Transfer tape is a type of adhesive film used to transfer designs or graphics from one surface to another. It is commonly used in crafting, sign-making, and vinyl applications. The tape holds the design in place, allowing for precise placement without damaging the material. When applying transfer tape, the adhesive side sticks to the design, while the backing protects the adhesive until it's ready to be used. Once positioned, the tape is pressed down, and the backing is removed, leaving the design on the desired surface. This makes it easier to apply intricate designs accurately.
