Paper Masking Tape Swede 12 mm x 15 m — painter's masking tape, hand tearable

Swede paper masking tape 12 mm x 15 m is a hand-tearable painter's tape designed for surface masking, edging and protection during painting and finishing jobs. Made from crepe paper with an adhesive backing formulated for clean removal, this narrow tape helps create sharp paint lines and protects adjacent surfaces. Its hand-tearable construction allows quick application without tools, making it suitable for both DIY and professional painting tasks on walls, trim, glass and other delicate surfaces.

Advantages

The tape combines easy hand-tearability with consistent adhesion on a variety of surfaces, offering controlled stickiness that secures the tape during painting yet peels off cleanly without leaving residue when removed within the recommended time. Its narrow 12 mm width enables precise edging in tight areas and along trim. Lightweight paper construction conforms to irregular profiles and can be layered for wider coverage.

Suitable for

• Masking narrow edges and trim during interior painting
• Protecting glass, switches and delicate surfaces from paint splatter
• Creating sharp lines for touch-ups and small finishing jobs
• Temporary holding, bundling and labeling in workshops

Key specifications

• Material: crepe paper backing with pressure-sensitive adhesive
• Width: 12 mm
• Length: 15 m
• Application method: hand-tearable, no dispenser required
• Suitable surfaces: painted walls, wood trim, glass, metal and other delicate finishes

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease before application. Unroll the tape and press it firmly along the edge to be masked, smoothing out any wrinkles or gaps to prevent paint bleed. For longer runs or higher adhesion requirements, apply the tape in small sections and overlap slightly as needed. Remove the tape by pulling back slowly at a consistent low angle after the paint has dried to the touch or within the manufacturer’s recommended removal window to avoid lifting fresh paint.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesion. Test adhesion on an inconspicuous area before use on highly sensitive surfaces. For prolonged outdoor exposure or heavy-duty masking, consider a wider or more durable variant designed specifically for exterior use.
