The original sticky tape. Biodegradable cellulose film, tears by hand, New Zealand's number one tape.
Why This Exists
Sellotape has been the household name for sticky tape since 1937, when Colin Kininmonth and George Gray invented it in West London. The name comes from "Cellophane" with the C changed to S so it could be trademarked. During World War II, it was used to seal ammunition boxes and protect windowpanes from bomb damage. Today, it's the leading tape brand in the UK and New Zealand's number one selling stationery tape.
The 1100 is made from cellulose film — a wood-based, biodegradable material — coated with a rubber adhesive. It's strong enough for everyday sealing, joining, and mending tasks, but tears cleanly by hand when you need it. Clear, static-free, and environmentally friendlier than plastic film tapes. A brand so iconic it has its own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.
What Makes It Good
Biodegradable cellulose film — wood-based, decomposes naturally, environmentally friendlier than plastic
Tears by hand — no scissors needed, clean tear every time
Clear film — won't obscure graphics or text
Static-free — doesn't curl or twist in use
Rubber adhesive — strong bond for light to medium-duty applications
Moisture-resistant — reliable performance in normal conditions
33m length — generous roll for extended use
Who This Is For
Perfect for home, office, or school use. Ideal for wrapping gifts, sealing envelopes, joining paper, securing documents, or any everyday taping task.

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.
