# Gaffer tape (Nichiban®) *Gaffer tape is the professional, matte cloth tape that stands out for one key property: it leaves no adhesive residue. Kortpack supplies the gaffer tape of the renowned Japanese brand Nichiban® (type NT1200): super strong thanks to its linen structure, tearable by hand and available in as many as twelve colours and six widths. From events and lighting-and-sound to industry and temporary repairs — with this tape you work fast, cleanly and precisely.* ## Why Nichiban® gaffer tape? Nichiban® gaffer tape combines the strength of duct tape with the cleanliness of a professional stage tape. The tape adheres firmly but leaves no adhesive residue when removed — ideal on floors, equipment and cables. Thanks to its matte, non-reflective finish, it is excellent for film, photography and stage, where shiny tape is undesirable. You tear the tape easily by hand, both lengthwise and crosswise, without scissors or a knife. ## Our gaffer tape range ### Twelve colours The Nichiban® tape comes in twelve colours, including black, grey and white for discreet finishing, plus signal colours such as red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple and brown. This way you code, mark or camouflage with ease — handy for cable management, set building and stage dressing. ### Widths and lengths You choose from six widths: 19, 25, 38, 50, 100 and 150 mm, in rolls of 25 or 50 metres. For narrow markings, take the 19 or 25 mm; for masking larger surfaces or securing floor coverings, the wide 100 or 150 mm. ## Specifications FeatureValueBrandNichiban® (type NT1200)TypeGaffer / stage tapeMaterialLinen (cloth tape)FinishMatte, non-reflectiveWidths19, 25, 38, 50, 100 and 150 mmLengths25 and 50 metresColours12 coloursPropertiesNo adhesive residue, tearable by hand, very strongApplicationEvents, film, stage, industry## What do you use gaffer tape for? Gaffer tape is the go-to in the events, film and theatre world: covering cables on walkways at fairs and exhibitions, securing floor coverings and sets, and finishing equipment neatly without adhesive residue. In addition, the Nichiban® proves its strength in industry, for sealing export packaging, installing air ducts, sandblasting and temporary repairs to, for example, sea containers and vehicles. ## Gaffer tape or duct tape? Both tapes have a strong cloth backing, but there is an important difference. Ordinary [duct tape](en/tape/duct-tape-order-here) is glossy and can leave adhesive residue with prolonged use, while gaffer tape is matte and removes residue-free. For visible, temporary or professional applications, choose gaffer tape; for sturdy repairs, duct tape will do. ## Discover our other tapes as well View the complete range of [tape](en/tape).
