- Photographs and film are delicate and can rip or break easily. Applying an adhesive not designed for use on photographs or film can result in minor to severe damage.
- People use adhesives in conjunction with photographs or film for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, adhesives are used with scrapbooking or to repair or reinforce film.
- 3M manufactures and sells two types of photographic tape: film splicing and photo and document mounting tape. Both types of tape come in a variety of sizes and colors, based on the needs and requirements of the user.
- Film splicing tape is used to combine rolls of film prior to processing or to repair film that broke while being used. The film spicing tape can also be used for applications that require a strong adhesive bond.
- Photo and document mounting tape is designed to be used with photographs and other documents where a strong adhesive tape could potentially cause damage. Depending on the need, document mounting tape comes in both single and double-sided varieties.
