Washi tape is a type of masking tape that originates from Japan, where “washi” refers to traditional Japanese paper made from natural fibers like bamboo, hemp, or the bark of a gampi tree. 

Washi tape is made from this traditional paper which gives it a unique texture and appearance, as well as making it extremely conformable and exceptional at cornering. Washi tape is lightweight, durable, and easy to tear by hand. 

Did you know our Killer Bee® masking tape was made from washi paper? Killer Bee® has proved to be successful in painting, window and door masking, and both indoor and outdoor masking due to clean removal capabilities.
