MT - Masking Tape

The classic Masking Tape of the Japanese manufacturer Kamoi Kakoshi was originally used in Latin-America to avoid that determinate parts get colour. With time, fans of the simple tape out of rice-paper developed new usage possibilities and use the Masking Tape for decorative purpose.

In the summer of 2006 the Japanese manufacturer Kamoi Kakoshi received a notice of enthusiasts of the filigree tape. They used the tape for decorative purposes in connection with the design of a book and wanted to open a gate through the tape factory. Shortly afterwards Kamoi received an edition of the book “Little press” which was designed with the Masking Table.

The designers of the book soon came to view the factory of the Masking Tapes and asked the manufacturers to produce more colours. The rest is history: at first 20 different clear and elegant colour variations came to the market, they fulfilled the qualities of the filigree rice-paper perfectly. Meanwhile Masking Tape is available in numerous further colours and with the most different motives and patterns.

The Masking Tape offers numerous usage possibilities with its soft colours and the characteristics of the filigree rice-paper: it doesn’t leave traces when it is removed, one can write on it, use it to glue gifts and place notices at fridges, etc.
