Aisle marking tape is used to call attention to a variety of circumstances, many of which are potentially hazardous if they are ignored. The tape can be put down on a warehouse floor, carpet or any location that needs an indicator on the ground.

Industrial floor tape may be installed by hand, or with the assistance of an industrial tape dispenser that will allow you to cover a large area quickly and help to keep the tape in a straight line.

Warehouse floor marking tape is available in different designs and colors, all of which indicate a separate warning. A few of the standard tape colors include:

1. Green aisle markings point out that safety equipment is nearby, including fire extinguishers and stations for eye washing.

2. Red safety floor tape warns of dangerous electronic equipment and hazardous situations.

3. Yellow warehouse aisle marking tape notes a particular walk way or area division.

4. White tapes are intended to notify people of large objects, such as machinery and carts, that can be moved at any time.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase industrial floor tape

Basic floor marking tape is available to specify a particular part of the carpeting or floor as either a walking or non-walking zone. The tape is heavy duty and designed to remain in place through several years of being walked on regularly.

I recommend: Find industrial floor marking tape at websites such as The Tape Depot, MSC Industrial Direct or the Associated Bag Company.

Buy removable floor marking tape

Sometimes it is necessary to put tape down on a particular section of the floor for a short period. It is best to use removable aisle marking tape when you need to mark a spot temporarily. This tape will stick solidly while it is in use and then peel up easily when it is no longer required.

I recommend: Locate the removable tape you need at Production Automation Corporation, The 5S Store or Astro Optics.

Order floor marking tape in a variety of colors

Floor safety tape is available in an assortment of colors that are used to specify the circumstances that called for the tape to be set down. You can find the right tape, whether you need a tape that will warn people about dangerous or hazardous situations, clearly define an aisle or give notification that there is safety and first aid equipment nearby.

I recommend: Get the colored and marked tape you need from FS Industries, Shieldmark and Latta Equipment.
