Tape Shapes is a preferred converter for 3M, with most meeting requirements to be die-cut into any shape, Avery Dennison and Butyl Seal products. We offer a fast lead time on all orders, including overnight delivery if the product is in stock.

Adhesive tape was available, but having it cut to customer-requirement was only possible by sending the products overseas, creating long lead times that crippled manufacturing operations. Coming from different departmental backgrounds, with collective 33 years working at 3M Company, both Rod and Jack synergised their skills to found the first company of its kind in South Africa. Rod handled the sales side of the business while Jack built and operated the original die-cutting machines used to manufacture products for our first customers. Over the years, Tape Shapes grew at a steady pace, achieving ISO 9001:2008 certification and a Level 2 B-BBEE certificate in the process. Tape Shapes is an industrial converter, distributor and end-user supplier specialising in precision converting of a wide variety of adhesive tapes and flexible materials. 3M Company and Avery Dennison are our two main product suppliers, providing distinctive products for many applications and markets. We love a challenge by accepting all orders of almost any volume, having the ability to create unique products to specific customer requirement with lightning fast lead times. If there is a need for adhesive tape in your industrial assembly or fabrication process, we can help your company grow. Serving end-users, distributors and businesses throughout Southern Africa is what we do best. For 20 years, Tape Shapes has provided innovative solutions to help customers design, build and market their products. This unique interlocking system allows for storage cavities to be opened and closed with ease, without unsightly clamps that may be prone to rusting.
