From home improvement and craft projects to work and office spaces, gaffers tape is useful for a variety of projects. At Staples, we carry a variety of gaffers tape in different colors and sizes so that you can find the perfect solution for your needs.
Choose from many colors and sizes
Most commonly used in stage productions and on film sets, gaffers tape is a heavy-duty adhesive tape with a cloth backing that can be used for a variety of purposes. From temporarily securing cables to holding down gels and sets, this tape is an essential tool for anyone working in the theatre or film industry. While gaffers tape is available in a variety of colors, the most popular choice is black gaffers tape because it is less visible on stage and won't reflect light the way that other colors or materials would. A narrower style is commonly referred to as spike tape and is often used for laying out stage markers.
Use gaffers tape for a variety of projects
Gaffers tape is also commonly used for work and office spaces. It can be used to hold wires and cables together, as well as marking hazards and keeping areas safe. This is because unlike duct tape made with a vinyl backing, the cloth backing of gaffers tape is more resistant to slipping. And, because it is flexible and resistant to heat, gaffers tape is a great choice when working with fragile electronics.
Packs are perfect for the home or office
Gaffers tape is also perfect for packages. When shipping fragile items, many people prefer to use gaffers tape to keep the contents in place. If you're looking for a heavy duty tape that's not duct tape or clear packing tape, look no further than gaffers tape. It's perfect for packing fragile items and keeping them secure during shipment.
