Toyo is a Singapore brand that has been around since 1994.
They're a staple in all school shops, neighbourhood stationery stores and even supermarkets.
My favourite glue tape is actually the Tombow Pit Air series but supply of the refills can be a bit spotty so I picked up the dotdot glue tape during a time when I was worried I would run out of glue tape.
It's 6mm wide and there's 6m of product in a clear tinted plastic body, which makes it easy to see when you've run out.
It's a bit smaller and lighter than the tombow which makes it more portable.
Both glue tapes have a roller mechanism, I found the Toyo felt lighter and a bit flimsy and once you got the hang of it, it was easy to use. Unfortunately, unlike the Tombow, the only indicator that you're using it the right way up is a little bit of grip stopper on one side, so I ended up trying to use the wrong side quite often.
The most important test, how is the adhesiveness.
I adhered 2 pieces of paper and then removed them.
The Toyo was easier to remove and did not remove too much product from the adhered piece.
So at the end of the day, the Tombow is still the better glue tape, however, the Toyo is a very budget friendly version so if you're a power user, definitely go with the Toyo.
