It is commonly made of durable materials like vinyl or PVC and comes in a variety of colors, widths, and patterns to serve different purposes.

  • Compliance: Meeting regulatory requirements for workplace safety and cleanliness standards.
  • Identification: Highlighting specific equipment locations, tools, or inventory storage.

There are several types of floor marking tape available, each designed for specific purposes:

  • Solid color tape: Used for general marking and identification.
  • Striped tape: Indicates boundaries or different zones.
