Why Choose PMI Tape?

PMI Tape products are built around cleaner workflow and easier screen printing production.

PMI products may help with:

✔ screen taping
✔ frame masking
✔ pallet adhesion
✔ cleaner removal
✔ reduced adhesive mess
✔ pressroom efficiency
✔ production consistency

For screen printers, tape and pallet workflow can directly affect setup speed, cleanup time and daily production efficiency.

PMI Screen Tapes

PMI screen tapes are used for masking, blocking out and protecting screen areas during production.

Kolormatrix carries PMI tape options including:

✔ PMI Split Tape
✔ PMI Full Adhesive Tape
✔ PMI Quick Rip Tape

PMI Split Tape includes non-sticky blue areas that allow the tape to peel cleanly without leaving residue, tearing or damaging emulsion. It is designed for masking the inside of rigid aluminum, roller and wood frames.

PMI Full Adhesive Tape uses the same adhesive and backing style as Split Tape, but without the blue adhesive-free areas. It is used for taping further into screens, taping the print side as blockout tape and masking inside wood frames.

PMI Quick Rip Tape is hand-tearable and includes a blue non-adhesive edge that provides a tab for lifting the tape from the screen.

PMI Dual-Tack Pallet Tape

PMI Dual-Tack pallet tape is designed to hold garments in place without traditional spray adhesive.

PMI Standard Dual-Tack pallet tape is sticky on both sides and can be reactivated by wiping with a wet sponge. It is designed for screen print and direct-to-garment pallets.

In real production terms, Standard Dual-Tack is most similar to a lighter everyday spray adhesive workflow.

Best for:

✔ general T-shirts
✔ standard production
✔ cleaner pallet workflow
✔ shops reducing spray adhesive use

Maintenance:

✔ mist with water
✔ wipe with sponge
✔ flash dry or air dry

Replacement frequency depends on production volume and may range from weekly to daily in heavy production.

PMI Dual-Tack High Tack Pallet Tape

PMI High Tack pallet tape is built for stronger hold.

The High Tack version is described as extra strength and ideal for fleece sweatshirts and heavier garments. It is sticky on both sides, eliminates the need for water-based or spray adhesive and can be reactivated with a wet sponge.

In real production terms, High Tack performs more like web spray adhesive.

Best for:

✔ fleece
✔ sweatshirts
✔ heavier garments
✔ performance wear
✔ difficult fabrics
✔ shops needing maximum hold

PMI PalletGel Adhesive Sheets

PMI PalletGel is a premium pallet adhesive sheet option designed for faster and cleaner screen printing workflows. The PMI Tape collection includes PalletGel adhesive sheets as part of the current product lineup.

In production, PalletGel offers a versatile hold level between Standard Dual-Tack and High Tack.

Best for:

✔ cleaner production workflows
✔ reduced overspray
✔ long-run production
✔ shops wanting a reusable pallet surface
✔ versatile garment handling

PalletGel has a higher starting cost but can be valuable for shops focused on long-term workflow efficiency.

PMI Tape Dispensers

Kolormatrix carries PMI dispenser options including the PMI Blue Tape Dispenser and PMI Deluxe Tape Dispenser.

The PMI Blue Dispenser is designed for Split Tape and Full Adhesive Tape rolls up to 4 inches wide and has an elevated cutting edge for easier measuring and cutting.

Tape dispensers help improve:

✔ setup speed
✔ cleaner tape cuts
✔ pressroom organization

PMI Dual-Tack and PalletGel products are especially useful for shops that want to reduce or eliminate spray adhesive use.

Benefits may include:
