6. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material, the roll of double-sided tape and the at least one zipper are enclosed within the receptacle.

7. The partition assembly kit of claim 6, wherein the receptacle is compartmentalized, such that each of the sheet of material, the roll of double-sided tape and the at least one zipper can be separated within the receptacle.

8. The partition assembly kit of claim 7, wherein the receptacle comprises a first compartment, a second compartment and a third compartment.

9. The partition assembly kit of claim 8, wherein the sheet of material is stored within the first compartment.

10. The partition assembly kit of claim 8, wherein the roll of double-sided tape is stored within the second compartment.

11. The partition assembly kit of claim 8, wherein the at least one zipper is stored within the third compartment.

12. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material comprises at least one of a mono-film sheet material, a poly-film sheet material, a plastic or synthetic sheet material, a cloth material, a canvas material and a reinforced plastic tarp material.

13. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material is of a sufficient size to cover a standard-sized entry way comprising a door having dimensions selected from the group consisting of:

14. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the standard-sized entry way comprises a

width ranging between about 2′

feet to about 8′

feet and a height ranging between about 5′

feet to about 12′

feet.

15. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the first side of the carrier material has a peel adhesion about equal to that of masking tape.

16. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the first side of the carrier material has a peel adhesion about equal to that of painters tape.

17. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the second side of the carrier material has a peel adhesion about equal to that of duct tape.

18. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the first side of the carrier material has a peel adhesion greater than or equal to 20 N/in.

19. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the second side of the carrier material has a peel adhesion less then or equal to 15 N/in.

20. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the roll of double-sided tape has a differential adhesive ratio that ranges between about 4:

3 to about 6;

1, the differential adhesive ratio being a ratio of the peel adhesion of the first side of the carrier material to the peel adhesion of the second side of the carrier material.

21. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the second side of the carrier material comprises a UV protectant.

22. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the roll of double-sided tape further comprises a tape liner positioned on the first side of the carrier material having the high-tack adhesive material thereon.

23. The partition assembly kit of claim 22, wherein the tape liner comprises a red-colored release liner.

24. The partition assembly kit of claim 22, wherein the tape liner comprises a paper tape liner.

25. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the at least one zipper comprises first and second flanges each having first and second teeth portions that can be meshed together or separated via a zipper pull.

26. The partition assembly kit of claim 25, wherein a pre-applied adhesive material is disposed on each of the first and second flanges of the at least one zipper.

27. The partition assembly kit of claim 26, wherein the at least one zipper further comprises a protective liner adhered to the pre-applied adhesive material disposed on each of the first and second flanges.

28. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, wherein the at least one zipper comprises a first zipper and a second zipper, the first and second zippers each comprising first and second flanges each having first and second teeth portions that can be meshed together or separated via a zipper pull.

29. The partition assembly kit of claim 28, wherein a pre-applied adhesive material is disposed on each of the first and second flanges of the first and second zippers.

30. The partition assembly kit of claim 1, further comprising a sheet cutter.

31. The partition assembly kit of claim 30, wherein the sheet cutter comprises:

a handle;

first and second puncture fingers extending from the handle, the puncture fingers having piercing ends that are constructed and arranged to pierce the sheet of material to be cut at first and second piercing locations; and

first and second blades between the piercing ends of the puncture fingers and the handle that are constructed and arranged to cut the sheet of material starting at the first and second piercing locations and extending in a direction of applied cutting force for cutting two parallel incisions in the sheet of material.
