Pro Gaff® Gaffer Tape — The Professional Standard

Why Pro Gaff® Is the Industry Standard

Pro Tapes® has manufactured Pro Gaff® gaffer tape since 1977 — and it remains the tape of choice for professional gaffers, stagehands, lighting technicians, and event production crews worldwide. Unlike duct tape, Pro Gaff® tears cleanly by hand in both directions, leaves zero sticky residue on most surfaces, and maintains adhesion across temperature extremes without becoming brittle or weeping.

For hula hoop decoration and dance hoop grip, Pro Gaff® is unmatched. Its matte cloth texture provides exactly the tactile friction hoopers need for on-body flow without slipping, while its clean-release adhesive protects polypro and HDPE tubing surfaces. Available in fluorescent colors that glow brilliantly under UV/blacklight — perfect for nighttime performances, black-light studios, and festival stages.

More Uses Than You Can Count

• Hula hoop grip tape — on-body friction for dance & fitness hoopers
• Stage spike marks & floor marking for performers and stagehands
• Climbing gym route setting & hold identification
• Film and TV production — cable management, set marking
• Live events & concert touring — cord taping, equipment labeling
• Color-coding gear cases, cable bundles, and storage
• Theater lighting & rigging — the original gaffer use case
• Crafts, cosplay, and prop building — matte finish blends invisibly
• Sports coaching — field markings, base marking, team color-coding

What Makes Pro Gaff® Different

Most gaffer tape sold online is generic cloth tape. Pro Gaff® is the original. Its proprietary rubber-based adhesive system creates a bond strong enough for demanding production environments, yet releases cleanly without damaging surfaces — something budget gaffer tapes cannot replicate. The matte finish is non-reflective under camera and stage lighting, making it invisible on film and stage.

Pro Gaff® also meets EU RoHS compliance standards, restricting lead, mercury, cadmium, and other hazardous substances — making it the responsible choice for studios, schools, and climbing facilities with safety requirements.
