Then And Now #76 Scotch Brand Tape

Well, wrapping is always one of the very last things I do - and I've really been going through the Scotch Tape this week! Seemed a perfect time for a trip down memory lane with another of my favorite products (Yes, brand loyalty is big around here. I've mentioned before that I'm sick of trying - and being unhappy with - inferior products. I use coupons, and I stock up when things are on sale, so I don't feel one bit of guilt about getting what I believe to be the best.) First up is a Scotch Tape advertisement from 1948:

1951 - I adore those old decorated tapes!:

How about some "Hollywood Tape Tricks" with Bing, Bob, and Dorothy? (1952)

Scotch Brand Freezer Tape from 1955:

1956 asks the question "Which Scotch Brand Tape do you need today?":

Design your own Cut-Ups with with Scotch Plastic Tape! 1968:

Magic Transparent Tape, 1970:

1973 - Transparent Tape "Never Yellows Stays Clear":
Holiday Taping Tips, also from 1973:

3M has SO many different Scotch Brand tape products available today!
These are just some that I have on hand "Now":


Happy taping to you.
And may all your packages stay intact.
