CSS Masking Tape Label Button

A strip of drafting tape stuck slightly crooked: translucent so the surface shows through, fibrous weave running lengthwise, ragged torn ends cut by a repeating mask, and a hand-written label. Hover presses the tape flatter; pressing sticks it down.

How this works

Torn ends come from a mask made of two repeating radial notch patterns pinned to the left and right edges, so both ends are irregular while the middle stays intact:

mask:
  radial-gradient(.22rem .3rem at 0 50%, transparent 96%, #000 0) 0 0/.42rem .5rem repeat-y,
  radial-gradient(.22rem .3rem at 100% 50%, transparent 96%, #000 0) 100% 0/.42rem .5rem repeat-y,
  linear-gradient(#000,#000) .4rem 0/calc(100% - .8rem) 100% no-repeat;

Tape reads as tape because of translucency plus a directional weave: a low-alpha base, a fine repeating gradient at 1-2px, and a broad diagonal sheen. The whole label is rotated by a fraction of a degree — real tape is never square — and un-rotates toward flat on hover:

.cb-33__btn{ rotate:-1.6deg; transition:rotate .4s, translate .4s, filter .35s; }
.cb-33__btn:is(:hover,:focus-visible){ rotate:-.4deg; translate:0 -2px; }

The shadow is a drop-shadow filter rather than box-shadow, so it follows the torn silhouette instead of the rectangle.

Make it yours

  • Change the tape colour with --tape; keep alpha between .82 and .92 or it stops looking translucent.
  • Notch size and rhythm are in the mask's .42rem .5rem tile — smaller tiles read as a cleaner tear.
  • Rotate more or less at rest; anything beyond 3° starts to look like a mistake rather than a hand.
  • Swap the handwriting font for a marker face if the label needs more weight.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Handwriting fonts are low-legibility at small sizes: 1.125rem minimum, and never for critical actions.
  • A rotated button's hit area is rotated too — keep rotation small so pointer targets stay predictable.
  • drop-shadow plus a multi-layer mask is a heavy combination; use it once, not on a list.
  • Translucent controls inherit the background's contrast problems. Test the label against the lightest thing behind the tape.
  • Multi-layer masks need explicit repeat and size per layer or the base layer tiles and eats the tape.

Browser support

ChromeSafariFirefoxEdge

mask shorthand with multiple layers: Chrome 120 / Safari 15.4 (prefixed earlier) / Firefox 53. Without it the ends are straight — the tape still works.
