  • Publication number: 20170101554
    Abstract: To provide a method of producing a semi-scored double-sided tape product at lower costs and with a lower defect rate. A bonded composite tape 100 is fed from a first feeder reel 310 to a first tape-up reel 320. The bonded composite tape 100 includes a tape for production use and a double-adhesive laminate of a double-sided tape type. A die cut roll 340 is used for cutting only the double-adhesive laminate of the bonded composite tape 100 into a plurality of rectangular pieces as adhesive tape segments each having an appropriate length. On the other hand, a release tape 200 is fed from a second feeder reel 410 to a second take-up reel 420. The release tape 200 comes into contact with a part of the bonded composite tape 100 that is located downstream the die cut roll 340. The adhesive tape segments are then adhered to the release tape 200.
