Even the old standby products can undergo a transformation and become a hot commodity again. This is the case with masking tape, now available in a variety of exciting colors and posting some truly impressive, reinvigorated sales.

Several tape producers are marketing a line of colored masking tapes that can be used for many different projects, both at home and in the workplace. These updated tapes are identical to the original cream or white masking tapes that we are all familiar with, except they come in a rainbow of colors, several widths and thicknesses. From black to pink and neon shades, the new masking tape colors are encouraging consumers to be creative and find new uses for this old favorite.

Traditional masking tape is a paper based tape with a rather weak adhesive, often used to keep paint from adhering to areas next to those being painted. Several different versions of traditional masking tape were popular for years, including a blue painters tape that provided a little better seal against leakage. The new masking tape colors are made of the same materials but sport new updated hues.

Businesses are using the new tapes as an inexpensive, easily identifiable color coding system for everything from file folders to inventory and stock rooms. Since the tapes are easy to write on, they are great for labeling.

Homeowners are finding many ways to use the masking tape colors. Making signs, art projects and interior décor. Using a laser level or freehand, colored masking tape can create colorful wall murals for pennies.

Masking tape colors are bright, cost effective and easy to use. Experiment with these new tapes and add some color to your life!
