Plural
correction tapes
1
a thin strip of white tape used to cover mistakes made when writing or typing
Correction tape is a tool used to cover mistakes made with ink or pen on paper. It consists of a roll of tape that has a white, opaque coating on one side, which can be applied directly over errors. The tape is dispensed from a small, hand-held dispenser, allowing users to easily cover mistakes with a smooth, dry layer. After applying the tape, the corrected area can be written on immediately. Correction tape is often preferred over correction fluid as it provides a quick, mess-free way to fix errors without waiting for the surface to dry.
