About this asset

This 2K PBR transparent decal set provides realistic tan packaging tape strips for adding industrial wear to 3D surfaces. This asset consists of a collection of five adhesive packaging tape strips, captured in a neutral tan colour with varied physical states. The set includes pieces with clean edges, subtle folds, and crumpled textures, accurately simulating the behaviour of standard carton sealing tape. Each strip is provided as a 2K resolution texture atlas, accompanied by essential PBR maps including albedo, displacement, normal, roughness, and a dedicated opacity map. The inclusion of a separate opacity channel allows for precise layering over existing materials without interfering with the base surface properties or underlying texture mapping.

The download is a 12.2 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal, roughness, displacement and opacity maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

To integrate this asset, apply the texture atlas to a simple plane or polygon mesh positioned slightly above the target surface to avoid Z-fighting. Use the provided opacity map in the alpha or transparency slot of your shader to isolate the tape strips. Adjust the displacement and normal maps to enhance the visual depth of the folds and creases, ensuring the roughness map is mapped to control surface specularity for a realistic plastic finish.

Ideal for architectural visualisations requiring high-fidelity industrial or logistics environments, this tape decal enhances the realism of cardboard boxes, shipping crates, and warehouse shelving units. It is particularly effective in scenes depicting construction sites, moving day scenarios, or busy mailrooms where subtle signs of human activity and packaging are necessary. Pair these decals with realistic cardboard textures to create convincing shipping containers or use them to add a layer of gritty, authentic detail to industrial workshop interior renders.
