Abstract: A masking paper is wound in a roll form and includes a relatively thin synthetic resin film folded in a plurality of parallel pleats and a relatively thick tape disposed along a longitudinal margin of the film and having a pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed on the opposite sides thereof. An apparatus for applying and dispensing the masking paper includes a housing accommodating the masking paper in a roll form, a group of rolls for taking the masking paper out of the housing and a cutter blade for cutting the masking paper. The cutter blade is reciprocated back and forth across the masking paper, and is retracted from the masking paper during its movement from a starting position.
