Why does washi tape not stick better?

Washi tape is meant to be a low-tack option for projects such as painting surfaces, scrapbooking, or temporary decorations. While it’s meant to be somewhat durable, even the sturdiest washi tape isn’t meant to be permanent. It’s meant to come off easily and quickly with little-to-no damage.

Washi tape is a Japanese painter’s tape known for its myriad colors and designs. It’s not known for being a permanent decoration.
