What is Transfer Tape?

Transfer Tape is a clear, sticky material used to lift your vinyl design off its backing sheet and place it perfectly onto your surface - like tumblers, walls, signs etc. It keeps your design in place, aligned, and intact while you transfer it from one surface to another. A must-have for any vinyl crafter. At Vibrant Vinyl Co, we stock the range of TeckWrap transfer tape.

Which Type?

Low Tack

Gentle and forgiving, low tack is perfect for layering delicate surfaces, or intricate designs.

Medium Tack

Your everyday go-to! Ideal for most standard adhesive vinyls like glossy, matte and patterned. Medium tack gives you the best balance of hold and release for crisp transfers and clean lines.

Strong/High Tack

Perfect for glitter or textured vinyl that need a little extra grip. Our strong grip transfer tape makes lifting those stubborn designs easy and smooth - no frustrating re-lifts here!

Extra Tips

  • Always test first! Try a small corner to check the grip before committing.
  • Use the right tack for the job. Too strong or too weak can affect your results.
  • Burnish well. Press firmly with a squeegee or scraper to get a clean lift.
  • Peel slowly. Roll the tape back on itself instead of pulling straight up.
  • Reuse when possible! If it's still sticky, give it a second life on a new project.
