Archival tape is a specialized adhesive tape designed for preserving documents and artifacts. It is made from materials that are acid-free and non-toxic, ensuring that it does not damage the items it is used on over time. This type of tape is commonly used in libraries, museums, and archives to repair or reinforce fragile materials without compromising their integrity. Unlike regular tape, archival tape is designed to be reversible, meaning it can be removed without leaving residue or causing harm. It is often used in conjunction with other preservation methods, such as acid-free paper and archival boxes, to ensure the longevity of important items.
