History

The name ‘Sellotape’ was coined in 1937 by Colin Kininmonth and George Gray, who fabricated the artefact by applying elastic adhesive to cellophane film. The name was acquired from "Sellophane", which itself was acquired from Cellophane, at that time a trademarked name, with the "C" afflicted to "S" so that the new name could be trademarked.2
