Correction tape is an alternative to correction fluid used to correct mistakes during typing, or, in some forms, handwriting. One side of the tape, which is placed against the error, is coated in a white, opaque masking material. Pressure applied to the other side of the tape transfers this material to the paper.
Correction tape in its current form was invented by Japanese stationery product manufacturer Seed in 1989 and quickly spread throughout the world.
