The Devil's stationery

It's that time of year again.  Will someone please invent a type of sticky tape that doesn't seal itself, will not curl round your fingers and adhere to them, split lengthways when you try to tear it or stick itself voluntarily to the wrong part of the parcel? There would be a fortune to be made.

NB - care taken over spelling, so that no-one thought I was referring to an unmoving mythical figure.
