Quick Answers

EAB Buyer Questions

Tearable vs. non-tear EAB — which do teams prefer?

Tearable lightweight EAB (TL) is applied fast on the sideline without scissors — the everyday choice for training and general support. Heavy non-tear EAB (TE) delivers maximum compression for lineout lifting and heavy taping, cut with scissors for precise application. Serious rugby programs stock both.

What tension should EAB have for lifting applications?

For lineout lifting and Olympic lifting support, heavy-grade TE EAB provides medium-to-maximum compression with strong adhesive anchoring. Our TE range is built with constant unwind tension so the wrap applies consistently — ask for samples to feel the difference.

Can EAB tape be printed with my logo?

Yes. Printed backcloth, colored cloth and custom retail packaging are available on OEM orders, with MOQ from 1 carton on stock specifications.
