PMI #451FA Full Adhesive Tape for Screen Printing – Secure Bonding Solution
PMI
The PMI 451FA Full Adhesive Tape — 3″ wide × 60 yards uses the same premium backing as the 451 Split Tape but with adhesive across the entire width — no split zone. Built for print-side blockout, deep interior masking, and wood frame applications where full-width adhesion is required.
Price range: $6.99 through $228.00
Description
PMI 451FA Full Adhesive — The Split Tape Backing, Without the Split
The 451FA is for applications where full-width adhesion matters more than the split-zone design. Taping further into the screen interior, print-side blockout, or masking large areas of a wood frame — these call for complete adhesive coverage that the split zone can’t provide. The 451FA delivers exactly that.
Ink Compatibility
Where 451FA Fits in Your Tape Lineup
Tape Further Into the Screen
When you need to extend coverage beyond the frame edge deeper into the screen interior, full-width adhesion holds without a non-adhesive gap that could allow ink migration.
Print-Side Application
Applying tape to the print side of a screen as a blockout requires full adhesion across the entire width. The non-adhesive zone on the 451 Split Tape isn’t appropriate for print-side use — 451FA is the right choice.
Wood Frame Masking
Wood frames with wide interior channels sometimes require full-width adhesion to seal properly, especially when taping sections that the split-zone blue area would leave unbonded.
PMI-Quality Backing
451FA uses the same tear-resistant polymer backing and clean-release adhesive formulation as the Split Tape — not a generic alternative. The same residue-free removal you expect from PMI, without the dual-zone design.
All Ink Systems
Compatible with plastisol, water-based, discharge, and specialty inks.
Available in 2″, 3″, 4″
Same full width range as the Split Tape line — standardize on PMI quality across all your tape needs.

451FA vs. 451 Split Tape — When to Use Each
Use 451FA When…
Taping the print side, extending tape deep into the screen interior, or working in areas where the non-adhesive blue zone would leave gaps in coverage.
Use 451 Split Tape When…
Masking the inside of the frame channel — the blue non-adhesive zone faces the well for the cleanest possible one-pull removal.
Both Available in 2″, 3″, 4″
