Pro Gaff® P-628 Black Professional Gaffer Tape (Formerly Shurtape P-628)

Pro Gaff® P-628 Black Professional Gaffer Tape | Formerly Shurtape P-628

Pro Gaff® P-628 Black (formerly Shurtape P-628) is the gold-standard professional black gaffer tape trusted on film sets, Broadway stages, concert tours, and live event productions worldwide — the tape professional gaffers, riggers, stagehands, and AV technicians reach for when performance cannot be compromised. Made in the USA with matte coated cloth and zero PVC, it runs cleaner, quieter, and more conformable than vinyl-coated alternatives. Pro Gaff® by Pro Tapes® / Shurtape Technologies is an 11 mil matte coated cloth tape with a synthetic rubber-based adhesive system delivering exceptional adhesion, high tensile strength, and clean residue-free removal from virtually any surface. The cloth backing tears cleanly by hand in both machine and cross directions — no scissors, no tools — while the ultra-matte finish eliminates light scatter and reflection on camera and stage. The writable surface accepts any pen or marker. Available in Black in 2" x 55 yards and 3" x 55 yards.
