The Professional Choice: Premium Gaffer Tape
Gaffer tape (also known as gaff tape) is the “Swiss Army Knife” of the entertainment and production industry. Unlike standard duct tape, which leaves behind a sticky, destructive residue, high-quality gaffer tape is engineered with a synthetic rubber adhesive that peels away cleanly—even after being exposed to high-heat stage lights.
Key Features
- Non-Reflective Matte Finish: The heavy-duty cloth backing is finished with a matte coating, ensuring it won’t catch or reflect light during filming or photography.
- Residue-Free Removal: Safe for use on expensive cables, stage floors, and studio equipment.
- Hand-Tearable: No scissors required. The cotton cloth weave allows for clean horizontal and vertical tears.
- High Tensile Strength: Despite being easy to tear, it is incredibly strong and durable once applied.
- Weather Resistant: Designed to withstand humidity and temperature fluctuations common in outdoor sets.
Common Applications
- Cable Management: Securing “tripping hazards” by taping cables flat to the floor (dressing the stage).
- Marking (Spiking): Identifying positions for actors, furniture, or camera equipment on set.
- Quick Repairs: Temporarily patching light leaks or securing gear components.
