1. A method of forming a securable insulation jacket, the method comprising:
providing an insulation jacket defining an inner face, an outer face, a first end, a second opposite end, and a flap extending between the first end and the second end;
providing a tape assembly including (i) a carrier having a first release face and a second release face, (ii) a primary adhesive disposed along the second release face of the carrier, (iii) a secondary adhesive disposed along the first release face of the carrier, and (iv) a liner having a first release face and a second release face, the liner disposed along the secondary adhesive;
adhering the primary adhesive of the tape assembly to the flap of the insulation jacket to thereby attach the tape assembly to the insulation jacket, and form the securable insulation jacket;
wherein both the primary adhesive and the secondary adhesive are pattern coated on the respective second and first faces of the carrier, and the respective second and first faces of the carrier are 2% to 20% free of adhesive; and
wherein a release level of the first release face of the liner is less than a release level of the second release face of the liner;
wherein the release level of the second release face of the liner is less than a release level of the first release face of the carrier; and
wherein the release level of the first release face of the carrier is less than a release level of the second release face of the carrier.
