Tipp-Ex Mini Pocket Mouse correction tape

Tipp-Ex is one of the most recognized global brands in the stationery sector, specializing in correction products. The brand originated in Germany in 1959, founded by Wolfgang Dabisch who invented the correction paper. The name itself is derived from the German word 'tippen' (to type) and the Latin 'ex' (out).

Over the decades, the product line expanded from simple paper strips to correction fluid and eventually the dry correction tape seen in the Mini Pocket Mouse format. While the brand has German roots, it was acquired by the French company Société BIC in 1997. Today, production happens in multiple international locations including France and other regions depending on the specific product line, under the management of the BIC Group. The brand remains a household name across Europe and other international markets, often used as a generic term for correction fluid or tape.
