Wonderful
Size: 20mm X 33m
I love this kind of sublimation tape. I have used this kind for years, and of course different sizes depending on what I am making. When I first started out with sublimation, I use the amber sublimation tape that came with certain products that you start off buying. I started off with tumblers and used this amber tape to tape down my seams, wow, much to my discuss the amber tape left its color on my tumblers. I was discussed and it was just not one, but about 3 of them. It took me another 2 hours to peel off all the sublimation pictures and the amber tape to have to redo many many tumblers. I found out then, that this has happened to many other people (facebook, pintrest, etc) and switched over then to this tape and have never use another color but clear tape.
I have even had to take this tape off the sub pic when I did not get it lined up correctly and it did not tear the sub pic or do any other damage and I could reuse the same piece that I started with. Won't buy anything else

Good width, doesn’t leave residue
Size: 20mm X 33m
I love this tape for the width and the fact that it doesn’t leave residue. It’s also easy to remove when you are peeling it. (For both tumblers and shirts)
The only issue I have is that when you are trying to tape tightly on a tumbler, it doesn’t always adhere tight so often times it snaps off of tumblers when pulling it to stick.
