Barrier Tape for Safety, Events and Construction
Barrier tape defines boundaries, warns of hazards and controls access. We manufacture it from coloured polyethylene film at our Preston facility and print it in-house using UV-stable inks that hold their colour outdoors.
Stock designs print up to 3 colours — yellow/black, red/white or blue/white are the standard combinations. The high contrast between base film and print colour gives maximum visibility at distance. Our range covers standard hazard colours for site safety, white varieties for events and crowd control, and blue/white police-style tape. All designs are held in stock; custom text tape is available to order.
