Product Overview
Product Overview
For more than 50 years, MatMan has been part of wrestling rooms at every level, from youth programs to college facilities. MatMan MaxTAPE carries that name into the job coaches can't get wrong: keeping mat seams sealed to prevent injuries. This 8 mil tape comes in 3-inch and 4-inch widths on 84-foot rolls. Its soft backing stretches to nearly twice its length, so it bends with the mat through takedowns and stays flat at the edges.

How to Properly Tape Your Mats
Frequently Asked questions
Why do I need to tape my mats at all?
Why do I need to tape my mats at all?
- Safety: Taping your mats is a great way to prevent injury. Gaps between mat panels can cause an injury to fingers, toes, and ankles.
- Hygiene: Like any training room, dust, sweat, and bacteria collect in tight, hard-to-clean spaces. Over time, that buildup raises the risk of mold and skin infection bacteria forming in the gaps between mats. Mat tape creates a barrier over the seam created by conjoining mat panels.
- Professional Look: A fully taped room looks organized and professional.
What brands of tape does WrestlingMart own?

What are the specifications associated with MatMan and WrestlingMart branded mat tapes?
What are the specifications associated with MatMan and WrestlingMart branded mat tapes?
- Length: 84 feet
- Width: 3-inch and 4-inch
- Thickness: 6 mil or 8 mil
Why would I choose 3-inch or 4-inch tape?
Why would I choose 3-inch or 4-inch tape?
4 inch tape gives a 33% greater contact surface area and adhesion. The extra tape helps a properly installed mat from shifting during practice activities such as sprints where the force switching directions shifts the mats and creates gaps between mat panels. They are the same tape, just more of it.
Why would I choose 6 mil versus 8 mil?
Why would I choose 6 mil versus 8 mil?
- 6 mil: tournaments and other temporary setups.
- 8 mil: for prolonged periods such as training rooms.
8 mil stretches up to 190% before it tears. 6 mil stretches to 160% before it tears. The extra elongation strength on the 8 mil takes more pressure at the seam in your training room.
6 mil grips slightly harder on contact vs 8 mil, which is why it works fine for a tournament weekend. But under daily foot traffic and constant impact, that early grip matters less than how far the tape can flex before splitting. That's 8 mil's job.
What are the most common ways mat tape fails?
What are the most common ways mat tape fails?
The 3 most common ways mat tape fails are:
- Splits at the seam
- Pulls up
- Mat panels slide apart while the tape stays adhered to one panel, no tear, no split, no pull up.
Any of these signals are a potential for injury.
Can mat tape be reused?
Can mat tape be reused?
Yes, but each reuse picks up debris on the adhesive, and that debris changes how well it sticks. We recommend against it.
Our published specs, adhesion, holding power, tensile strength, are tested on a fresh application. Once tape has been reused, those numbers no longer apply, and we can't guarantee the tape will perform to spec.
How often should I replace tape?
How often should I replace tape?
Inspect for wear, tear, bubbling, or pull-up on the tape. Replace it once you see these signals.
How do I tape my wrestling mats properly?
How do I tape my wrestling mats properly?
- Clean and completely dry the mats.
- Align the mat edges so there are no gaps or overlaps.
- Center the tape directly over the seam.
- Apply the tape gradually while keeping light consistent tension. We do not want the tape fully stretched on application.
- Press firmly along the entire length of the tape to ensure good adhesion.
- Check the seam before practice and replace tape when it begins to lift, tear, or wear through.
What mat material does your tape work on?
What mat material does your tape work on?

I often set up mats for practice in my garage. Tried this wrestling mat tape, and it is great! Super easy to use, holds the mats together strong, and comes off clean without any mess. I can even reuse it sometimes, which is a plus when we're moving the mats around

I got this Matman tape for my gym mats that have started to separate after years of use. It holds up even with heavy kettlebell workouts, deadlifts, rope slams, etc. I like how there is no sliding or curling at the edges, which I’ve had issues with using other brands. Highly recommend.

Item:Matman Wrestling Mat Tape | Ultra Strong Adhesive Tape for Wrestling, Exercise, Jiu Jitsu Mats | Clear Vinyl Tape for Home Mats & Gym Floor Tape | 3" & 4" Sizes - Case & Individual Rolls (4 inch x 84 ft x 8 mil, 1 Roll)Matman Wrestling Mat Tape | Ultra Strong Adhesive Tape for Wrestling, Exercise, Jiu Jitsu Mats | Clear Vinyl Tape for Home Mats & Gym Floor Tape | 3" & 4" Sizes - Case & Individual Rolls (4 inch x 84 ft…Pros:-Does a really good job holding my mats together, lasts a long time. The secret of the product is the flexibility properties. If you have regular packing tape, packing tape isn't flexible. Exercise mats are flexible. So if you use regular packing tape, it will eventually come undone because of the mats movement. This product solves that problem.-In terms of actual stickiness, its about the same as packing tape. Packing tape has good stickiness.-Tape is super wide which is good for several reasons. The width is a about 2 packaging tape widths. If you wanted to, you could totally make two rolls out of this by cutting this one roll in half.Cons:-noneOther Thoughts:-This is actually a thing! I bought this thinking 'ok ya.... whatever'... but this is one of those products that will prove you wrong. If you have mats that puzzle together, your gonna want to buy this!
