How do they roll up a roll of Scotch tape?

"They" don't roll up tape at all. Instead, tape is actually manufactured on the roll. Cellophane is rolled onto a giant roll and then slowly unraveled and fed through a press that adds adhesive to one side. Finally, it is fed through another machine that cuts the material into different sizes. See the following site: http://www.wisegeek.com/how-do-they-get-tape-on-a-roll.htm Apr 22 11, 8:06 AM

If the site is to be believed, it says the tape is first rolled, then unrolled and glued, then rolled again. Far from 'don't roll at all'! Apr 23 11, 3:31 PM
