Lockport Gaffer Tape 2 Inch

For a video shoot, stage setup, or conference where loose cables need to stay put without drawing attention, Lockport’s white gaffer tape is made for temporary production work. The 2-inch-wide, 45-yard roll is matte, hand-tearable, and described as residue-free, so it’s intended to secure cables, props, and equipment while keeping cleanup manageable.

It’s a practical format for taping a run across a floor or cutting smaller pieces by hand. The key trade-off: it’s water resistant, not described as waterproof, so don’t treat it as a weatherproof seal.

Key specifications

This is one roll of white cloth gaffer tape, measuring 2 inches by 45 yards. Its matte, non-reflective finish is intended to stay less noticeable under stage or camera lighting than shiny tape. That can help when you’re securing a cable near the edge of a shot or marking equipment in a lit space.

The tape can be torn horizontally or vertically without scissors, which is useful when you’re moving between tasks and need a short strip quickly. The product is also described as water resistant and residue-free. Those are helpful traits for production use, but they don’t establish that it will withstand soaking or leave every surface untouched in every condition. The base surface should be clean and free of dust, dirt, and residue, smoothing the tape down helps avoid wrinkles and air pockets.

Who it’s for

It suits you if you need a hand-tearable tape for securing cables, props, or equipment at a show, conference, photo session, or video production, and you want a white matte finish rather than the more common black look. The 2-inch width gives you a broader strip than narrow-purpose tape, while the roll format can be cut to the length a setup calls for.

From the way it is set up, this is a temporary production aid, not a substitute for a permanent fastening method or a waterproof barrier. It might not be a great match if you need tape that blends into a dark floor or background, or if your job depends on a guaranteed bond on an unprepared surface. For a quick setup, picture laying a cable along the edge of a conference room floor, pressing the tape flat, then tearing off another piece by hand for the next run.

In the box

The listing specifies one pack, with the tape supplied as a 2-inch-by-45-yard roll. It does not list extra tools or accessories, so plan to use the roll itself for the taping work.

Questions before you buy

Can you tear it without scissors? Yes. The tape is described as hand-tearable in both horizontal and vertical directions, which makes it easier to cut a piece to fit during setup.

Is it suitable for camera or stage work? Its matte, non-reflective finish is intended for production settings where glare from tape could be distracting. The white color will still be visible against some floors and backgrounds, so consider the surface and shot before applying it.

Does water resistance mean it can seal out water? No such use is stated. It’s described as water resistant, so choose a product specifically intended for waterproof sealing if that is the requirement.

Buying verdict

Choose this Lockport roll when you want white, matte gaffer tape that can be torn by hand for temporary cable and equipment management in production or event spaces. Its roll length and residue-free claim make it suited to repeated setup tasks where easy removal matters. Skip it for permanent repairs, waterproofing, or a dark surface where white tape would stand out. Before committing to a long run, test a small piece on the actual surface, especially if a clean finish after removal is important.
