Tips on how to make bulk tape orders for any club or high school sport teams! (note we’re based in Vancouver)
Athletes from a variety of sport teams rely on tape to help support their athletic performance or for rehabilitation. Making bulk tape orders for players on a large team such as ultimate frisbee or volleyball makes the whole training process more efficient, reduces the need to go through taping orders excessively, and helps athletes save a couple of dollars.
At Lift Clinic, our practitioners prefer using trainer’s tape from Renfrew Athletics through our primary suppliers, Vereburn or Athletic Trainers Room. Create a Team / Corporate Account to access better pricing.
For those of you who are local in Vancouver, and need to get to a store and pick something up quickly, try Paris. Paris is a local supplier that also offers a wide range of medical supplies including K-Tape. Check out their website for more detail: http://pariseverybody.com
Aside from this, many products are available via Amazon and it’s often good to check there. We also get gloves locally from Costco.
