Have you ever thought about using Con-Tact paper instead of transfer tape? Well Jessica put this idea to the test to see which one works better!
A lot of people think Con-Tact paper is cheaper than transfer tape. In reality, you get a lot less product from the dollar store. So, when you compare the amount of product you get to the price you pay, they really are about the same price. So why not use the product that was made to be used with vinyl?
Jessica demonstrates in this video the ease of use transfer tape really makes when using vinyl. The Con-Tact paper in this video made it difficult to peel up the vinyl but released it well. The transfer tape made it easy to pick up the vinyl and release it.
Like stated in the video, Con-Tact paper might work great in a pinch, but if you’re serious about vinyl we recommend using our transfer tape. Check out this link to look at the different transfer tape we sell! goo.gl/yRafGi

Irrespective of the performance of transfer tape versus contact paper, the cost analysis you did on the two is wholly incorrect. Contact paper is indeed cheaper. You failed to acknowledge the width difference of the two rolls when calculating cost per square inch. The transfer tape is only 12" wide whereas the contact paper is 18" wide. This has to be included in your calculations. (18"x 54" at $1 compared to 12"x 360" at $9.99) You would essentially pay $4.44 for the same amount of contact paper that you would pay $9.99 for in transfer tape.
She was already hating contact tac paper from the get go haha works for a vinyl company or not poor like some ppl so she dont mind buying the higher stuff some ppl dont have that benefit. Always seen ppl use clear shelf liner from dollar tree to tranfee vinyl way better then this
@@RainorShine1 agree 💯
I dont think you did this very fair, watching the video you rubbed harder on the Transfer tape than you did the contact paper, I use contact paper all the time and never have the the problem you just showed. But I love your Videos and your Store
I was thinking the exact same thing. Agree 100%.
i can't get my vinyl to stick to the contact paper =/ I have had to rub hard and on both sides and pushed down my letter for it come up. it won't even stick to glitter..
Allison Riessen this transfer tape they sell is amazing! I never have to worry about scrapping as hard as i did with contact paper and even then it was still a pain
#teamTransferTape
I agree, questions? Does she have a business that she promotes? That could be why?
This was obviously a very biased video. I got a roll of contact paper at Walmart for $4.97 that is 18" wide and 20ft long. The price per square inch on that comes out to roughly .001. The transfer tape is $9.99 for 12" by 30ft which equates to .002 per square inch. So Contact paper is cheaper, by half. When you use a lot that adds up. I don't really have any problems with contact paper for transferring. I personally like the paper backing as I think it makes it easier to work with and cut the right size and not be wasteful.
You didn't rub the contact paper hard enough like you did the transfer! I use contact paper cause I don't have a craft store in my town and have never had the issue you had!
Where do you get rhe words from?
I agree 100% with this video. I bought some Contact paper from the dollar tree, because people kept telling me it was the best and cheapest thing to do...I have struggled so hard with it. It didn't matter how much I rubbed or pressed it just didn't want to pick up the vinyl. I got tired of it and went and purchased transfer tape. Best money I've spent. It saved me so much time and hassle. Sometimes the cheapest way, isn't the best way.
Contact paper is a hit or miss. Sometimes I use use it and it works great and others it's hard to pick up the vinyl. Transfer tape definitely picks up waaaaay easier, but contact paper is a great for small little projects that you dont want to waste the good expensive stuff on lol I also have used the white contact paper from the dollar store, I love it! It works great as a removable vinyl!
That's all she had to say🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ Then her video would of been real.
sorry but this was obviously bias.....
I’ve had such problems with contact paper. I’ve transferred small letters onto mugs & glass. It was awful. I nearly gave up. I searched here to see if it’s common to have such a struggle. I’m real happy to have found this video & to read others have had a hard time too. Now I have hope that transfer tape will make it easier.
I agree with you. Sometimes the contract paper works ok, and sometimes it’s a pain. I noticed that my sparkle paper, the contact paper will not pick it up at all. I haven’t used the transfer tape yet, but I’m sure going to go get some! Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks! This answered some questions I've had. Love your store.
I've been using the Contact paper for almost a year. The only problem that I have run across it that it will sometimes leave some adhesive on your vinyl if it stays on more that 24 hours. Even more so if the cut project with contact paper is left in a hot vehicle.
