1. A method for manufacturing kinesiology tape, comprising:
applying an adhesive material to a sheet of backing material;
attaching the sheet of backing material to a sheet of kinesiology tape with the adhesive material;
cutting the kinesiology tape to define an array of elongated strips comprising a plurality of series of elongated strips that are physically separated from one another but remain in place relative to one another on the sheet of backing material;
defining perforations in the sheet of backing material between ends of adjacent strips of each series of elongated strips of the plurality of series of elongated strips, the sheet of backing material holding the adjacent strips in place relative to each other;
removing cutaway portions of the kinesiology tape from the backing material;
after removing the cutaway portions of the kinesiology tape, rolling the sheet of backing material and the plurality of series of elongated strips; and
cutting the sheet of backing material between adjacent series of elongated strips of the plurality of series of elongated strips to form a plurality of rolls of pre-cut strips of kinesiology tape.
