Nominal Tape Widths vs Actual Widths

Nominal vs. Actual Widths

Tape rolls are cut to standard tape industry metric widths of approx. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered. As a result ACTUAL tape widths are normally 5% narrower than the NOMINAL width shown in inches. Examples:

1" Nominal width = 15/16" (24mm) Actual width
2" Nominal width = 1-7/8" (48mm) Actual width
3" Nominal width = 2-13/16" (72mm) Actual width

Note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free.

Custom Tape Widths
May be Available!

Need custom sized or "full-cut" width tapes? Many of our tapes come to our converter as full wide width "log rolls" (not pre-cut), and can be custom cut to widths not shown in the pricing table.
Contact us today for pricing and minimum requirements to order your desired tape in a custom width.
Please note that since this tape comes in "log roll" format most rolls ship on a plain white core (i.e. with no branding or text inside the core).

Special Order Policies & Footnotes:

Special Order Policies

Special orders are non-returnable (and non-cancelable if materials have been already ordered or cut before the cancellation request was received).
Special order sizes often ship direct from our supplier so will not arrive together with stocked products.

Special Order Minimums

Minimum requirements apply because a size may be non-stock or if special setup is required to cut rolls to your desired custom width.
Minimum Quantities: If a particular size has a minimum item requirement, please only order that size in multiples of that minimum (e.g. if the minimum is 12, then use multiples like 12, 24, 36, etc).

Question & Answers

[ viewing questions 1 through 1 of 1 total ]

Lois McDonald May 16, 2020

QUESTION: can I use this tape for the top of my deck handrails?

ANSWER: Polyken 223 is a standard polyethylene-coated duct tape so does have a waterproof backing, but if the adhesive underside of the tape gets wet the tape typically comes away over time. The tape we sell more often for deck handrails would be the HGT Handrail Grip Tape (see https://www.findtape.com/p1071/). That product is coated with an acrylic adhesive that offers better UV and moisture resistance. Thank you.
