What moves the price
For gaffer tape, the drivers are width, length, adhesive strength, finish, material backing, print/custom color, material, roll width — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale sources show gaffer tape pricing is driven mainly by roll size, backing thickness, finish, and whether the tape is plain black or custom-colored/printed. US-facing distributors and trade sellers tend to quote higher per-roll prices for smaller case packs, while import/OEM routes on marketplace suppliers become materially cheaper at several-thousand-roll minimums. Custom printing, specialty colors, and matte/non-reflective stage-safe backing usually move the price upward versus standard black cloth gaffer tape.
