PMI 451 Split Tape 2″ — The Smarter Way to Mask a Screen

Every screen printing shop tapes their frames. The difference is how long it takes — and how much cleanup follows. PMI 451 Split Tape’s patented dual-zone design sticks exactly where it should and releases cleanly where it shouldn’t.

✅ Plastisol

✅ Water-Based

✅ Discharge

✅ Specialty

Why PMI 451 Split Tape 2″ Outperforms Regular Masking Tape

🔵

The Blue Zone — No Adhesive

The blue stripe contains zero adhesive. It sits against the inner channel and well of your frame, making it impossible for the tape to bond to surfaces that need to stay clean. This is what enables the one-pull clean removal.

⚡

High-Tack Adhesive Where It Counts

The clear adhesive side bonds firmly to your mesh, sealing off open areas between the stencil edge and the frame. Prevents ink bleed-through during printing while still allowing easy removal after the job.

✂️

Tear-Resistant Backing

PMI 451’s backing tears cleanly and predictably, giving you straight, precise edges on every strip. No fraying, no second guessing — just fast, accurate application every time.

🛡️

Emulsion Safe

Releases without pulling your stencil — especially important after long runs with heat, which can cause some aggressive tape adhesives to bond more strongly to emulsion over time.

⏱️

Faster Reclaim

One clean peel replaces scraping, solvent application, and picking off tape fragments — freeing up your crew for the next job. Shops consistently report faster reclaim times after switching to PMI.

🏭

Universal Frame Compatibility

Works on rigid aluminum, roller, and wood frames. The 2″ width fits narrow channels and small-format frames without overlapping the image area.

How to Apply PMI Split Tape

Step 1 — Orient the Tape

Blue side faces the frame well. Clear adhesive side faces out over the mesh. Getting this right is what makes clean removal possible.

Step 2 — Apply Along the Frame

Work one side at a time, keeping the tape straight and tension-free.

Step 3 — Press the Adhesive Zone

Firm pressure along the clear zone seals the mesh. Run a finger or squeegee to eliminate air pockets.

Step 4 — One-Pull Removal

After printing, grip a corner and peel back in one motion. Clean, fast, done.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions — PMI 451 Split Tape 2″

Which side goes against the frame well?

Always the blue side. The blue stripe is non-adhesive — it sits against the frame channel without bonding. The clear adhesive side goes over the mesh edge to create the seal.

Why choose the 2″ width?

Use the 2″ when your frame channels are narrower, you’re printing close to the stencil edge, or when a 3″ strip would overlap the image area.

How many rolls per case?

The 2″ PMI 451 Split Tape comes 36 rolls per case. For reference: 2″ = 36/case, 3″ = 24/case, 4″ = 18/case. All rolls are 60 yards.

Does PMI Split Tape work with water-based and discharge inks?

Yes. PMI 451 is compatible with all ink systems. The adhesive maintains its seal even with lower-viscosity water-based and discharge formulas.

Will it damage my emulsion on removal?

No. PMI 451 is specifically engineered to be emulsion safe. The adhesive releases cleanly from the mesh without lifting the stencil.

Can I reuse Split Tape for multiple press runs?

PMI Split Tape is designed for single-use per press run. After removal, the adhesive zone may be compromised by ink or debris. Fresh tape on each setup is always recommended.
