problematic application process
on September 27, 2025

Nearly impossible to remove the protective layer. Had to resort to fine-tipped surgical instruments (a pair of forceps and a hemostat) to grasp and lift the leading edge sufficiently to be able to separate and peel away manually. Instructions on the packaging might help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it to put up my posters. It doesn't stick to the wall. It couldn't keep an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper on the wall for more than 5 minutes. Paper backing is also a pain to get off. Absolute waste of money

Great for the slick panels of cubicle walls. Tried regular 1-sided scotch tape but it would peel itself off by the end of the day. This poster tape is the perfect replacement, adheres to even the slick surface of the cubicle wall.
Several reviewers complaining about separating the backing seem to have difficulty problem solving. However, it does require some care when applying. Tear off and apply to the poster first, then I use the edge of a utility knife to separate the paper backing.
I love this tape and would have given it 5 stars, but would love for you to make the sticky part the slightest bit narrower, so I can get the backing off!!! (might save you a bit as well!)

I tried for over 10 minutes to get the thick backing off and had other family members try and it is very difficult and not worth buying unless you want to spend 5 hours to make your tape. I have fingernails and it would not work. Also it is so thin and you need alot of tape for it to actually stick. Worthless and expensive.

i bought this product thinking it was removable, hence the name, but it most absolutely is NOT removable. it works great as a permanent bond because that is totally and regretfully what happened to pictures i stuck to a birthday poster.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Reading the other reviews just now, Scotch already knows this product is crap and has had plenty of time to fix the issue, but no, it's still Crap. I have tried every method of application and no matter what I do, I cannot separate the paper from the tape without removing the tape as well. You have a lot of nerve continuing to market such garbage. I want my money back!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've read reviews from people who have trouble removing the paper from the tape. If you place the tape on the poster first, run your finger nail or stiff object along the the edges and then separate the paper from the tape, it works like a dream. I use this tape all the time in my sign making business and it has no equal! Holds fast and comes off cleanly and easily. I recommend it to all my clients and sometimes give them a roll with their order. I only wish it came in larger rolls so I wouldn't have to waste all that plastic packaging!
