Aim for a power density of about 0.4W or 0.45W per square cm. The usual choice of heater for aluminium tooling plate is a silicone heater. These can be ordered in custom size and power ratings from China at relatively little cost.

I'm not sure about using self adhesive tape. You may have problem with adhesive and smoke at 100°C.
Regarding the heatbed, is there a reason why you want to get such high power from 12V? Why not building something from AC instead of DC?
