Paper tape is a type of adhesive tape made from paper, often used for various crafting and household tasks. It is lightweight, easy to tear, and can be written on, making it ideal for labeling or decorating. This tape typically comes in rolls and is available in different widths and colors. Unlike plastic tapes, paper tape is often more environmentally friendly and can be recycled. It adheres well to surfaces but can be removed easily without leaving a sticky residue, making it a popular choice for temporary applications.
