The tack tape is said to hold three times as strongly as Tombow's earlier removable type. Penetration-blocking particles keep the glue from soaking too deep into the paper, so it can peel away cleanly. Tombow suggests it for temporarily fixing memos and for cut-and-paste work on documents. It shares its body with the [PiT Retry C](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/tombow-pit-retry-c-tape-runner/) and [PiT Power C](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/tombow-pit-power-c-tape-runner/). ## How does it compare with sticky notes? **It lets you make your own, in any size.** Run a strip along the back of a slip of paper and it becomes a removable note. For adhesive notes sold ready-made, see our [best sticky notes](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-sticky-notes/) roundup. ## What does the body offer? **A shake-correcting head and an oval, pocketable shape.** Tombow lists a Fit Head that compensates for a shaky hand so the full width transfers, a slim head for a clear view of the strip, an oval body that suits any grip, easy refills, and a full-cover cap that attaches to the back. ## What are the tape and the prices? **8.4 mm by 7 m.** Tombow lists, with tax, the body PN-CK at 330 yen (about US$2.09) and the refill PR-CK at 242 yen (about US$1.53). Prices are Japanese list prices at 158 yen to the dollar. | Runner | Tape | Refill | Refill per meter | |---|---|---|---| | PiT Retry C | 8.4 mm × 8 m | 242 yen | about 30 yen | | PiT Power C | 8.4 mm × 7 m | 242 yen | about 35 yen | | PiT Tack C | 8.4 mm × 7 m | 242 yen | about 35 yen | | PiT Air | 8.4 mm × 16 m | 385 yen | about 24 yen | | PiT Power D | 8.4 mm × 16 m | 363 yen | about 23 yen | Prices include tax and are Japanese list prices; per-meter figures are our arithmetic. ## What are the limits? **Peeling depends on the paper.** Tombow warns that, depending on the paper and conditions, the tape may not come off cleanly. Test on anything valuable first. Tombow says not to run the tape along a curve or a wavy line, to wipe dirt, water and oil off first, to apply at 15 to 35 °C because adhesion drops in the cold, and to replace the cap after use so dust stays off the glue. A fast pull can tear some papers into the roll, and some printers and copiers leave prints the glue will not stick to, so test anything important first. ## Where is it made, and what does it cost? **Tombow's page doesn't state a country of manufacture.** The company is based in Tokyo. At 330 yen with tax (about US$2.09), the runner is in our $ band (under $5). ## Frequently asked questions ### What does tack tape do?
