Japan is a true paradise for stationery lovers, offering an overwhelming variety of pens, erasers, and post-its. Among the most innovative products to hit the market is the Bande Masking Roll Sticker. Unlike traditional washi tape, Bande allows you to peel off individual, pre-cut shapes one by one to create your own unique artwork!
The “Peel-Off” Innovation
Bande has revolutionized the masking tape world. Each roll functions like a stack of stickers; you can layer individual flower petals, leaves, or characters to “build” a custom design. This makes them perfect for scrapbooking, decorating planners, or even adding a personal touch to letters.
