Tape runners come in all shapes and sizes. What is constant about adhesive runners is that they allow you to keep your fingers away from the adhesive and onto the paper and embellishments – where you want the adhesive! These are also all dry adhesives, which is one reason that they are preferred by scrapbooking enthusiasts.
As far as the economics of tape runners, most are refillable, making it easy to use your preferred method over and over. Some tape runners make it easy to “run” around corners, others work best in a linear fashion. One thing is for certain, there is a shape and style for every scrapbooker and paper crafter! Here are some of the popular tape runners along with their key features.
