Material selection
Choose a thinner grade for firm flat surfaces and a thicker foam grade when the joint needs greater conformability or vibration isolation.
DRAWING-BASED CUSTOM PARTS
Custom Double-Sided VHB Foam Tape Parts
Precision die-cut acrylic foam tape parts for clean, high-bond mounting of trims, panels and dissimilar materials.
Custom double-sided acrylic foam tape shapes that replace screws and liquid adhesive in permanent bonding assemblies.
Engineered Custom Double-Sided VHB Foam Tape Parts
Acrylic foam tape is converted into exact mounting patterns with holes, split liners and complex outlines. Its viscoelastic core conforms to minor surface irregularities while the adhesive creates a durable bond over a broad area.
Material approach
Acrylic foam distributes stress across the bonded area and can bond many coated, painted and high-surface-energy substrates.
Key features
- High-strength acrylic bonding
- die-cut geometry
- vibration damping
- gap conformability
- liner tabs for automated or manual application.

Engineering Guide
Practical points to include when selecting foam and preparing a drawing for review.
Geometry and thickness
Maximize bonded area and design against peel; use rounded corners and maintain a continuous load path where possible.
Assembly performance
Validate with actual substrates, coatings and service temperature because surface energy and joint geometry drive bond performance.
Production route
Bond strength develops over time; substrate cleaning, pressure and dwell time are critical to a reliable joint.
Applications / Where It Fits
Custom double-sided acrylic foam tape shapes that replace screws and liquid adhesive in permanent bonding assemblies. The final specification is established around the drawing and operating requirements.
When This Part May Not Be the Best Choice
Unprepared low-surface-energy plastics, joints with constant peel loading, or assemblies that require easy removal and reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does VHB tape replace screws?
In a properly designed and validated bond, acrylic foam tape can replace many screws, rivets and liquid adhesives.
How should the surface be prepared?
Remove oils and dust, then follow the selected tape supplier preparation guidance; primers may be used for difficult substrates.
Can the tape be supplied with pull tabs?
Yes. Extended liners, split liners and finger lifts can be die cut to simplify installation.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Many acrylic foam grades are designed for weather and UV exposure, subject to the selected series and joint design.
What should a drawing include for custom double-sided vhb foam tape parts?
Include mating substrates, bond area, service temperature, peel exposure and liner configuration.
Can custom double-sided vhb foam tape parts be supplied for production assembly?
Yes. Bond strength develops over time; substrate cleaning, pressure and dwell time are critical to a reliable joint. Delivery format, liner configuration and packaging are specified for the assembly workflow.
How is the right custom double-sided vhb foam tape parts construction selected?
Choose a thinner grade for firm flat surfaces and a thicker foam grade when the joint needs greater conformability or vibration isolation. The drawing and operating conditions establish the final construction.
