AVON, Ohio (June 2014) – It’s a delightful combination that’s sure to inspire creativity. Duck® brand duct tape and NERDS®candies are teaming up to deliver a sweet new Duck Tape® design!

NERDS® Duck Tape® is a playful blend of sweet and sticky – starring the tiny, tangy, crunchy candies on a bright and colorful roll. The newest addition to the Duck® brand palette of hundreds of colors, designs and licenses, NERDS® Duck Tape® is sure to put everlasting fun in the hands of candy lovers.

While Duck Tape® is traditionally relied upon for around-the-house repairs, new designs like NERDS® Duck Tape® are also great for personalization, decoration and customization. Add some pop to notebooks and other school supplies, fashion one-of-a-kind accessories and apparel, or enhance just about anything with a touch of pizzazz. NERDS® Duck Tape® is also a perfect solution to dress up parties – use it on accessories, décor and favor bags, or let it save the day when you’re in a pinch with quick fixes and temporary repairs.

“We are excited to expand our offering of licensed Duck Tape® with a whole new category: candy! NERDS® Duck Tape® is sure to add a sweet twist to craft projects, themed décor, around-the-house repairs and so much more,” said Traci Finkelmeier, director of marketing, Home & Office and Licensing at ShurTech Brands LLC, the company that markets Duck Tape® brand duct tape. “This is a perfect blend. NERDS® are known as the candy you can ‘eat in your own way,’ just as Duck Tape® is a product you can use in your own way – the possibilities are endless.”
