3M Finish Line Knifeless Tape

 

Product Details

  • Cut graphic film or other materials without a knife, eliminating the risk of nicks and cuts from a blade.
  • Cuts most vinyl wrap films.
  • The patented design turns easily in any direction to follow contours and curves.

Knifeless tape technology is designed to cut graphic film or other materials without a knife, eliminating the risk of nicks and cuts from a blade on the surface of the vehicle or substrate. The knifeless tape consists of carrier tape for application and a visible, high-strength filament (line) to cut the film. The carrier tape and filament are flexible and turn smoothly along the contours and edges of the surface it is applied. The graphic film is placed over the tape and cutting is achieved by pulling the filament up through the film. A clean cut is made along the entire length of the applied tape. The carrier tape removes cleanly, leaving no adhesive residue.
