Sellotape’s® story is woven with resourcefulness, thoughtfulness and a hint of nostalgia.Â
Â
An Iconic roll of tape. A household classic. Quintessentially British.
West London, 1937. Sellotape®, the stickiest and thickest tape in the market, was invented by Colin Kininmonth and George Gray.
Widely adopted and used during World War II to seal ammunition boxes and help protect windowpanes to minimise bomb damage, the following decades saw heavy investment in the production of Sellotape® and diversification of its product range.
After being re-launched in 2010 by Henkel, Sellotape® continues to be the nation’s favourite tape brand.
It is now synonymous with everyday life from past to present, from joining in the war effort in the 1940s to helping millions of presents keep their secrets safely hidden today. Sellotape® continues to be the tape market leader and even has its very own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Plastic-free wrapping just got easier! Â