Interesting video, not sure what it costs in the US, but in Australia transfer paper is $40+ dollars where contact paper is $5 for the same size rolls. It really is a lot less to use the contact paper in terms of finances.
Accurate video in my opinion. I tried being cheap (as this was a donation) and used contact paper. I had 125 decals to do. Way too much work, effort and time. Never will I stray from REAL transfer tape again. The contact paper was exactly like you showed, no matter how many times I rubbed the front and back of the decals, it did not lift the vinyl. I gave up after 5 decals and used the real deal (transfer tape) and not the cricut brand either...I use what the sign shops use.
Your video was very informative. I am new to the Cricut scene and truthfully never tried a transfer yet. Today I happen to be at the Dollar Tree so went ahead and bought Contact paper.............wish me luck!
Even while buying the Contact paper I realized that the cost was only a $1.00 but the amount was so little. If I decide to continue the the transfer thing, I definitely think investing in transfer tape would be the way to go. Thanks Again
i use contact paper on everything and never have a problem with it.
Just ran a similar exercise last night and got pretty much the same result. Thank you.
Thank you!
I use contact paper all the time for all of my vinyl projects and I've never had to work it like did. I put it down, rub over it and it sticks right to it. If tried a bunch of different transfer tapes and I had a lot of problems with it. Plus I use the same piece of contact paper over and over. I actually think I've used one of the pieces for over a year!
Hi Monica, we'll have to give it another try. We tend to go back to the paper transfer tape that we carry. Most of us enjoy that one. Thanks!
I would venture to say you tend to go back to the one you carry because you carry it...lol. It's kind of a biased opinion. You even said before you tried it that you would stick with contact paper because it's made to transfer vinyl. In actuality it's "marketed" to transfer vinyl. Hence why it costs so much. It's all marketing.
I've never had an issue with contact paper.
Monica Bryant does clear laminate the same work the same
@@cmil1051 I'm guessing transfer tape IS actually MADE to transfer vinyl. I remember reading an article a little while back about the careful balance that needs to be achieved with the adhesive on transfer tape for it to work properly. It has to be strong enough to pull the weeded vinyl off of its paper backing (read: the tape needs to adhere more strongly to the vinyl than the vinyl adheres to its backing), but also weak enough that the vinyl pieces will release onto whatever substrate they are attached to (read: the vinyl adheres more strongly to that substrate than the transfer tape adheres to the vinyl). Contact paper might achieve this balance, but what I'm saying is that I'm guessing at least some of the things marketed as transfer tape use adhesive specifically formulated for use with vinyl transfers. (As we know, not all transfer tape is created equal.)

Thank you for sharing this information. I found it Very Helpful!
Sometimes we may run out of our favorites and look for something closer to home until our order can come in. Painters tape works goo - right on down to masking tape. I would not use it all the time because it would be rather expensive. It's a quickie when you're out. The dollar tree can make some great savings as well. I don't always believe when a person pushes these high-end products because usually, the company furnishes an abundant supply for free.
Yep
Have you used vinyl from dollar tree ? It's sticky on its own right? I just got a original cricket I'm poor and I'm Learning what I can do
Did anybody notice how the table shook extra hard when she pressed on the second transfer tape🤔🤔🤔🤔 But didn't shake at all using the dollar store tape, she barely pressed on it!!! IjS... I'm new to this... just got my Awesome Explore 2 & need tips. I didn't even know Dollar Tree sold transfer tape until this video to be fair. But she was Not fair... Not cool
I've had issues with all the tapes I've tried like the contact paper you used
I use contact paper, but you have totally sold me on transfer tape. I always have a problem with the vinyl picking up on the contact paper and it's super frustrating! Thanks so much for the video. :)
Awesome! I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for watching!
I hadn't thought of using contact paper instead of transfer paper so this is good info. Wonderful demo. Happy holidays to you all!
Thank you! Hope you had a wonder Holiday!
Thank you so much!!
I will honestly say I use multiple transfer mediums and all have their ups and downs. I like con-tact paper because it's not as tacky as cricut's transfer tape therefore it releases easier. However with con-tact paper I have had some of the tackiness stay on my vinyl after transfering. It's not horrible as it comes off easy enough. Now today I tried wet application with the paper transfer tape and I absolutely love it over any other medium I've used. My only complaint is not being able to see my design as well. Use what works for you. I will continue to keep all on hand for different projects. Con-tact paper is also a decent substitute in an emergency if you can't wait for something to be shipped to you.
