Abstract
An adhesive tape product comprises a length of adhesive tape mounted on a core with a reduced tendency to telescope. A layer of compressible foam is provided between the core and the body of tape wound on the core. Alternatively, the core is fabricated to have a slight bulge in its center giving the core a barrel shape thereby reducing the tendency for the body of tape wound upon the core to telescope.
