Abstract

An adhesive tape for holding paper articles such as photographs and notecards edgewise on a surface. Opposing, flexible channel members are formed integral with and extend upwards from the top surface of the tape body to define a longitudinal channel, which receives and pinches the edges of the flat articles, holding the paper article on its edge. An underlying, peel-away sticker exposes an adhesive allowing the tape to be applied to a surface, whereby the flat article is situated perpendicular to the surface.
