Heavy Duty Grade Gaffer Tape

Heavy Duty Grade Gaffer Tape for Cable Holding and Rigging

Heavy duty grade gaffer tape is the extra-strong cloth tape for holding cables and rigging where a firm grip and a clean lift matter. Its specially formulated high-tack adhesive grabs hard to hold audio and visual cables in place, and the matte cloth backing sits flat and does not shine under lights. When the job is done it lifts cleanly from most surfaces, without the residue that a permanent tape leaves behind. That combination makes it a staple for audio-visual, events, staging and production work. Premium Packaging supplies heavy duty gaffer tape to AV, events and install operations across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

• Marking and holding, spike marks and holding covers and fittings in place

Why Gaffer Tape Removes Cleanly

Clean removal is the point of gaffer tape. On a stage, at an event or on set, a cable tape has to hold firmly through the job and then come up without leaving glue behind on the floor, the equipment or the surface. This heavy duty grade pairs a high-tack adhesive for a strong hold with a formula that releases cleanly from most surfaces, so it grips when it needs to and lifts when it is time to pack down. The matte cloth also avoids glare, which is why it is the tape of choice under lights and on camera.

Heavy Duty or Premium Grade Gaffer

The gaffer tapes suit different jobs. This heavy duty grade is the extra-strong option with a high-tack adhesive for demanding cable holds and rigging. Premium grade gaffer tape covers general professional gaffer work, and premium grade white gaffer tape gives a white option for marking and labelling. Choose the heavy duty grade where the hold has to be strongest, and the premium grades for general gaffer work and colour options.

Gaffer Tape or Cloth Tape

Gaffer tape and cloth tape look similar but behave differently. Gaffer tape is matte, high-tack and made to remove cleanly, which suits temporary cable holding and staging. Cloth tape bonds more permanently and suits general holding, bundling and repair where the tape is meant to stay. Choose gaffer where clean removal matters, and cloth tape for a lasting hold.
