Gaffers tape, which is commonly referred to as stage or spike tape, shares many qualities with duct tape. Gaffing tape is very strong and is available in many colors, but differs from regular tapes because it does not leave a residue when removed. Gaff tape is also different because it has a special cloth back to eliminate the reflection of light.
Due to the special nature of gaffers tape, it has become popular for marking areas such as gyms, theaters, dance halls, and even business meeting rooms. It marks the floor with a strong and stable adhesive, but leaves absolutely no sticky residue behind. This feature, combined with it’s ability to resist water, vapors, scuffs, and peeling allow gaffers tape to be a staple in the presentation industry.
