Abstract

A pull tab is formed at a separable edge of each of a plurality of individually separable sheets of outwardly faced adhesive tape wound into a roll by a non-adhesive portion carried on the adhesive layer of the tape to facilitate gripping and removal of an outermost sheet from the tape roll to expose an underlying sheet. The separable edges extend at least partially through the tape roll dividing the tape into a plurality of separable sheets and across substantially all of the lateral extent of the roll. The separable edge can be two spaced separable edges disposed in registry with each non-adhesive portion to define opposite leading edges.
