Tip of Adhesive Tape for Tearing  

Adhesive tape rolls tends to stick back on the roll after use, if not mounted on a tape dispenser properly. Each time one has to search its end.

The material, appearance and holder add up to loosing of the open tip of the adhesive tape while using. To use the adhesive tape again one has to search for its end.

Person needs to scratch and pull the tape to use it once more. Thinner the tape, higher the difficulty and annoyance caused. There should be some means to track the end with the tape itself.

all cello tape rolls are supposed to be mounted on its standard stand, not to be used without them, without the cutter stand obviously one will have this difficulty.

Heard of something called tape dispenser???
GR - 04 11 05 - 08:31
smart comments by GR and rajeev, its not supposed to be used without the dispenser, but the fact is, the tape is used without the dispenser most of the times!. And this makes it a badly designed product, coz a good design should facilitate right usage....
I wonder why cynicism rulez instead of analysis....is this the design community of India???

Tape dispenser is the only solution found to address the said problem & also this problem can not be arrested due to it's nature.
