Pro Gaff® Black Professional Gaffer Tape (Formerly Shurtape P-628) | Matte Coated Cloth | Made in USA | 2" & 3" x 55 Yards

The gold standard of professional gaffer tape — trusted on film sets, Broadway stages, concert tours, and live event productions worldwide. Pro Gaff® is the tape that 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 — cleaner, quieter, and more conformable than vinyl-coated alternatives. Formerly known as Shurtape P-628, Pro Gaff® is the same professional-grade coated gaffer's tape now branded under the Pro Tapes® name. Pro Gaff® (formerly Shurtape P-628) 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. The ultra-matte finish eliminates all light scatter and reflection on camera and stage. Writable surface accepts any pen or marker. Available in Black in 2" x 55 yards and 3" x 55 yards.
