Invisible Lift Stickers
Invisible lift stickers, also known as double-sided tape for lifting, are adhesive strips designed to temporarily lift and hold fabric during alterations, sewing, or pattern making. They provide a non-permanent bonding solution, eliminating the need for pins and reducing fabric damage.
Material:
Typically constructed from a clear acrylic adhesive on a thin, often paper or plastic backing. The adhesive is formulated to be strong enough to hold fabric layers together during manipulation but weak enough to release cleanly without leaving residue on most fabrics. Some varieties utilize silicone adhesives for more delicate materials.
Purpose:
- Temporary Fabric Bonding: The primary function is to hold fabric pieces in place before, during, and after sewing, allowing for accurate alignment and construction.
- Alterations: Useful for hemming, adjusting garment fit, and visualizing changes before making permanent stitches.
- Pattern Making: Facilitate the draping and pinning of patterns onto fabric.
- Quilting & Appliqué: Assist in holding layers together for precise stitching and design placement.
Function:
The adhesive bonds the fabric layers, providing a secure hold. The clear nature of the tape allows for visibility of the fabric beneath, aiding in accurate positioning. The controlled tack ensures easy removal without tearing or distorting the fabric.
Usage Scenarios:
- Garment Construction: Holding collars, cuffs, plackets, and other garment components in place.
- Hemming Pants/Skirts: Quickly and easily try on and adjust hem lengths.
- Dressmaking: Securing fabric pieces for fitting and adjustments.
- Craft Projects: Ideal for appliqué, quilting, and other fabric-based crafts.
- Costume Design: Temporarily attaching fabric elements for fittings and design visualization.
Common Types:
- Single-Sided Tape: A basic option, offering a temporary hold for lighter fabrics.
- Double-Sided Tape: Provides a stronger bond for more substantial fabrics and more complex alterations.
- Wash-Away Tape: Designed to dissolve in water, making it suitable for applications where the tape needs to be completely removed after sewing.
- Pre-Cut Strips: Conveniently pre-cut lengths for specific applications like hems or collars.
- Roll Form: Available in rolls of varying widths for customized lengths and applications.
- Acid-Free Tape: Important for archival projects or delicate fabrics prone to discoloration.
Invisible lift stickers can be classified under several HS codes based on their material and application. Here's a breakdown of potential classifications:
- 3919.10.20.55: This HS code covers self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls, specifically those in rolls of a width not exceeding 20 cm. The total tax rate is 60.8%, comprising a 5.8% base tariff, a 25.0% additional tariff, and a 30.0% additional tariff applicable after April 2, 2025. This is applicable if the stickers are made of plastic and supplied in rolls less than 20cm wide.
- 3919.90.50.60: This HS code also covers self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls, but categorized as 'Other'. The total tax rate is 60.8%, with a 5.8% base tariff, a 25.0% additional tariff, and a 30.0% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. This applies if the stickers are plastic-based and not specifically in rolls under 20cm wide.
- 9606.30.80: This HS code covers button molds and other parts of buttons; button blanks, specifically 'Other'. The total tax rate is 61.0%, consisting of a 6.0% base tariff, a 25.0% additional tariff, and a 30.0% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. This may be applicable if the stickers are used as part of a button or fastening system.
Regarding HS code 3919.10.20.55 and 3919.90.50.60, it's important to determine the material composition of the stickers (specifically if they are plastic-based) to ensure correct classification.
