Why crêpe paper is indispensable in the workshop
Unlike flat tapes, crêpe tape has a backing made of creped paper. This specific structure gives the tape a mechanical ‘body’ and a unique elasticity that are essential for work on vehicles.
In a sector where contours, curves and complex shapes are the norm, the stretchability of crêpe paper offers the freedom you need. The tape shapes effortlessly around wheel arches, bumpers and wing mirrors, without losing adhesive strength or springing back during the process.

The functional benefits of crêpe as an automotive tape
For the professional buyer, choosing a high-quality crêpe tape is a choice for process optimisation. The technical features of our tapes are directly geared to daily practice in the workshop or spray booth:
- Temperature resistance during drying: Automotive processes often rely on drying ovens. Our specialised tapes are designed to stay stable at high temperatures, retaining their adhesion and allowing removal in one piece after the process.
- Mechanical protection during sanding: The robust paper layer acts as an effective buffer. During sanding or the application of coatings, the thickness of the tape provides physical protection for the surrounding bodywork.
- Chemical resistance to paints: The sector works with various paints and solvents. A high-quality tape resists the penetration of these substances, keeping the masked areas fully protected and leaving no adhesive residue behind.
A strategic range choice for the specialist trade
For wholesalers and suppliers to the automotive industry, carrying a dedicated line of crêpe tapes offers great opportunities. It’s a product group where technical performance counts for more than the lowest price. After all, a good automotive tape prevents costly rework caused by paint bleed or unintended damage to the vehicle.
At ATS, we support our partners in putting together this range. By focusing on the right micron thickness and the right adhesive technology (such as natural rubber for high instant adhesion to metal), you position yourself as an expert who speaks the language of the vehicle specialist.
