Pictured: Model 2300 Drafting Tape
ALVIN premium adhesive products are an essential tool for architects, artists, and drafters alike. The 2300 series drafting tape features a smooth, low tack surface that allows T-squares and triangles to glide over drawings without hanging up. These drafting tapes will leave no stain, sticky residue, or abraded surface when removed. ALVIN's classic drafting dots are perfect for tacking down the corners of tracing paper without the risk of damaging important documents. The Artist's Tape line is designed to be easy to use and applicable for countless art applications. To name a few, this pressure-sensitive tape is ideal for masking errors and making corrections in either ink or pencil. Other applications include use with photographic negatives, drafting paper, watercolor, canvas, and design boards. All of ALVIN's Artist's Tape is bright white and PH neutral (Acid-Free). If you are looking for a temporary mounting adhesive, ALVIN's double-sided tapes are the perfect tool. The 2400 series tape line features two adhesive surfaces that hold firmly to any smooth surface and can release at a touch. This product is ideal for framing pictures or mounting repro films where lack of space precludes using ordinary adhesive tapes. Certain ALVIN adhesives are available in Multi-Pack displays. Please see the chart below for more information.

I like the little dots for holding down the paper. It was a little tricky to figure out how the box dispensed the dots, but once I figured it out, it worked fine until I used half the box. I can reuse the dots if I am careful.

I was looking for removable dots that could be marked. Mostly removable (they are pretty sticky) but they have the ALVIN logo on each dot -- so, they really arent good for being marked -- this was not obvious in the product picture -- if this does not bother you, it is probably a pretty good dot for the price.Does it hold paper in place? yes. But, ALVIN has limited the broad utility of a drafting dot to this single function :/

The item was exactly as shown, except that it said it was a 2 pack & only 1 was delivered. Very disappointed.

Perfect for drafting. They are quick and simple to use for holding your paper in place. I have used these and drafting tape and I prefer these for the ease of use.

Less sticky than masking tape...not sticky enough to really be a quality product

If you hold the box as instructed, the dots pop up already pealed off the supporting strip. I saw an online video demonstrating. The box even has a drawing of a thumb to help find the right spot. Place your thumb over the drawing and press down. Pull the tape and voila! Dot pops up already separated from the backing.Besides the clever dispenser box, I've been delighted with the dots. They hold well and yet, pull up cleanly when I'm done.

Works well. Rips paper sometimes or if not taken off carefully

I use these especially when drafting new patterns, or tracing older, worn out patterns. They hold the pattern in place so it won't slide around when trying to trace. I also secure the tracing paper overlay with these as well. Just be sure to carefully peel the dot from the paper after using it. I re-use dots a few times, before tossing them. I actually discovered these when working as an office manager for a Civil Engineering firm. The Engineers and/or drafting crew would only use ALVIN.

Best product I've found for this. Tape tends to get stuck under parallell bars, but these dots work perfectly. Easy to remove, doesn't stick to vellum or tracing paper (doesn't like bristol board too much, but still works fine). The dispensing mechanism built into the box continues to amaze anybody who sees it, and it is pretty cool, I gotta admit.
