How is Tape Made?

In 1845, Dr. Horace Day created the first tape by combining cloth with adhesive for medical use. Later, in 1925, Richard Drew of 3M developed masking tape to aid the automotive industry with painting. Modern tape consists of a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a backing material like paper, plastic film, cloth, or metal foil, and may include additional layers and a removable release liner for specific functions. The uses and variations of tape have grown significantly since these early inventions.