The comments say it all I shall use both depending on my needs.
Interesting. I have a project I have to get done right away for my son's water bottle for school, and I've never used adhesive vinyl before. I'm a newb. I didn't know I needed transfer tape, and all I have at home is contact paper. So I'll use it this time, and get transfer tape for next time! Thanks for the video!
Great! I hope your project went well!
I’m obsessed with the transfer tape you sell!!!!
Yeah!!
Outdoor Outdoor, me too!!! very good material
does the sample pack I ordered come with and transfer tape?
I tried both contact and transfer tape, giving the benefit of the doubt welI.....I just couldn’t work with contact tape and I was trying harder with contact tape and did not work at all , then I use the transfer tape and didn’t have to struggle trying to stick the vynil onto it!!!!
Thank you for sharing this experiment. It has helped.
- I'm a newbie 😊
You are welcome! Let us know if you have any other questions.
I use contact paper and since it has the paper backing I reuse it with no problem.
So you can re use it???
Started watching and this sounds like a very biased video. That's a shame.
Lol... Dos you heat the easy she said "" A little bit"🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ That was sooooo phony!
What brand is the transfer tape you used (the roll)
Nice comparision. Contact paper is no transfer tape like you said. Wasn't made for vinyl crafting, but its still a good option to have. Just like weeding hooks/ tools, you could use a sewing needle as well even if it wasn't meant for weeding.
Thanks so much! I'm just starting out on Cricut Air 2. And I bought contact paper, was told its the same difference for less $$$
But I cannot pick up my white vinyl designs what so ever!! *lol*

Are your letters ink or die cut vinyl? If ink, did you use a laser printer or an inkjet? Thanks so much!
Good video. Most helpful.
Thanks Tanya!
For someone in the US, this video makes sense. But I live in Mexico and contact paper is WAY cheaper than transfer tape. There are different types and brands of contact paper, so it takes some trial and error but once you find the one that works, you’re good to go. I’ve only used transfer tape a few times (the sample piece that comes with the cricut) and compared to the contact paper I use, it’s the same. (:
I actually wrote my review before trying the Contact paper so will have to comment again after I try it...just to be fair. I still say thank you, I did enjoy your video and will let you know how my first project goes.
Thank You for tuning in and you will need to let us know how it worked for you.
"thats our transfer tape" that's all u need to know
LOLOLOL “emergency situation” 😂
Jenna VanVolkswagen I thought the same thing- what kind of “emergency situation “ are you going to run into while crafting?! Unless that utility knife is involved and you need the contact paper to stop the bleeding... (too much ?) lol
In my experience, save the transfer tape for the larger projects such as banners and vehicle graphics.
I think what people are talking about when they say that contact paper is cheaper is the “duck“ brand adhesive shelf liner. I’ve never had any issues with it and it’s only five dollars for an 18“ x 25‘ roll.
It may be cheaper for someone who use it daily, but for some maker that project that jump from project to another completely different, there's no reason to buy a big roll to use a fraction of it and dump later in the dust.
I don't know how much is on the roll, but you can buy a roll of contact paper at Dollar Tree, for, you guessed it, $1.
I have tried using contact paper on a napkin. It does not adhere to it without bubbles.
Hi Jessica. I just got my Cricut. Have never used it before. Just wondering do you have to use transfer tape? Can you just use the adhesive vinyl without it? I’m a newbie. Please let me know. Thank you!
We do recommend using the transfer tape. It makes things a lot easier. But, it is possible. It will require hand placing and lining all the pieces. Decorative letters... quite a challenge without transfer tape.
Which brand of the white tranfer paper tape do you use? You haven't used that one in this video but I see a lot of others use it on their videos and it looks like it works well. I can't seem to decide which one to buy or from where. Any suggestions?
What type of vinyl do you typically use and what types of surfaces do you typically transfer on to?
My question is can you reuse the transfer tape on the roll if you place it on the spent paper from your vinyl project. I don't want to waste something like transfer tape when it can be used more that once.
That could work! As long as the transfer tape has enough tack to pick up the vinyl, why not!
i was wondering can i use just paper and not vinyl because i want to do diy phone case
You will want to do a test to see if it will work the way you are wanting it to.
my cricut transfer paper stuck to my cricut stencil vinyl and I had to throw everything out. so I will try contact paper next.
