When a project demands exact conductivity, shielding, or a clean metallic finish, generic aluminum tape or thin craft foil simply falls short. Makers, electronics hobbyists, PCB repair technicians, and small-shop fabricators need a copper strip they can trust to solder cleanly, bend without cracking, and hold its shape under real-world conditions. This copper foil tape strip delivers that reliability in a wide range of thicknesses and widths so you can match the material to the job rather than compromise.
Each strip is cut from 99.9% pure copper sheet stock. Thickness options run from 0.15 mm (approximately 0.006 in) up to 1.5 mm (approximately 0.059 in), and widths span 5 mm (0.20 in) to 120 mm (4.72 in). Every piece is supplied in a 1-meter (39.4 in) length, giving you a workable run for most bench projects while keeping waste to a minimum.
Typical applications include EMI/RFI shielding tape for enclosures and cables, bus bars and grounding straps in low-voltage electrical assemblies, decorative inlay work in woodworking and resin casting, and flexible conductive traces for wearable electronics or stained-glass soldering. The combination of thin-gauge flexibility and thicker structural options in one product line makes it a go-to copper foil strip for DIY electronics shielding, copper tape for stained glass, and precision metalwork alike.
Made from high-purity copper for consistent electrical conductivity, reliable solderability, and a clean, bright surface finish across every variant.
Thickness from 0.15 mm to 1.5 mm; width from 5 mm to 120 mm — choose the exact cross-section your project requires without cutting down oversized sheet stock.
Thinner gauges (0.15–0.3 mm) bend and conform around curves for shielding tape and stained-glass work; thicker gauges (0.5–1.5 mm) hold shape as bus bars or structural inlays.
Copper forms a stable oxide patina over time that slows further corrosion, making these strips suitable for both indoor electronics and light outdoor decorative applications.
The clean, uncoated surface accepts solder, conductive epoxy, and flux without pre-treatment, saving prep time on PCB repair, grounding straps, and wearable circuit projects.
Each piece ships as a single 1-meter (39.4 in) strip — long enough for most bench runs, easy to store flat, and simple to cut down with standard shop scissors or metal shears.

For EMI/RFI shielding tape, stained-glass soldering, or flexible conductive traces, gauges between 0.15 mm and 0.3 mm offer the best conformability. For bus bars, grounding straps, or structural inlays where the strip needs to hold its shape, choose 0.5 mm and above. Thicknesses of 0.8 mm–1.5 mm are suited to applications requiring mechanical rigidity alongside conductivity.
Width determines the cross-sectional area available for current flow and the visual footprint of the strip. Narrow widths (5–15 mm) work well for PCB repair traces, stained-glass lead lines, and tight shielding runs. Wider strips (40–120 mm) are better for broad EMI shielding panels, decorative inlay work, or bus bar applications where lower resistance per unit length matters.
Yes. The bare, uncoated copper surface accepts standard rosin-core and no-clean solder with a conventional soldering iron. For best results, apply flux before soldering and work quickly to avoid excessive heat spread. Thinner gauges (0.15–0.3 mm) heat up faster, so use a lower iron temperature or shorter dwell time.
Copper naturally oxidizes and develops a patina (darkening or greenish verdigris) when exposed to air and moisture. This oxide layer actually slows further corrosion. For indoor electronics and shielding applications the tarnish does not significantly affect conductivity. If appearance is critical, apply a clear lacquer or store unused strips in a sealed bag with a desiccant.
Yes. The thinner gauges (0.15–0.25 mm) in narrow widths (5–10 mm) are well-suited for wrapping glass edges before soldering in the Tiffany-style stained-glass technique. Note that traditional stained-glass foil tape typically has an adhesive backing — these strips are bare copper, so you would use flux and solder to bond them rather than a peel-and-stick method.
Absolutely. Thin gauges (up to about 0.3 mm) cut cleanly with heavy-duty scissors or a craft knife and steel ruler. Thicker gauges (0.5 mm and above) are best cut with metal shears, a rotary cutter, or a fine-tooth hacksaw. Always deburr cut edges with fine sandpaper or a file before handling or installing.
Adhesive copper foil tape has a pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side for quick application to surfaces without soldering. These strips are bare copper with no adhesive — they are intended for applications where you need a solderable, bondable, or mechanically fastened copper element with precise thickness and width control. They offer greater thickness range and structural integrity than typical adhesive foil tape.
Store flat in a sealed plastic bag or zip-lock pouch with a silica gel desiccant packet to minimize oxidation. Keep away from acidic environments (such as near batteries or chemical storage). Properly stored strips can remain in usable condition for extended periods without significant surface degradation.
