This product adopts a highly transparent styrene resin in the body, and adopts vivid color by the tape width by the internal mechanism part and “thumb mark”. Green tape width 4.2 mm = Photo right, red is 5 mm = photo, Blue is 6 mm = left = photo. The remaining tape level is also easier to see.
The body is an ergonomic shape that is inflated in the hand. A curved body without a straight line or plane increases the contact area of the hand and stabilizes the tape. Because the paper and the body are held at the optimum angle, the Correction Tape is applied to the sheet of tape to improve the cutting of the tapes. The thumb mark, which is the point of holding, is set in vivid colors to induce smooth use. In our product monitor, 72% of people were able to have a natural and correct grip without explanation ( Tombow Pencil Examination/Adult 50 people). Even those who do not like the use of the Correction Tape can fix it neatly.
The shape of this product was jointly developed with Prof. Katsuyuki Shibata (Department of Health Sciences, health sciences and occupational Therapy), Kanazawa University, specializing in ergonomics. The purpose of the project is to develop a Correction Tape that anyone can use for optimal holding and angle. Released the first installment in 2013, it will be released to renew the design to clear body as it is this shape.
