A stacked pad of large adhesive tape sheets containing a plurality of superimposed tape sheets formed from a substrate with an area of differential release, which extends less than the full length and width of the substrate. The second major surface of the substrate includes a layer of an adhesive. Sequential tape sheets in the pad are configured and arranged with the area of differential release alternating between first and second corners of the sheets with the adhesive layer of each tape sheet is releasably adhered to an adjacent tape sheet at a higher adhesion level, except for the area of differential release which adheres to an adjacent tape sheet at a lower adhesion level.
