Unbleached Cotton Tying Tape – Book Binding & Storage Tape
Books with loose or warped boards can be awkward to move or set aside for repair. Unbleached Cotton Tying Tape keeps them together without the stiffness of a conventional fastener. It also works well for bundling books and periodicals headed to the bindery.
The tape is especially handy in the gap between handling and repair. A damaged book can be tied together before it reaches the repair bench, and groups of books or periodicals can be bundled for the bindery. Its flat, soft cotton construction makes it easy to tie around materials without adding a rigid fastening element. The tape is also reusable, so it can be removed once the books no longer need to be held together.

When would I use tying tape on a damaged book?
It's useful when a book needs to stay together before it can be repaired. The tape can hold loose or warped boards in place during handling or while the book waits for repair.
Can I use it to bundle books for the bindery?
Yes. It's particularly useful for keeping groups of books or periodicals together before they're sent to the bindery.
Will the cotton tape be too stiff for older books?
The tape is soft and flexible, making it a gentler option for temporarily securing books and other materials than a rigid fastening material.
Can the tape be used more than once?
Yes. Carr McLean describes it as reusable, so you can remove it after the materials no longer need to be secured and use it again.
What makes this different from ordinary string?
The tape is flat, soft, and flexible, giving it a broader surface against the material than round string. That's useful when you're temporarily holding books, boards, or bundles together.
