FAQ: What is the difference between EAB and rigid strapping tape?

EAB (Elastic Adhesive Bandage) is stretchy and conforming - it allows some movement and is comfortable for longer wear periods. Rigid strapping tape (zinc oxide) does not stretch and provides more restrictive joint stabilisation. EAB is preferred for muscle support, compression and areas requiring movement; rigid tape is used where strict joint immobilisation or maximum stability is required such as ankle strapping.

FAQ: Why are sports tapes available in different colours?

Coloured sports tapes allow teams to identify which players are strapped, distinguish between different injury support protocols, and for sports where taping colour can indicate player status or position. Five-colour availability also allows personal preference and team coordination.
