The tape has a high strength in the machine direction and does not break during production and processing processes. In addition, the tape has a nonwoven fabric substrate and thereby excels also in punching quality. The tape is therefore particularly useful as a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape for fixing a wiring circuit board.
