If you were to ask me what my favourite sticky tape is, I'd have to say that it is Scotch Magic tape. Now let me tell you why. Unlike your standard shiney sellotape, Scotch Magic tape is a dull matt tape that seems a creamy white colour while it's on the roll, but when you peel it off and sticky it on something it magically (hey I suppose that's where it got its name from!) becomes transparent. Though I must say that it doesn't become totally see through, but it's almost magic! One of the best features of the tape is that if you are wrapping a present and accidentally stick it somewhere and want to move it, unlike normal sellotape, you can! It lifts ...  Read the complete review

You may be forgiven for thinking that there really is no need for a review of a sticky tape, it's a relatively cheap item which most people will have in their homes and, if not there, then in their offices. However, there are some important differences with this tape that might just make you go and look out for it when you are next in need of a roll of the sticky stuff. What makes Scotch Magic Tape different from most other tapes is, well, almost everything. For a start it's a matt tape, not shiney and it blends into the background very well. It claims to be invisible, a claim that I would dispute, but, on all but the shiniest of wrapping papers ...  Read the complete review

Scotch Magic tape claims to be invisible. It does come very close, but if you look closely you can still see it. But the claim I have always associated with Scotch Magic invisible tape is the magic part and as far as I am concerned - this product really does live up to his name. I can still very clearly remember the first time I saw Scotch Magic tape. I had just turned 5 and was over the moon to have just been given my very own library card. I was always very careful with books, but I had this wonderful story about a donkey and as I was reading it, I must have been too hasty turning the pages and heard the horrible sound of the page ripping. It sounded like a ...  Read the complete review

My childhood experience of sticky tape could be positioned as a sad tale of suffering and deprivation. I'm not suggesting it was like 'Angela's Ashes' where we picked up coal scraps and drank tea out of jam jars but it's fair to say that I didn't ever experience the joy of real full-price fancy branded sticky tape until long after I left home. I got through my pre-teen and teen years thinking that all sticky tape was a rather orangey colour and stolen from the Post Office (my grandmother was the village post lady) or was coiled in a strange off-centre angle because my mother always bought the cheap rejected rolls from the local market. I hadn't seen a proper straight, ..  Read the complete review

When it comes to cellotape or any tape in fact I never seem to find the right one when I need it however I am very happy when I find my Scotch Magic Tape. I first discovered this product when I worked in a mailing centre and I would see packages sealed and yet there was no evidence they had anything securing the letter or parcel and I became aware of this magic tape which is meant to be invisible. I then went and brought some and since never looked back. I love creating my own cards for birthdays and Christmas because it is cheaper but a fun hobby to do and I use this tape to help me seal up some of the minor faults I have made or perhaps to make ...  Read the complete review
