Sellotape is a European brand of transparent, cellulose-based, pressure sensitive adhesive tape, and is the leading brand of clear, pressure sensitive tape in the United Kingdom. Sellotape is generally used for joining, sealing, attaching and mending. The term has become a genericised trademark in Britain, and is used much in the same way that cellophane and scotch tape came to be used in America, referring to any brand of clear adhesive tape.
