Quality That Sticks: Choosing Convention Center Floor Tape
Trade shows and conventions are always exciting events. With so much to see and learn in the exhibit halls, it’s no surprise that most convention attendees don’t notice what’s right under their feet. But if you’re in charge of booth or event setup, you understand the critical role of quality supplies like convention center floor tape.
What Is Convention Center Floor Tape?
Convention center floor tape is a type of double-sided tape that is used to hold down carpet in convention centers and other large venues. It is also used to hang, seam and splice poly sheeting.
The best convention center floor tape is made of a cloth material that is reinforced with fibers. With this type of composition, the tape is strong and durable, yet still easy to tear, apply and remove at the end of each show.
No matter what type of event you have planned, it’s good to choose a tape that’s also conformable and moisture-resistant, which makes it ideal for use in a variety of environments.
Benefits of Floor Tape
There are many benefits to using convention center floor tape. One benefit is that it is very strong and durable. This means that it can hold down even the heaviest carpets. Keeping carpeting or sheeting in walkways and booth areas flat and smooth is important for the safety of visitors and exhibitors. The last thing you want to do is create tripping hazards.
Another benefit is that this type of tape, which has a removable liner, is designed to be easy to apply and remove. This makes it a great choice for busy convention centers that set up and tear down shows frequently and under tight deadlines.
Why You Should Avoid Using Regular Tape
Experienced show producers and facility crews know that regular double-sided tape is not a good choice for use in convention centers. It is not as strong as convention center floor tape, so it is more likely to come loose. Regular tape is also more difficult to remove, which can damage carpeting and require extra time for teardown crews.
Choosing Quality Convention Center Floor Tape
When you are looking for quality convention center floor tape, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Make sure that the tape is made of a durable material. At SHIP-PAQ, our tape is made of reinforced cloth for durability. It offers good strength and elongation for easy application and tearing.
- Choose a tape that’s easy to apply and remove. Count on our tape for clean removal on most surfaces.
- Make sure that the tape is effective and affordable. Natural rubber adhesive gives our tape high tack and aggressive adhesion for a secure bond. At the same time, the low VOC content can contribute toward satisfying EQ Credit 4.1 (low-emitting materials) under LEED.
