Matte white washi tape that covers, contrasts, corrects. Semi-translucent on dark surfaces, bright on light. The clean slate in tape form.
Why This Exists
White washi tape serves a different purpose than coloured tape—it's not about adding decoration, it's about creating clean contrast or covering what's underneath. MT's Matte White from the Basic range delivers that crisp, bright finish without the gloss that makes cheaper white tapes look plasticky.
The matte texture adds sophistication to monotone applications, though it's worth noting that darker surfaces may show through slightly—this is semi-translucent white rather than fully opaque coverage. That quality makes it perfect for layering, labelling on light surfaces, or creating subtle contrast rather than stark blocking.
What Makes It Good
Matte finish — non-reflective surface with bright white coverage
Semi-translucent — provides coverage on light surfaces, shows through on very dark backgrounds
Repositionable adhesive — low-tack formula sticks well but removes cleanly
Hand-tearable — tears cleanly without scissors
Writeable surface — works with permanent markers and ballpoint pens
Waterproof and heatproof — suitable for various applications including packaging
Who This Is For
Anyone who needs white tape that looks intentional rather than industrial. Perfect for masking watercolour paintings without tearing paper, creating clean labels on jars and bins, wedding décor and favours where white is the palette, gift wrapping that needs crisp contrast, or marking remote controls and items to make them easier to spot. The repositionable quality means you can adjust placement without starting over.

Note: This is white tape that knows its job—providing clean contrast and removable coverage without the aggressive adhesive of electrical tape or the cheap look of office supplies. Best on light to medium surfaces where you want brightness rather than total opacity.
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.
