The frustrations your buyers have lived with for years. We engineer the manufacturing details that fix them, batch after batch.
Standard die-cut strips lift on paddle curves and corners after a few rallies, leaving the frame exposed and the buyer frustrated.
Precision sawtooth pre-cut notches along the inner edge let the tape flex with the paddle's curve. The result is a flush, wrinkle-free fit on 16mm pickleball, 38mm padel, and contoured tennis frames — no lifting, no re-application.
Ink-printed branding fades, scratches, and peels after weeks of play — making premium paddles look cheap and undercutting your brand promise.
We press your logo directly into the TPU as a 3D micro-embossed relief, not ink on top. The mark becomes part of the material itself, so it cannot scratch off, and the raised texture adds a premium tactile feel buyers notice on the first grip.
Cheap solvent-based adhesives leave gummy residue and can strip the factory clear-coat off a $200 paddle — a warranty claim waiting to happen.
We use a clean-peel acrylic PSA tuned to high-end composite frames. It holds firm through aggressive play, then lifts away in one piece with zero residue and zero damage to the original factory finish — protecting your customers' paddles and your brand reputation.

Common questions from brands and distributors about our custom edge guard tape — answered in detail.
No. Gripavo edge guard tapes utilize a specialized low-initial-tack, high-holding-power removable acrylic adhesive specifically engineered for composite carbon fiber surfaces. It ensures clean, residue-free peeling in a single continuous strip while fully protecting expensive racket paint and frames from chipping.
Our TPU edge guard tape features an exceptional 200% to 300% transverse elongation rate. For complex rounded or sharp corners, we offer optional sawtooth or slotted die-cuts in the folding zone. This allows the tape to stretch and lay flat naturally around curves without requiring any heat gun or specialized tools.
Gripavo supports low-threshold policies for growing brands: 100 pcs for stock products, and 1,000 pcs for custom and logo-branded orders. Standard bulk production lead time takes approximately 10 to 25 business days.
Absolutely not. All of our raw TPU materials are formulated with anti-yellowing class 4.5+ additives, combined with weather-resistant adhesive chemistry. The tape maintains structural integrity and prevents bleeding or degumming even in extreme operating environments ranging from -10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F).
Not noticeably. For badminton and competitive pickleball rackets, standard single strips are strictly controlled between 3.5g and 4.5g to maintain optimal balance without causing head-heaviness. For Padel rackets, specialized heavy-duty protection designs range from 8g to 15g tailored to impact-resistance priorities.
Yes. We have ready precision-cutting tooling available for mainstream paddle cores (13mm, 16mm, and 19mm) as well as Padel 38mm frames, fully supporting millimeter-level tolerance slitting and custom profile matching.
