Why Our Taping and Wrapping Supplies are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all know that athletic tape is the lifeblood of any sports medicine department. Taping is the most fundamental method for preventing acute sprains, supporting hyper-extended joints, and securing protective padding during intense contact sports. However, low-quality tape that shreds unevenly or loses its adhesive strength from sweat can leave an athlete dangerously exposed to injury. Our selection of professional taping supplies is engineered to meet the rigid demands of certified athletic trainers. From high-tensile zinc oxide tape that locks an ankle in place to specialized tape cutters that safely remove thick tape jobs in seconds, we provide the reliable bulk supplies your training staff needs to operate efficiently on game day.
Top-Tier Taping Supplies and Sports Medicine Tools
We stock the most reliable and highly searched athletic wrapping products on Google to ensure your training room is fully equipped for any injury protocol.
- Cramer 750 Latex Free Athletic Tape: A crucial investment for modern athletic programs. With latex allergies becoming increasingly common among athletes, this premium tape provides the intense, sweat-resistant joint support of traditional zinc oxide tape without triggering severe skin reactions. It features consistent unwinding and an easy-tear edge for fast application.
- Colored Under Wrap (48 Rolls Per Case): An absolute necessity for protecting an athlete's skin. Applied before the adhesive tape, this thin, foam pre-wrap prevents painful chafing and blister formation. Sold in bulk cases, it is also highly popular among athletes for securing ice packs or holding back hair during competition.
- Shark Tape Cutter and Zip-Cut Units: Time is of the essence when an athlete needs to remove a tight tape job and get to the showers or the physical therapy table. These ergonomic tape cutters feature a safely guarded blade that effortlessly slices through thick layers of athletic tape without ever risking a dangerous cut to the athlete's skin.
- Cramer Tape Remover: Removing heavy tape jobs often leaves behind a sticky, stubborn adhesive residue that collects dirt and irritates the skin. This professional-grade solvent quickly dissolves zinc oxide adhesives, allowing trainers to wipe the skin completely clean and ready for the next treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the purpose of under wrap before taping an ankle?
Under wrap, also known as pre-wrap, is a thin, non-adhesive foam layer applied directly to the skin before the actual athletic tape. Its primary purpose is to protect the skin and body hair from the harsh, sticky adhesive of the tape, preventing painful chafing, blisters, and skin tearing during removal.
2. Why is it important to use latex-free athletic tape?
Latex allergies can cause severe skin rashes, hives, and even anaphylaxis. Using latex-free tape in your training room ensures that you can safely treat every athlete on your roster without accidentally triggering an allergic reaction, minimizing liability for your sports medicine department.
3. How does a tape cutter work without cutting the athlete's skin?
Professional tape cutters, such as the Shark or Zip-Cut, feature a small, razor-sharp blade housed completely inside a blunt, plastic "nose" or hook. The trainer slides the blunt plastic guide smoothly against the athlete's skin and under the tape; as they pull, the protected inner blade slices the tape from the inside out.
4. How do athletic trainers remove stubborn athletic tape adhesive?
When tape is removed, it often leaves a sticky residue that soap and water cannot wash away. Athletic trainers use specialized chemical tape removers (like Cramer Tape Remover) that safely dissolve the adhesive bond, allowing the residue to be easily wiped off with a towel.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk cases of athletic tape?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and athletic trainers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk cases of tape and pre-wrap, keeping their departments fully stocked for the entire athletic season.
