Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a system for packaging and a method of using double-faced adhesive tape. A strip of waxed or otherwise non-stick material is folded to form a pocket in which a piece of double-faced tape having a hold tab at one end thereof is inserted such that the hold tab projects from without the pocket. To apply the tape, the wrapper and projecting hold tab are positioned between two pieces of material that are intended to be taped together. A pull tab, which is connected to the wrapper, extends out from between the two pieces of material. Pressure is then applied to the material surrounding the hold tab in order to retain the hold tab in position, and the pull tab is pulled away from the hold tab and tape. As a result, the non-stick wrapper is removed from the tape, leaving the double-faced tape and the attached hold tab in position between the two materials that are being taped together.
