Everyone has been talking about it, but not everyone knows how the tape revolution started. It all began in 1923 when Kamoi Kakoshi started making tapes that specialized in industrial works which were used in cars and furniture. Once, they met with a request from 3 women in Tokyo to make tapes of different colors. The company certainly approved it and now we have the amazing creative masking tape that we keep using all the time.
What makes them so popular?
Well, other than the fact that these tapes come in thousands of different patterns and colors, they are water-proof as well as heat-proof up to an extent. This makes it easier to stick on bathroom walls and also on kitchen tiles and drawers. Another amazing thing about this tape is that it is very easy to use. One can peel it off by hand and stick it somewhere else because the adhesive doesn't easily wear off. It can be used on any surface, be it wood, metal, glass, tiles or plastic.
