The IBM tapes were sui generis, of a specific length and width and very
often mylar-coated for durability.

The 12-channel tape used on line printers (e.g.
IBM 1403), was, IIRC,
Mylar-coated. Much wider than regular 1" paper tape, however.
All form control tapes I have are normal "paper" tapes. I have not seen
such a mylar tape, yet.