Maybe you were using vinyl on vinyl???
I am looking for a transfer tape roll that will fit and work nicely with a wrap buddy! Any suggestions
It would depend on the dimensions that the wrap buddy could handle. Our transfer tape that has the smallest core would be this one, but I'm not too sure if it would fit expressionsvinyl.com/gridlined-clear-transfer-tape-12x30-roll-blue-1-grid/
I bought some glitter vinyl from you guys, but used Cricut transfer tape and did not want to released from the transfer tape once the customer received. That's happened to me twice. What is your suggestion?
Hi Marcia, there are a lot of different things that could be impacting it. What was the customer trying to put the decal on? At times the vinyl doesn't like to stick to certain surfaces. If that is the case then it will not release from the transfer tape. Also, have you tried different types of transfer tape? We do have others that are available and work great.
expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
Thanks for this video, I was wondering why I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. For instance that professional application. I use the one contact paper from the dollar store and I have to rub, rub, rub. I want to the duck brand contact paper before I invest in buying transfer paper.
Contact paper is probably more readily available than transfer tape.
I am assuming that contact paper is another term for the clear book-covering film sold in rolls in stationers.
Hi what kind of paper did u use in printing the letters? Did the ink just stick to the tapes? Did u use cricut? Thank youu 🙏
the letters were cut out of Adhesive vinyl. expressionsvinyl.com/adhesive-vinyl-sheets-rolls/
It would be interesting to see how cheaper store brands of contact paper do. Not all contact paper is the same!
What kind of paper did you use ??before you put the contact and transfer??i mean the white paper that written in con-tact and Transfer Tape??thanks wait for ur reply
Hi, in this video she used Contact Paper as well as Paper Transfer Tape which you can find here - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
Which transfer tape is the one that doesn't have backing on it ..I think I would like that ??
All of the rolls of transfer tape that we sell don't have the backing on them where the sheets will have the backing. Here's a link for them expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
I have major issues with Contact paper giving me air bubbles... however I am new to this and haven't used anything else yet. Does anyone think the Contact paper could be why I do get air bubbles or a lot of them at least?
Hi Christina, that could be part if it. If the contact paper is too tacky it is still holding on to the vinyl a little bit. So it will pull up the parts that are not completely adhered to your project. It can be a combination of that as well as what you are applying it to. If the surface will not allow the vinyl to adhere to it completely it makes it difficult to release the vinyl from the transfer tape. I'd recommend trying out different types of transfer tape to see what works better. We have a lot of success with the paper transfer tape that you can get here - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
I watched this because I had an issue with contact paper. I bought contact paper because I thought it would be the better, cheaper alternative. I still think it is the cheaper alternative, but I had the same issue with it not coming up without some work. I put pressure, and really worked at with three different decals. So now I am afraid of which transfer paper to buy?! I really do not want to buy Cricut. Ugh this is frustrating. Thank you your video!
We do know that Cricut vinyl does need a higher tack transfer tape. Contact paper is a lower tack this could be why your were having a hard time with it.
can i use this tape for heat tranfer for foil or vinyl
Nope, this transfer tape is just for adhesive. It will leave a sticky mess if you heat it up. All of your heat transfer vinyl comes with a built in carrier sheet that acts as the transfer tape.
I went out and brought cricut transfer tape because of this video. I am so disappointed!! I have had to do the same rubbing effect that I had to do with contact paper. WASTED MONEY
Hi Crystal, we are so sorry to hear that. Here is the link to our transfer tape as that is what we were using, not Cricut Transfer Tape. We can't speak to why that would not have worked for you. There could be several different reasons. Here is the link to the type we were using in the video - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
I sometimes have as much trouble releasing the vinyl from both Transfer Paper and Contact Paper. I have been having lots of problems with removable viny. Is it common? I mean, does that kind of vinyl gives more trouble to release?
Yes, since removable vinyl has an adhesive that isn't super strong it will be harder to get it to release. You will want to get a lower tack transfer tape so it's easier to release.
@@Expressionsvinyls thanks for your answer! Any brand or model you recommend?
What kind of paper and ink did you use to print the words?. Thank you.
Those are made of vinyl and she used her machine to cut it.
