Gaffer tape for film/TV, live stage, AV rental, and trade shows
Gaffer tape (gaffers tape) is the matte cloth tape that film and TV crews, live-stage teams, AV rental houses, and trade-show contractors use to secure cables, mark spikes, and tape down gear without glare or heavy residue. AeroTape quotes it for rental houses, AV distributors, production suppliers, and event contractors—not a consumer checkout cart.
Specs that belong on the brief: width (including narrow spike widths), roll length, color range, target surfaces for clean-removal testing, packing, and branding. Mixed orders go through tape wholesale; branded rolls through private label. For PVC wire wrapping, see electrical tape; for heavy-duty repair where residue is acceptable, see duct tape—do not substitute duct for stage clean-removal jobs. Same Sports & stage group: hockey tape. Start your RFQ on the inquiry form.

Gaffer tape FAQ
What is gaffer tape?
Gaffer tape (also spelled gaffers tape) is a matte cloth tape used in film, TV, live stage, AV rental, and trade-show production to secure cables, mark spikes, and tape down gear without glare. It tears by hand and is designed to remove cleanly from most surfaces. AeroTape quotes black, colored, and private-label gaffer tape for wholesale — start from the inquiry form.
What is the difference between gaffer tape and duct tape?
Gaffer tape uses a cloth carrier with a matte finish and an adhesive intended for clean removal; duct tape is typically glossier PE-coated cloth and leaves more residue. If clean removal on your surfaces matters, state them on the RFQ and we confirm on sample. For heavy-duty repair where residue is acceptable, see duct tape.
Where is gaffer tape used?
Common B2B uses: film and TV sets (cable runs, mark-outs), live stage and concert production (spikes, temporary hold), AV rental houses (crew packs), and trade shows / exhibition floors (booth cable management and layout marks). Share the venue surfaces on the RFQ so we can test removal.
Does gaffer tape leave residue?
Gaffer tape is formulated for clean removal, but results depend on surface, dwell time, and temperature. We test removal on your target surfaces at sample stage rather than making blanket claims.
Can you private label gaffer tape for rental houses or distributors?
Yes. Core print, sleeves, and carton marks are quoted from artwork via the private label path. Send artwork and catalog widths through the inquiry form.
What is the MOQ for wholesale gaffer tape?
MOQ is quoted by SKU and depends on width, color mix, and branding. Gaffer tape can share a PO with other specialty rolls or hockey tape—start from tape wholesale or the inquiry form.
Do you publish fire-rating or certification badges for gaffer tape?
No. If your venue or market requires specific test documents, list them on the RFQ and ask for a documentation pack. We do not invent certificate badges.
Need wholesale gaffer tape for film, stage, AV, or trade shows?
Share widths, colors, venue surfaces, packing, and volume — typical reply within 24 hours on working days.
