Emitever Picture Hanging Strips (20 pairs) 50mm x 100mm heavy duty hook and loop double-sided tape, black
Product description
If you’re tired of drilling holes for every photo change, Emitever’s picture hanging strips are built for a simpler approach: stick, hang, and remove without the usual nail drama. They’re self-adhesive hook and loop mounting strips, supplied as 20 pairs (40 pieces), so you can mount multiple pieces around the home or swap displays more often than you’d normally want to.
That said, these strips aren’t magic for every wall or surface type. On paper, they sound ideal for smooth, dry materials, and the adhesive spec suggests serious holding power for indoor jobs. The real question is whether your surfaces match what the tape is meant to work with.
What these strips are for (and what “no damage” really means)
These are heavy duty double-sided sticky strips designed to replace nails and liquid adhesives for hanging photos, artwork and decorations. The “hook and loop” part matters because it allows the hanging section to grip onto the matching side on the item you mount. In practical terms, it’s a flexible mounting method: you stick the tape to the wall-side material, attach the corresponding hook/loop piece to the frame/backing, then secure the two together.
A common everyday use is creating a photo gallery without committing to permanent fixings: you can position everything carefully, press the strips in place, and then hang the frames once you’re happy with the layout. For seasonal displays (like Christmas photos or wall ornaments), being able to avoid drilling is often the difference between “I’ll do it” and “I’ll leave it for next year”.
Key features and the adhesive strength you can expect
The standout element here is the adhesive on both sides. Emitever describes it as heavy duty dual-sided adhesive with a strong hold on a range of surfaces, including wood, plastic, metal and fabric (with the big caveat that surface suitability depends on being smooth and dry for most uses).
Acrylic foam backing is used for the hanging strip, and it’s specified as able to withstand temperatures from 10°C to 40°C. It’s also described as having excellent water resistance, which is useful for rooms where humidity is a regular thing.
For the “how much weight” question: the strips are stated to hold up to 7KG per 50mm x 100mm, and Emitever notes the adhesive reaches maximum strength after 72 hours. That’s an important nuance—if you rush the hanging stage, you may not get the full grip the tape is capable of.
Where it shines day to day
Where these Emitever picture hanging strips look most compelling is in situations where you want secure fixing without puncturing the wall:
- Picture frames, artwork and other display items where you’d rather not drill
- Occasions where you expect to re-arrange (moving pieces around as your home evolves)
- Kitchens and bathrooms where water resistance could be helpful, assuming the mounting surface is compatible
- Smooth surfaces such as glass, marble, ceramics, wood, metal, tiles, plastics and many fabrics
Also, because you’re not punching holes, the installation process is usually faster than traditional fixings. On a clean, smooth surface, it’s the sort of “measure, press, wait, hang” routine that can be done in an afternoon rather than turning into a weekend project.
The part to watch: surface compatibility and limitations
Here’s the limitation that can matter more than the tape’s headline strength: these strips are not intended for every surface. Emitever specifically says they cannot be used on leather, PU, brick walls, blocks, concrete, plush fabrics, concrete walls and painted walls and uneven surfaces.
So while the adhesive may sound versatile, it’s really a good match when your wall and mounting area are smooth, and ideally dry. If you’re working with textured paint, rough plaster, or a porous surface, you may find the hold isn’t as reliable.
Another practical point: adhesive performance is tied to time. Since maximum strength is reached after 72 hours, it may not be the best choice if you need the item up instantly.
Pros and cons for a sensible buying decision
What you’ll likely like: - Dual-sided adhesive design aimed at a secure mount for photos, artwork and decorations - Hook and loop grip for a firm fit once applied - Useful holding capacity on the stated strip size - Water-resistant backing suited to areas like bathrooms and kitchens (again, depending on surface type) - No-nails installation, which helps keep walls looking intact
What could be a deal-breaker: - Not suitable for painted walls, concrete/brick/block surfaces, or uneven surfaces (so it’s not a universal “wall tape”) - Adhesive needs time to reach maximum strength, so quick installs may disappoint - If your frame/backing doesn’t naturally pair well with hook/loop mounting, the system may feel less straightforward

Is it worth it?
This is worth considering if you’ve got smooth, dry mounting surfaces and you want a no-drill way to hang pictures or artwork reliably, especially in rooms like kitchens or bathrooms where moisture resistance is a plus. The 20 pairs also make it easier to plan a small gallery or handle multiple decorations without having to buy more fixings later.
It might not be the best choice if your wall is painted (as stated), uneven, or made from brick/block/concrete, because the manufacturer explicitly flags these as incompatible. And if you’re looking for an immediate mount with no waiting period, bear in mind the adhesive is said to reach maximum strength only after 72 hours.
