A paper rewinding machine includes a rewinding assembly operable to produce coreless retail paper rolls.

A protective tape including a polymer film and an adhesive layer disposed on the polymer film. The adhesive layer has a storage modulus at −20° C. of 30 KPa to 100 KPa, and a creep value of 100% to 800% when a load of 3 N is maintained for 2 hours at room temperature. Thus, the protective tape is capable of maintaining a high adhesion value with respect to a display device while minimizing damage to the adhesive layer.

An interface transition for use in compression in connection with panels where air and/or water penetration is undesirable having a first body, a second body, an adhesive layer positioned intermediate the first body and the second body, and an impregnation into at least the first body, wherein the combination of the bodies, adhesive layer and impregnation reduces the air leakage rate therethrough and moisture infiltration therein after the interface transition is compressed to a width 75% of its uncompressed width. The interface transition may include an extension member for splicing and construction of a four-way intersection.
