Although duct tape became an essential part of the handyman's toolkit it suffered from lateral adhesive ooze which caused stored rolls of tape to stick to each other. In the 1970s the manufacturer Manco (who use the trade name "Duck Tape") intoduced shrink-wrapped rolls.

Generally duct tape is composed of three layers. A top layer of resilient plastic (vinyl or polyethylene), a bottom layer of rubber-based adhesive and a middle layer of fabric mesh. The tape was formerly manufactured by pressing these three layers together but some manufacturers have developed a single-step process.
