DUCK TAPE® AROUND THE WORLD CONTEST

HAVE DUCK TAPE®, WILL TRAVEL

Have you ever spent months planning a vacation, down to every last detail, only to have it foiled by a hole in your luggage or a tear in your radiator hose? Perhaps you've invested countless hours into a business presentation that, at the last minute, you were embarrassed to give because you ripped the hem in the only business pants you packed. Unfortunately, even well-seasoned travelers have had these experiences.

Travelers can quickly fix these frustrating situations and be prepared for other unexpected circumstances by including one simple item on their packing lists -- duct tape. For years, duct tape has been known as the ultimate repair tool at home and on the job. Now, no one should board a plane or leave on a road trip without Duck Tape as a travel tool.

Some suggested travel uses of Duck brand duct tape include:

  • Use X-Factor Duck Tape on luggage to ensure easy identification at baggage claim.
  • If you are traveling with others, mark each person's bag with a different color of X-Factor Duck Tape. This will make identification that much easier.
  • Use Duck Tape to hide valuables (tape under hotel tables, chairs, but don't forget).
  • Use as a temporary clothesline in the hotel room.
  • Tape together snorkeling supplies for each traveler.
  • Tape tops of shampoo bottles and other bottled items to prevent spills.
  • Use Duck Tape and Duck® brand Bubble Wrap® to keep breakables, like souvenirs, safe from damage.
  • Reinforce luggage in worn areas.
  • Tape items, such as shoes, to inside sides of luggage to keep from moving around.
  • Tape plastic bags shut that contain wet bathing suits, etc.
  • Seal coolers to prevent leakage from melting ice.
  • Tape window curtains together to keep sun out of hotel room.
  • Temporarily repair tears and hems in clothes.
  • Patch holes in rafts.
  • Remove hair and lint easily from clothing.
  • Wrap around a flashlight to keep for any emergencies.
  • Keep extra buttons, safety pins, thread and needles secured onto a piece of tape for ease of location.
  • Secure and control cords of hair dryers/curling irons.
  • Mark your beach umbrella with X-Factor Duck tape for ease of spotting your location from far away.
  • Keep shells inside of buckets, or tape shells together for travel.
  • Bundle loose items together.
