BookGuard Book Binding Tape, 3 Inch Black Cloth, 15 Yard Roll

I picked up the BookGuard 1 Inch Premium Bookbinding Replacement Strips to repair and strengthen some of my old books, and they’ve worked better than I expected. These strips feel durable and well made — much stronger than regular tape or cheap fixes. Once applied, they hold the pages securely in place and give the book a clean, professional look, almost like it was rebound. The 1-inch size was perfect for the projects I had, and the adhesive sticks well without peeling up over time. I appreciated how easy they were to use — you don’t need special tools or skills to get a neat result. The strips align easily, and they don’t bunch up or wrinkle when being applied if you take your time. I also noticed that the finished result feels stable — the books open and close naturally without pages loosening again, which was exactly what I was looking for. Whether I was working on textbooks, notebooks, or even some older paperback favorites, the strips made the binding stronger and helped preserve them for continued use. Overall, this feels like a practical, high-quality solution for anyone wanting to repair or reinforce books without a full rebinding job. If you’ve got well-loved books that need a bit of TLC, these strips are definitely worth having around.

Using this tape I've fixed a couple 100 year old falling apart books and they're holding up great. It's so sticky, make sure the cover gap you're taping is exactly the way you want it before putting this on it. Because it'll never come off! It's more expensive than regular tape, but it's archival quality and safe for old books, and with 45 feet of it you can fix half a library. Definitely worth it if you want to do a lasting fix. Just wish they offered it in an antique white color to match the yellowing color most older books get with age. This bright white kind of stands out. But it's inside the cover so no big deal.

This tape is exactly what I needed for my book repairs. My hard-back Bible was falling apart on the covers & spine cover, but the pages & page binding are in good condition. It was going to cost almost $200 to have it rebound. I have notes & comments written throughout mine, so it would've been a big task to copy them all to a new Bible. Using this tape on the external surfaces has given my favorite Bible a new life! The fabric tape is easy to apply in smooth, straight lines. It is tough and has strong adhesion to the book cover, so I am hopeful that i will get many more years' use out of it.

I'm sure this works fantastically for books, but what I use it for is binding the edges of a needlepoint canvas while I'm working on it. There is nothing more frustrating than the yarn getting caught on the edges of a canvas while I'm working, which can tear and utterly ruin it, and this cloth tape prevents that. I lay down a length on one side, press it down, flip the canvas, and fold the excess smoothly over. I was afraid I would have to be exact about the amount on each side, but I don't: it's not like dealing with paper; the stickiness does not come through the canvas onto my yarn or hands. I use the white so I don't get visually distracted, although I'm sure other people would love the range of colors available. I use the 2" on the top and bottom of my canvas, where the weave gives way the easiest, and the 1 1/2" on the sides, which are not as open to fraying but are still rough.

very strong a sticky but over priced. pro tapes is much cheaper and similar quality

Purchased to repair my Bible. Very clean, easy to apply. Once applied does not come off so be careful you measure correctly and take your time to apply. Thickness of the tape will provide durability and longevity.

Worked well for binding a relatively small book. I had concerns about how well it would adhere to the surface, however, this concern was unfounded. Tape was thick, strong and stuck to the surface easily. It was exactly what I was looking for.

My son plays the organ at church and his hymnal spine was cracked. This green book tape matched perfectly, and was easy to use. The 1.5 inch width worked out well for our hymnal. The adhesive is strong and the tape is flexible, perfect for book spines. There’s a lot of extra tape left after repairing it but I’m sure it’ll come in handy.

Good strong tape that strengthens the spine and covers over the staples used to put the book together. Looks good on booklets also when repairing spines of printed books.

The book binding tape is exactly what I was looking for to make a lay flat album, so glad I purchased

Good

Used to repair a kindle case, among other things. It does exactly what is says. Unlike a product from another vendor, for which I have to find a use - perhaps as masking tape as it peels so easily.

Good quality, quite strong tape.
