Choosing Tapes & Adhesive Tapes

Choose by the job: gaffa tape, masking for paint and art, double sided tape for joining, or picture frame tape for a neat backing.

Gaffa tape

The 853.501UK in black, the 853.502UK in silver and the 853.503UK are gaffa tapes 48mm wide on 50m rolls. Each has a 35 mesh, a medium strength adhesive and a water resistant build, and is easy to tear by hand.

Masking tape

The 710.315UK Rhino masking tape is a low tack, pressure sensitive tape that is easy to reposition and remove, which makes it a good match for delicate surfaces. It suits stencils, watercolour painting and work on a drawing board, as well as general home jobs. It is cream coloured and tears easily.

Double sided and picture frame tape

The 799.002UK is a clear, multi-purpose double sided tape, 50mm x 33m, for joining and attaching most materials quickly. A peel-away liner keeps application simple, and it suits photo albums and wrapping at home, in the office or at school. The 799.008UK Rhino picture frame tape is a self adhesive craft paper tape, 48mm wide by 50 metres long, that gives a tidy finish to the back of a picture frame.

Tape gun

The 799.075UK is a handheld dispenser for parcel tape that takes tapes up to 50mm wide on rolls up to 132m long. It has an adjustable tape brake and is sold without tape.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between gaffer tape and duct tape?

Gaffer tape is usually a matt cloth tape with an adhesive that comes away cleanly, so it suits taping down stage cables and other temporary jobs. Duct tape typically has a shiny plastic coating and a more aggressive adhesive that can leave residue. The two terms are often used loosely, so check the finish and adhesive strength. The range here includes water-resistant gaffa tapes that tear easily by hand.
