design allows the tape to be torn off neatly without the need for scissors, making it incredibly convenient for everyday use. The rational distance between each perforated line ensures that the tape maintains its adhesive ability, providing a reliable and efficient solution.

One of the standout features of Easy-tear tape is the narrow part without gumminess behind each perforated line. This design element ensures that the tape does not stick to the reel and does not affect its normal use. It also makes it easy for users to find the start of the tape, eliminating the frustration of searching for the beginning of the roll. With Easy-tear tape, using tape becomes a seamless and hassle-free experience.

Made from BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene), Easy-tear tape is a high-quality product that meets the technical specifications required for various applications. With a width of 45mm and a length of 50000mm, it offers ample tape for a wide range of tasks. The tape is designed to be easily snipped at the perforated line, providing a user-friendly experience.

The Easy-tear tape project was a collaborative effort by a team of talented individuals, including Cao Weizhi, Sun Yuchen, Kang Yixin, and Lu Yi. The project started in February 2017 in Shenyang and was completed in March 2017. Throughout the design process, the team faced challenges in ensuring the tape's strong adhesion while maintaining its convenience and usability. Their dedication and innovative thinking resulted in the creation of Easy-tear tape.

Recognized for its excellence, Easy-tear tape was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2017 in the category of Sustainable Products, Projects, and Green Design. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Easy-tear tape stands out for its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings while contributing to a better world.

With its convenience, energy-saving properties, and innovative design, Easy-tear tape is set to revolutionize the way we use tape. Say goodbye to the frustrations of searching for scissors or struggling to find the start of the tape. Easy-tear tape makes tape usage a breeze, enhancing efficiency and convenience in our daily lives.
