A roll of tape for use in an automatic tape gun (10) that includes an adhesi ve layer (14) having a liner-side surface and an exposed-side surface and a release-liner (16) adhering to the liner-side surface of the adhesive layer (14). The adhesive-layer (14) thickness and the release-liner (16) are selected such that the ratio of tape length to roll diameter on a standard 1.375 in. roll core, where the tape roll has a standard outer diameter of approximately 3.1875 in., is substantially greater than that about 400:1, whereby tape of extended length is usable on standard tape guns (10) to minimize tape-roll changeovers. Version of tape having length to roll diamet er ratios greater than about 500:1 are also disclosed along with length to roll diameter ratios greater than 800:1 for tape rolls having a standard outer diameter of approximately 4.3125 inches. |
