Is washi tape removable?

Its removable but still leaves a bit of residue if you leave it on for a long time. You can usually fix that up with a paste of coconut oil and baking soda.

Why would you choose to use that when there are so many other options?

Thank you both. what are some of the "many other options" you mention?

Yes. I've put it on the front of shelves in my son's closet and then labeled the washi tape strip with a regular label maker.

Thank you. need something removable.

Thank you. I need something that is removable.

it is removeable--just another name for masking tape like painters and DIYers used for years.

Everyone has been very helpful. Thank you for adding your voice.

Kay is right that washi tape is very similar to masking tape in that it has a sticky backing. The differences are that the width of the rolls are much narrower, and the frontside is generally more of a thin delicate papery texture, as opposed to the more robust texture of masking tape. Washi tape is intended to be used as a decorative trim in craft or design applications, rather than purely functional masking tape.
