The only roll of ProGaff in the pack is this one. The other four are decent, but not ProGaff-worthy. br>br>Purchase this tape if you need it tomorrow. If you have the time, go to a theatrical supply house and purchase the best equipment.

This isn't the best product for the job.
Gaffers tape is a vinyl-coated cloth tape with a matte finish that is primarily used to secure cables to floors and to mark stages. Its matte finish eliminates unwanted light reflection (no glare) and allows for easy removal from most surfaces without leaving any adhesive residue. Hand tearing is also an option. Thank you very much.
Selected User Reviews For JVCC Gaff-Color-Pack Gaffers Tape Multi-Pack: 1/2 in. width (Fluorescent Blue, Fl. Green, Fl. Orange, Fl. Pink, Fl. Yellow)
The blue roll is smaller than the others and, based on the printing on the inner core, appears to be genuine jvcc tape. br>br>The rest of the rolls are blank on the inside and are larger than the blue. The blue roll is distinct from the other four rolls, as can be seen in the product photo. Also, according to the product specifications, the blue roll is 45 yards long, while the rest of the 5 pack is 50 yards long. It's strange; the tape is fine; it works fine, but it's not as sticky or durable as some. I'm thinking about giving it back.
This set is one of my favorites, and I've purchased it previously. I enjoy coloring with them. (For example, these 8-foot code cables) The quality appears to be adequate for my needs (as evidenced by the channel XLR snakes shown). Before I ordered, I noticed that only the blue was ProGaff branded, so I wasn't surprised when it arrived in the mail. In fact, the ProGaff was an added bonus for me.
I believe we will only use the neon colors in the future. Over the course of two weeks, the tape held up to six nights of performances. I'd make another purchase.
It's also a little shredded on the sides. It's alright, and the colors are bright and appealing, but you get what you pay for.
The top roll (blue) is, in fact, the Pro tape depicted in the photographs. If you've worked with it before, this is exactly what you'd expect. What about the rest of them? There is no brand name, and the quality is poor. Only buy this if you absolutely need it the next day if you're used to the good stuff.
It's a great tape, and there's a lot of it. Perfect for theaters where you don't care if the audience notices the marks--because boy, do they show-- However, I believe this is the point. It adheres well and peels off easily with little to no residue.
I should've looked at the other reviews first. Only the blue is brand-name spike tape, as I (and others) were led to believe. They cleverly photographed it so that you can see the name brand, and they left a gap between the blue and the other colors in the photo so that it doesn't appear that you don't get the entire roll of blue. br>br>I have yet to try the off-brand ones.
