Secure artwork and drafting paper without reaching for aggressive masking tape with Pro® Drafting Tape. Designed specifically for drafting and stationery applications, this low tack paper tape uses a specially formulated adhesive that provides reliable temporary holding while minimizing adhesive residue.
It's also an excellent choice for watercolor artists. The tape resists water, solvents, and oil, making it useful for securing watercolor paper to a board and masking borders while painting.
Pro Drafting Tape is acid-free, repositionable, hand tearable, and writable, giving artists, designers, framers, and students a versatile tape for studio and drafting-table use. Its clean-removal properties also make it particularly useful anywhere materials need to be held temporarily without the aggressive bond of conventional masking tapes.

Why Low Tack Matters
Standard masking tape can adhere too aggressively for artwork and delicate paper applications. Pro Drafting Tape's lower-tack adhesive is designed for temporary positioning and easier removal, making it a more appropriate choice for drafting and many art applications where the tape eventually needs to come back off.
As with any adhesive used on artwork, testing the tape on a small area first is wise when working with particularly delicate or valuable surfaces.
A Drafting Tape That Watercolorists Will Actually Search For
Despite the name, this isn't useful only at a drafting table. Its combination of low tack adhesion and resistance to water makes it especially relevant for watercolor artists who need to secure paper or create masked borders during painting.
That makes “watercolor tape” an important secondary search term even though the manufacturer's official product name is Pro® Drafting Tape.
Important Use Note
Pro® Drafting Tape is intended for drafting, stationery, framing, and temporary holding applications. It is not designed or guaranteed for demanding industrial masking applications, including spray painting or oven-baking processes.