I have never had a problem with con-tack paper.
Can you use that with HTV and apply heat to it?
The transfer tape we carry is not recommended for use with heat transfer vinyl.
On which kind of paper did you print the letters?
She cut the words from vinyl on a Silhouette cameo machine.
I tried transfer paper from the dollar tree and vinyl but, it didn't transfer. Is there a certain marker I need to write on the vinyl paper with?
Hi Pam,
With transfer tape, you are transferring adhesive vinyl that has been cut out. No marker needed.
What kind of transfer paper do u use
Make and where to buy the transfer paper you use in the video
Hi, the transfer tape that we used in this is is the paper and we sell it here - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/
At her store duh, hence the biased review
Hi can transfer tape be used for heat transfer vinyl? Or does it have to be a different kind of tape? thanks in advance and great videos btw!
Hi Charlene, this transfer tape is only meant for adhesive vinyl and not designed for the heat required in Heat Transfer Vinyl. There are different types of transfer tape that are meant for heat transfer vinyl. If you purchased the htv from us, you will not need it though. All of the heat transfer vinyl that we carry comes with it's own carrier sheet. Hopefully this helps and here is a link to our heat transfer vinyl - expressionsvinyl.com/heat-transfer-vinyl/
Expressions Vinyl yes i always used pvc and never needed any transfer tape as i work in reverse...but i just bought a pu vinyl that works in reverse,so first i need to mask it with tape and then heat press it..thats the only way it will stick as ive tried to press the other side but no luck.
Ive just tried the contact paper with the HTV and it works pretty well...the contact sort of become thinner but doesnt stick to garment. I think I can work in this way...ill just wash the tshirt to make sure all stays in place after washing the garment.
Do I have to print on circuit machine?
Oh can I print it on any printer?
When you say print, do you mean print like with an inkjet printer?
I wanted to know, do u carry any transfer tape for iron on heat transfer paper?
Hi Maria, We do not carry heat transfer paper. All our heat transfer products have a clear carrier sheet already on them that acts as the transfer paper.
Ok, any idea where i can get carrier paper?
Clear carrier sheet
Please say again the product brand of the large roll you do like.
Susan, I do believe it is the paper transfer tape. expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/rolls/
Purchased my first vinyl from them and I was upset I purchased patterned vinyl and didn’t include the adhesive with it. I’m fairly new to all of this and had I know I would’ve needed to purchase separate adhesive for it, I wouldn’t of purchased. Wish they would’ve said or added a note for new customers.
Thanks for the feedback, I will make a note of this. We highly recommend watching our videos before buying new products so you'll know exactly what you need for your next project.
Was the print laser print or just a regular photo
She was using adhesive vinyl in this video
Where did you get the words your using
Hi Ronda, we cut these out on our Silhouette machine. Here is a link to the ones that are available - expressionsvinyl.com/silhouette-america/machines/
Wonder if contact paper will stick to glass or mirrors?
We do not recommend using contact paper to transfer your vinyl. Transfer tape is much easier to use and much higher quality expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
@@Expressionsvinyls not transferring vinyl with it. Maybe as a stencil or for a window cling lol
@@RainorShine1 We are unsure how it would work this way. We would suggest doing a test to see if it works the way you are wanting it to.
You can get a giant roll of contact paper at target for $6.00
Figure out the math. It's easy to do. Both items have the width and length posted.
I find the contact paper more readily available and it woks out cheaper.
I agree!!
18"x20' contact paper at Walmart is $5.64
Cricut Transfer tape is $6.24 for 12"x24" which I would have to spend $64 for same amount. That is not even comparable.
What kind of transfer tape is that?
We have paper, opaque, clear, and gridlined transfer tape. expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
What type of paper printed she used?
Hi Erica, she was using different types of transfer tape and contact paper to transfer the vinyl. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
I have the exact opposite problem it transfers to contact paper fine but wants to stay on contact paper
preclean the surface the vinyl is being applied to, some surfaces do not accept adhesive without extra encouragement.
Does your transfer tape work on glitter vinyl
Hi Eva, what type of glitter vinyl are you referring to? We use it with our Ultra glitter and FX without a problem. Please let us know. We'd be happy to assist.
