Description

Sellotape is the UK’s leading adhesive tape brand, invented in 1937 by Colin Kininmonth and George Gray in Acton West London by coating Cellophane film with natural rubber resin, the name derived from Cellophane with the C changed to S to allow trademarking. Widely used during World War Two to seal ammunition boxes and protect windowpanes from bomb damage, Sellotape entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 1980 and holds a registered trademark in 96 countries worldwide. Acquired by Henkel Consumer Adhesives in 2002, the same parent company as Pritt Stick researched immediately prior, Sellotape offers Original Golden, Super Clear, Double-Sided, Zero Plastic plant-based tape, Sticky Tack and more across a comprehensive tape and fixing range. Products are consistent eBay UK and Amazon UK bestsellers with 98 percent spontaneous UK consumer awareness and strong seasonal gift-wrapping demand.

Professional Notes for FBA Sellers
✅ DIRECT SISTER BRAND TO PRITT STICK — Both
Sellotape and Pritt Stick are owned by
Henkel Ltd Hemel Hempstead, share the same
@fixersandmakers social media accounts, and
were researched consecutively — one Henkel
UK trade relationship could supply BOTH
brands simultaneously

✅ "Sellotape" being in the Oxford English
Dictionary as a genericised trademark gives
extraordinary brand recognition — similar
iconic status to Hoover, Biro, and Blu
Tack (Bostik) in British consumer culture

✅ Always request authorization letter LOA
and confirm invoices show your registered
business name for Amazon compliance

✅ Strong seasonal Q4 demand peak — Sellotape's
own How-To guides specifically target
Christmas present wrapping, making this
one of the most reliably seasonally
predictable brands in this entire directory

✅ Zero Plastic plant-based tape gives genuine
sustainability innovation for Amazon UK
listings targeting eco-conscious consumers
seeking plastic-free alternatives

✅ 10+ distinct product lines give substantial
ASIN variety from one Henkel relationship,
complementing the Pritt Stick range
