Barrier tape

Barrier tape temporarily closes off an area during work, around a hazard or across a passage that must not be used. You stretch it between posts, fences or fixed points, and it stays visible from a distance. It is part of demarcation and signage.

All tapes in this category are Brady and 75 mm wide. Choose between a striped black and yellow tape on a 500 m roll, and tapes with a printed text on 250 m rolls, such as DANGER, PROHIBITED or PROHIBITED ENTRY. A text tells people at once why the area is closed, while a striped tape only marks the boundary. Use a text tape where people pass who do not know the situation.

The PROHIBITED ENTRY text also comes in a reinforced version. A long roll is practical when you cordon off a large site or a whole yard, a shorter roll is enough for a single closure indoors. If the marking has to stay longer than the job itself, a warning tape stuck to the floor or wall lasts better than a stretched barrier.
