Correction tape; a stationery item used to cover writing errors without needing to wait for it to dry.

How it's used
Unlike correction fluid, which is often referred to as 塗改液, this item is specifically the dry, tape-based version that allows for immediate writing over the mistake. It has largely replaced liquid versions in schools and offices because it does not require drying time and does not leave a messy, uneven surface.
