Adorable Characters in Every Stroke
The limited-edition collection introduces eight unique designs across four sets, each featuring popular Sanrio duos: “Hello Kitty & Dear Daniel,” “My Melody & Kuromi,” “Little Twin Stars,” and “Pompompurin & Cinnamoroll.” Each set comes with two 10mm wide tapes housed in a specially designed heart-shaped case, adorned with the characters themselves.
These compact cases, measuring approximately 6 cm in length (W58×D18×H26mm for the Deco Rush unit, and W73.5mm×D61mm×H25.5mm for the heart case), are not only perfect for storing the Deco Rush tapes but also serve as charming小物入れ (komono-ire – small item containers) for clips or sticky notes. The heart-shaped window on the packaging makes them an ideal gift, allowing a peek at the adorable contents within.
Seamless Decoration for All Your Creations
One of the standout features of Deco Rush is its ability to create smooth, non-bulky decorations. Unlike traditional stickers, these transfer tapes lie flat, preventing planners from becoming thick and bulky. The designs won’t smudge or bleed through paper, providing a clean, illustration-like finish. The length of the tape can be freely controlled, allowing for both subtle one-point decorations and continuous line designs.
To enhance user experience, the tapes incorporate a “matte PET film” which prevents sticking and peeling when pages are closed. This innovative film has fine particles embedded, reducing contact surface area and ensuring the tape stays put while maintaining clear, vibrant patterns. “It’s truly a game-changer for anyone who loves to keep their notebooks neat and tidy,” shares one stationery enthusiast.
Thoughtful Design for Ultimate Usability
The Deco Rush series is engineered for ease of use, incorporating several proprietary features:
-
One-Touch Cap: Allows for easy one-handed opening and closing.
-
Mini Roller: Ensures smooth tape application with excellent straight-line capability.
-
Pitatto Head: Prevents tape lifting and enhances adhesion for a perfect transfer.
-
Left-Handed Compatibility: Designed to be comfortable for both right and left-handed users.
For those moments when plans change or a mistake is made, a separately sold “Deco Rush专用消しゴム” (Deco Rush专用 eraser) is available. This eraser, designed for removing the decoration tape, offers peace of mind. It also comes in five cute case designs that complement the Deco Rush tapes. (Note: Effectiveness may vary depending on paper type and print characteristics. Tape may become harder to erase over time. The eraser can also be used for pencil and mechanical pencil marks).
These limited-edition sets are priced at 1,265 yen (tax included) and will be available nationwide at stationery stores, mass retailers, specialty stores, office supply outlets, and online. The product page offers more details:
