Solid matte black washi tape that doesn't mess around. Opaque coverage, low-tack adhesive, repositionable. The neutral that does the work.
Why This Exists
When MT launched washi tape in 2007, they understood that solid colours needed to be as considered as their patterned designs. Matte Black from the Basic range isn't decorative tape trying to be functional—it's a genuine design tool that happens to be repositionable.
The matte finish gives proper opacity without sheen, making this equally useful for graphic work, gift wrapping that needs contrast, or wall decoration where you want clean lines without gloss. Unlike glossy black tapes that look cheap or translucent tapes that show what's underneath, this delivers solid, weighty coverage that reads as intentional.
What Makes It Good
True matte finish — non-reflective surface with solid, opaque coverage
Stronger adhesion — stickier than typical washi tape while remaining repositionable
Hand-tearable — tears cleanly without scissors, no ragged edges
Writeable surface — works with permanent markers and ballpoint pens for labelling
Wall-safe adhesive — strong enough for poster framing, gentle enough for paint
Waterproof and heatproof — durable for various applications
Who This Is For
Anyone who needs black tape that looks deliberate rather than makeshift. Perfect for creating graphic borders on walls without damaging paint, framing posters or photos with clean lines, adding contrast to journals and planners, labelling without bland office tape, or gift wrapping where you want sophistication over cuteness. The stronger adhesive makes this particularly good for temporary wall applications.

Note: This is the black tape that graphic designers and artists actually use—solid enough to frame posters on walls, sophisticated enough for professional projects, and genuinely removable without taking paint with it. It's washi tape that earns its place in the toolkit rather than the craft drawer.
Beautiful and functional products. Have ordered twice and will again soon.

Amazing!!!!! there is nothing like this store in Hamilton or even Auckland, speciality stationery and so much of it is Japanese, my fav! Very cute store. Penco, Midori, Supreme, Moleskine, etc. inside an old fashioned arcade, easy enough to find.

Tom stocks some of the best quality and designed stationary products you can find in New Zealand. His customer service is also top draw and excellent. I had a few issues with a pen I had bought, Tom offered some tips to help work through and after that didn’t work he offered some store credit to try something else. I would highly recommend and will be making sure to buy as much of my stationary products as possible from SuperKiosk in the future! Keep up the great work Tom!

Such a great find! Love their range - quality stationery you don’t see everywhere. Service was awesome—ordered at night, shipped the next morning, and arrived the day after. Will definitely shop here again.
If it skips, scratches, or feels like background utility, we don't stock it. Every tool in this kiosk has earned its place on our desks before it reached yours.
