What Exactly Is It?
GEAR GRIPZ is a textured rubber grip tape designed to enhance the grip and style of your gear. A specially formulated industrial strength adhesive backing allows it to be adhered to all types of surfaces, without harming the product. It is offered in die-cut shapes (Tread and Honeycomb patterns to start) and plain sheets which allow you to mix, match, or even cut out your own designs.
Inspiration
The inspiration for Gear Gripz originated during our search for a way to customize and differentiate our favorite gear. We tried to apply various coatings and spray-on finishes to several different items. Although the look turned out OK, it often compromised the feel of the product. Then one day we stumbled on what would soon become the perfect solution! Over a weekend of chatting among friends and working with the material, the idea of Gear Gripz was born. Not only does Gear Gripz allow you to customize the look, but also it allows you to personalize the feel of your gear.
Uses
As you sit and ponder the usefulness of this product, you will likely come up with a few obvious choices right away: phone, tablet, etc. You will be amazed at where you end up putting them once you have them in your hand. There are thousands of uses! Some of the places we have Gear Gripz: lids of containers, sandals (keeps feet from slipping), key fobs, dashboards, boat deck, fishing rod/reel, and the list goes on.
How It Works
Application is fast and easy, and it does not hurt your gear. You apply Gear Gripz using the built-in template design or you can manually place Gear Gripz one at a time. Depending on whether you want to focus on the LOOK or FEEL of your gear, you decide how and where you want to apply it.
Where are We Now?
We believe in this project so much that we’ve already bought the dies and produced our starting designs; the honeycomb and tread patterns. We’ve run a small sample order to prepare for our launch campaign. Now we are in the process of working hard toward completing the package design, and it is progressing nicely.