Expressions Vinyl I have the Cricut glitter vinyl. Still a newbie to all this stuff and I do remember that it called for super stick transfer tape after the fact?? Yet another thing to buy😱
Hi Eva, that is one that is tricky to work with. The Cricut Glitter has more of a texture to it so it does require the strong grip transfer tape that comes with the vinyl. It usually has a small piece at the very inside of the roll. Or you can purchase a separate roll of strong grip. Hopefully this helps.
Expressions Vinyl - I bought sample pack and it wasn't in there. You have been most helpful- more than some of the other Cricut experts 😍
Where did you get such a big roll of transfer tape?
Hi, we carry the transfer tape here - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/ The rolls are great!
Expressions Vinyl, just went to your site but shipping is $39.00...
Hi Danielle, the shipping will vary depending on where you are at and which shipping method you choose. Are you selecting the expedited delivery on this? We'd be happy to assist further.
No, just regular delivery, I am located in Canada, Newfoundland.
Oh, yes, unfortunately there is a little bit higher shipping charge to different areas.
while watching your video i was in the process of using 651 transfer....it never picked my vinyl up...im using a cricut vinyl. im not new at this transferring vinyl either...its hit or miss to be honest.. most of the people i know who use contact paper is because the grocery store and dollar store have it available all that time. some may not have a store readily close to go run out to just get that paper. i im just going to say...its per persons choice. i believe you made a very bias video...your paid to get your product out there....the key wording was "im using OUR transfer tape" well of course its going to grab it great and of course it releases great....you make your money off the products you use...not dollar store contact paper.
Actually, we had the same problems with the transfer tape as you're showing with the contact paper so we figured we might as well buy the cheaper of the two evils.
Transfer tape works great for smooth surfaces but not when applying vinyl stencils on things like wood. Sure it picks it up great but does not transfer well because the tape sticks to the vinyl more than the vinyl sticks to the wood. Contact paper works better and it DOES pick up the vinyl just fine. I used the same piece of contact paper for several transfers with no issues. These videos are helpful but this one was obviously bias and, in my opinion, flat out wrong.
I got the dollar store paper but it’s leaving sticky residue on my products
Try our transfer tape, it comes in sheets as well :) expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
Contact paper is way cheaper where i live. I basically would have to order everything from aboard if i wanna do anything with vinyls, so i’ts deffiniteky cheaper
Yep, I made my first ever project tonight and the dollar store contact paper made me want to scream ugh. I need to get the real stuff so I don't make this harder than it seems. Plus it left sticky residue on my wood round in spots.
Many of us have been through something similar. You are going to love transfer tape!
Omg my contact paper was horrible at transfer
The issue w/ vinyl sticking to contact paper, I’ve had exact same prob w/ transfer tape, never tried contact paper so couldn’t possibly be biased but I’m not exaggerating at all, one time it took me 20min, 20 freakin min😳 to get it to stick, I was so beyond angry
We are sorry that the transfer tape that you were using was so hard to work with. Please contact Customer Service if it was our transfer tape that you were have issues with. expressionsvinyl.com/contact-us/
I bought contact paper and it did me this same way, I wanted a cheaper way. It did work in the end but ai had to run the S*it out of it
I use contact paper all the time for my transfer tape.. Duck brand contact paper is the best transfer tape..I refuse to spend twice the amount of money for the "brand name" when I can get the same results with Duck brand
I have a hard time using the transfer tape from Cricut brand 😢
Try our transfer tape! expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
This was unfortunately biased. I like the transfer tape but wish each option was given fair attempts. Bummer. :/
Contact paper is 1 dollar at the dollar tree for a huge roll,transfer tape is 20 bucks for an even smaller roll
I don't think you have factored in application. Transfer tape is high tack, and will often adhere to the vinyl sooooo good, that it is hard to get the vinyl to release to the surface that you are applying it to. For example, transfer tape will not allow any transfer to any semi-soft surface. It has its applications, but transfer tape is not good for all vinyl applications. I know this is an old video, but still.
Thank you, J! Transfer tape is available in different tacks. A lighter tack transfer tape can useful when applying vinyl to some surfaces. We carry a medium tack transfer tape that works well for many surfaces.
Obviously this is not a neutral review....her company sells transfer tape duh......so shes going to promote transfer tape ....which is more costly than contact paper if u base it on same size roll....shes comparing a bulk roll vs small roll of contact paper....we arent all stupid lady
