Most of our gaffers tape customers use gaffers tape for securing cables to the floor. The keep people from tripping over wires when its necessary to run cables across a stage or in an area where there is lots of foot traffic. It works great for this purpose but can get a little pricey if you have lots of cables to install.
We got an order recently from a customer who uses this tough, durable cotton cloth tape for a much more permanent purpose.They use gaffers tape for making wallets. 
These aren’t the duct tape wallets kids make in summer camp. They are really beautiful accessories that are designed for many years of use. They have even developed some sort of photographic process that lets them print images directly on the tape.
A roll of 4 in . x 60 yd. gaffers tape costs $24.99, and I am guessing that it takes no more than a yard of tape to make one of these wallets. That means that at prices of $40.00 or more for one of these billfolds, the wallet makers can generate a gross profit of $2400.00 for their $24.99 investment in raw material.
Now I know that there are some other materials involved, as well as a lot of labor. Still, it looks like these guys might end up with a lot of $$$ in their own wallets.
