Made for packing perfectionists, Center Tape has a transparent middle that allows people to perfectly align the duct tape to the opening of the box that is being sealed. A simple tweak to an everyday, essential product, Center Tape not only ensures that people place their tape as nicely as possible, it also eliminates unnecessary waste since they won't have to put layers of tape on to make up for their poor placement in the beginning.
Designed by Hwang Youn Ha and Han Seung Bum, Center Tape is such a brilliant idea, it was awarded a Red Dot Design Concept award in 2011. On a more aesthetic level, Center Tape's use of clean lines will make packed boxes less of an eyesore.
