Document Repair Tape – Archival Mending Tissue (Acid-Free)
Document Repair Tape is made for mending tears, splits, and other damage in paper. Its thin, acid-free tissue sits neatly over the damaged area, and the reversible adhesive allows the repair to be removed later if needed.

This acid-free repair tape provides strong support while remaining reversible and non-yellowing. The tissue is thin enough for detailed paper repair without making the repaired area feel bulky.

Will it make the repaired area stiff?
The tissue is thin and flexible, so it adds support without the bulk of a heavier repair material.
Can the tape be removed later?
Yes. The adhesive is reversible, which is useful when a future conservator may need to revisit the repair.
Does the adhesive yellow over time?
The product is made with a non-yellowing adhesive, which keeps the repair stable over time.
What makes this suitable for conservation work?
Its acid-free tissue, reversible adhesive, thin profile, and flexibility make it suited to repair work where the condition of the original paper needs to be considered.
How is it applied to a damaged document?
The tissue can be cut to the required size, placed over the damaged area, and pressed into position. A bone folder can be used to burnish the repair.
