How FrogTape Works - And Why It Comes In A Plastic Case

Have you ever wondered why FrogTape brand painters tape comes in a plastic case? Improovy's Head of Production shares how @frogtape works and answers the question why it comes in a plastic case. As a bonus, Mike also shares #frogtape in action with a #tapepull after using it to make crisp lines on rounded drywall corners and knockdown texture.

Sorry for the smoke detector beeping in the background, the home lost electricity before the crew arrived to paint and the batteries died in the smoke detectors.

Came here looking for what else to do with that case- It does seem like overkill or a bit of a waste to just toss it. BTW, I've never seen lines that sharp on textured walls. That looks great!

There you are using a product for the specific purpose it was engineered to do. ❤❤
Love to get your feedback on the Orange Frogtape for protecting baseboards and trim.

Then why do they sell it in multi-packs that DON'T have the plastic case? Also, another pro painter YT'er says the cases are not airtight, so that would negate the whole dried-out coating theory. The Frogtape site does explain the gel coating, but the FAQs section says only this about the case:

"We like to think of masking tape as a tool. You make your tools last longer by taking care of them, storing them properly, and keeping them clean. The canister FrogTape comes in keeps it from being damaged (such as the edges being nicked), and keeps dirt and debris off the tape. You can use an empty canister for storage of nuts and bolts, screws, or nails. It is also recyclable."
