I am working on some banners and I’ve run out of banner tape. If I can’t get it in time is carpet tape a good replacement or any other suggestions? I am doing 16’ banners and it is spliced in the middle. I put 2 strips of banner tape at the splice to join them. Should I be doing anything else? Thanks for helping.

I have no good ideas but carpet tape isn't very strong at all and it's a removable tape. I can't imagine it working for that splice.

I would not splice this. The weight will probably cause it to fail. Just outsource it.

Why splice it at all?
Robot or human?

it appears a 60 inch roll is $5 cheaper at walmart or walmart marketplace compared to amazon
I am printing two, the first one is finished and ran out of tape. I made sure I taped it well and also grommetted the splice. There will be grommets every two feet as that was my worry. It’s on the side of a trailer for a parade.
Thanks I will try to print the second banner all as one as it could be adjusted if necessary. I never print over 8’ as it can go off track.
Gorilla tape is a great suggestion too.
Thanks everyone!

i would find a heavy duty double sided tape not carpet tape. Of course I would just outsource these anyway. You can find plenty of suppliers that will print large banners that have grommets and heat sealed seams for $1/sqft. Not worth the time to print in house and tape them. I only print smaller banners in house and let my supplier print everything else.
