Magic Tape in its familar packaging.

Magic Tape is a brand within the Scotch Tape family of adhesive tapes made by 3M, sold in distinctive plaid packaging.

Invented and introduced in 1961, it is the original matte finish tape. It appears frosty on the roll, yet is invisible on paper. This is due to the absence of acetate preventing it from reflecting light.[citation needed] This quality makes it extremely popular for gift-wrapping[1] . Also, it can be written upon with pen, pencil or marker, comes in permanent and removable varieties, and resists drying out and yellowing, all of which make it such a popular brand for various tasks.


Scotch® Magic™ Tape is a trademark of 3M.


Notes

  1. ^ An even less visible descendant of Magic Tape, Scotch GiftWrap Tape, was introduced in 1997.
