What is knifeless tape and why do we use it during the installation of vehicle wraps?

Knifeless tape is a vinyl cutting tool that uses a high strength filament, contained within a flexible application tape, to cut clean lines, through vinyl installed on a vehicle’s surface, without a blade.

The tape is laid down on the surface of the vehicle along the path that will be cut. The vinyl is then applied over the tape and the filament is pulled along the tape line. The filament cuts the vinyl and the tape is removed, cleanly, with no adhesive residue. It's a clever product that removes one of the most stressful aspects of vehicle wrap installation: cutting vinyl on the vehicle. It's great for those who desire a safer, easier method for cutting and finishing wraps.

The use of knifeless tape removes the need for a wrap installer to use a knife blade on a vehicle’s finish therefore preventing damage. There are different varieties, of knifeless tape, designed for different application aspects of vehicle wraps. When used properly, this tape, speeds up installation time, provides cleaner cuts and seams, and prevents damage to a vehicle’s finish.

At StandardWraps™ we utilize knifeless tape on all of our installations to provide the best quality product for your project.
