What is the difference between PowerTape® and typical double sided banner hemming tape?
A – The first difference is that PowerTape® is not double sided. It is a single sided tape, but it is made with a super strong film so that you get the strength of a hem without the hassle. With regular double sided banner hemming tape, you must lay down tape all along the edge of the banner, then carefully fold the fabric and press it against the tape. Most people find this to be a real pain! It takes some practice to get it right, plus, if you mess up you have to start all over or the hem looks awful. Using PowerTape® helps avoid another common problem with regular double sided tape. When banner fabric is folded, it has a “memory” and wants to unfold. If the tape adhesive softens or fails to maintain adhesion, this force will cause the hem to unfold, especially in warm weather. Since there is no fold with PowerTape®, this potential problem simply disappears.
