English term or phrase:tape vs. film
XYZ is one of the leading manufacturers of tape and film. (as in adhesives)
also ... there are numerous applications for tape and film.
Ich würde eigentlich dazu neigen, beides als Band zu übersetzen, aber anscheinend gibt es ja doch einen Unterschied.
Bin wie immer für jeden Vorschlag dankbar :-)

My gut feeling tells me that tape is the plastic material magnetised to record sounds and pictures (Tonband, Cassette), the Sellotape type of sticky plastic (tesaband) or a thin piece of plastic or other material with or without adhesive on one side (Band).
Film is surely only the photographic film for negatives or movies?
1. Tape is cut to a certain width from a wide film. 2. Film is the plastic substrate - before the adhesive is applied. Trying to help out. Just wondering why it is photographic film versus adhesive tape ?
