Description
PMI #382 Dual Tack Pallet Tape 18″ — The Clean Way to Hold Garments on Press
Spray adhesive has been a screen printing staple for decades — but it’s messy, inconsistent, and adds chemical cost to every job. PMI 380 Dual Tack eliminates all of that with a contained, consistent adhesive surface right on your platen.
Why Shops Are Switching to PMI 380
No Spray Adhesive Needed
Spray adhesive overspray contaminates screens, clogs mesh, and builds up on press components. PMI 380 gives you a completely contained adhesive surface — what touches the tape stays on the tape.
Holds Everything Securely
The dual-tack surface grips fabric from placement through the entire print run — critical for multi-color registration where any garment shift ruins the print.
18″ — Large Platen Coverage
Covers large and oversized platens in a single strip — no overlap seam, no raised ridge that causes fabric distortion or registration issues.
Multiple Prints Per Application
The tape maintains its tack through multiple print cycles before needing replacement — significantly more economical than spraying adhesive on every garment.
Cleaner Shop Environment
No aerosol drift, no sticky residue on press arms, screens, or floors. PMI 380 keeps your shop cleaner and reduces time spent removing adhesive buildup from non-pallet surfaces.
Case of 4 Rolls
Purchase single rolls or a case of 4 for better per-roll pricing.

How to Apply PMI 380 to Your Platen
Ensure the platen is clean and free of old adhesive or residue.
Cut to fit your platen. Peel the backing and apply from one end, working out bubbles.
Use a squeegee or firm hand pressure to bond fully with no bubbles or lifted edges.
Place garments on the tacky surface and print. When tack diminishes, peel off and apply a fresh strip.
