Ultra Tape White Gaffa Tape 48mm x 50m Roll

This gaffa tape from Ultra Tape gives you a dependable roll for staging, events and general fix-and-hold jobs. Each roll measures 48mm wide and 50m long, with a 35 mesh cloth backing and a thickness of 13 microns. The white colour makes it easy to mark cables, label positions or blend in against pale flooring and set pieces.

We've specced it with a medium strength adhesive, so it holds firm where you need it but still tears cleanly by hand when you're working at pace. There's no need for a knife or scissors, which is handy when you're rigging or striking a set under time pressure. The cloth backing is water resistant too, so it copes with damp conditions and the odd spill without letting go.

Gaffa tape (sometimes called gaffer tape in the US) is a workshop and stage staple for a reason. It's the sort of thing you keep close to hand for cable runs, quick repairs and holding kit in place. This roll comes in white, and the same range is available in three colours so you can colour-code or match your setup. It's a straightforward, good quality tape that does the job it's asked to do.
