AdTech 5603 Permanent Crafter's Tape, 0.31" x 315", Pack of 4

These are great. I have used a few types of these glue runner products, including some of the big name brands. Most of those are simply ok. They usually don’t have as good adhesion as I would like, which is why I’ve used different brands. It takes a lot of the glue product to be just adequate. I have found my new favorite/go to brand. These don’t require a ton of glue. The glue is very good and applies slightly more than other brands because it is a wider applicator. It applies easily and you get a lot for your money. My one con is that when you stop gluing it can bunch up or clump. I was gluing stuff that would have looked bad with the glue clumping/bunching (I’m picky about that kind of stuff) and since I had not had this problem with other types of runners I was disappointed. With practice you can minimize this, but it still did it a little it seemed, even with a great stop. Then I figured out a way to make that no longer a problem. If you put a piece a scratch paper under whatever you are working on, just continue your run past the edge slightly (like I used to do in kindergarten with glue sticks lol). It will bunch up on the scrap paper and not your project, and will be even the whole run. Perfect gluing. I was going to rate these a 4 until I figured out that gluing trick. These are great overall and a super value compared to others. They have greater adhesion and are the best I have used to date. The cases seem slightly less sturdy than some brands because they unclip a little sometimes on me while using, but that doesn’t really bother me much, and they have never come completely open or anything. I am so glad I found these and will use them a lot in the future for various projects.

I thought I would try out the AdTech permanent tape runner after not getting consistent operations with the Tombo tape runners. I was having problems with the Tombo tape runner not laying down consistent solid tape lines on my paper crafting projects. The AdTech consistently starts and ends where I lay down a tape line. Adhesion is very good.

I buy these over and over for years. Really stick!

I read some "best-of" articles on tape runners and Adtech looked pretty good. I find the adhesion to be terrific for my crafting but the tape can stick to the roller a bit when first starting. I'm halfway through my second runner already so the only downside I've found so far is that I use it up too fast. (They could be a little bigger and still fit in your hand easily; that extra size would give quite a lot more tape.) As with any tape runner the start and stop points for taping your project are a little iffy to determine, but for general use and whipping through the application of double stick tape these are great. Each runner has a removable cap to keep it from sticking to everything when not is use. Having refills available to buy will save me some money down the road but this multi-pack was a good way for me to get started with this brand; I have plenty to keep in different places and will definitely lose some.

I was searching for the AdTech Tape runner refills, but accidentally ordered the whole runner + insert. I love the AdTech tape runners, easy application, rarely get tangled up like some glue runners. Refills have been available in the past, tho I am not finding them currently.

I, like others here, thought halfway through the first roll that I got a bum product, tossed it and moved on to the second roll in the pack only to find that, again, halfway through, the roll stops going on evenly or at all and you have to press hard to get it to work and the paper bunches up inside the cartridge. Well, I opened it up to see what the issue could be and figured out how to make it work like new again. First, pop it open and take out the cartridge. You may notice that the back roll is full of paper that goes beyond the confines of the plastic lip. (Sorry I don't have a picture of it before I fixed it.) It's literally overflowing. This is your used paper. Pop the spool out from the back by pressing gently from behind. Tear this paper and set the rest of the cartridge aside. You're going to remove all this dead paper and throw it away. Once it's empty take a look and feel around the back of the spool, the side with the hole blocked off. Is it all sticky? Use some alcohol on a qtip to remove this built up adhesive. Then, use your qtip to also clean the gunk from around the area where this spool contacts the cartridge. This is what's bogging down your tape! Once it's all clean, time for the kinda tricky part. Look on the tape and figure out where the adhesive starts again. Roll the tape forward a little past the rubber tip and then make a line on some paper. The result you're looking for is about a centimeter of glue and then a gap of like 2 inches. It's tricky the first time, sorry. Use this to reattach the tape to the clean back spool. Roll it up tightly til the paper is all wound up. Now, you can pop the spool back into the cartridge and the pop the cartridge back into the case. You should find it to be as good as new again. Good luck with it! Awesome product with a great price. Don't let the reviews of uncreative quitters fool you.

I love this product. This was my 2nd purchase. It is super sticky and easy to use. I use it when wrapping presents. A minimal amount is needed. No more messing with a tape dispenser. The caps are great for storage and there is no product waste.

This stuff is great! I'm not a "crafter," per se, but I did want to adhere engagement photos, cards, and RSVPs into a scrapbook for us. This stuff worked great. It does clump up a tiny bit, but nothing too terribly bad. If you put the tape on something and drop that something in the wrong place, beware! This stuff is sticky and isn't very forgiving when it comes to needing to move something around. I was taping RSVP cards and drop one with the tape on the back of it. In removing it, it peeled up the scrapbook parchment. They're not kidding around when they say "permanent." There is one important thing to note for us "non crafters." I could not tell when the canister was empty. All of a sudden there wasn't any tape coming out; it was just slick. I had not paid attention to which side the tape had been initially. I am posting a photo of what the canisters look like full versus empty. Look at the larger wheel to know when you're out of tape. Hopefully this will help others. Great product! I just ordered two ore boxes of 4, as I have a lot of taping up to do! :-)

Muy práctico, pega bien y no ensucia los dedos ni el proyecto en el que estás trabajando

This scrapbook glue runner works so well! It’s super easy to use and glides smoothly without any mess. What I love most is how much you actually get in each package—it lasts way longer than others I’ve tried. It also holds really well, keeping all my photos and paper pieces secure. Definitely a great find for any crafter or scrapbooker!

So easy to use

This works as well as other more expensive brands I have purchased from the local craft store.

I make cards , and envelopes . The tape is easy to use , no mess ,and it sticks well. I just wish they sell refills , because I go through a lot of the tapes ,and I find that it could run expensive. But th product is great!!
