3M Color Coding / Floor Marking Tapes

3M Solution for Heavy Traffic Floor Marking

• Exceptional durability versus traditional vinyl floor tapes.

• Thick backing resists pallet drag and high forklift traffic.

• Comes up cleanly from most surfaces unlike many competitive tapes.

• Stiff yet pliable backing, lays down flat to promote long life and allows for easy positioning with no curling. Competitive tapes may cup or curl when coming off the roll which can cause premature lifting and a shorter work life.

• Easy to apply by hand or with the 3M Lane Marking Applicator M-1.

• Vinyl backed tape is easy to clean.

• Wide variety of widths including a 24” linered version.

• Specially engineered adhesive

Value Proposition

• Provides an end-user a reliable floor marking solution with superior durability,  avoiding frequent tape and/or paint replacement in high traffic areas.

• When it comes time to change the tape, it typically comes up cleanly in one piece from most surfaces, saving customers messy, time consuming clean up.

• Low profile helps avoid the “speed bump” feeling of other thick tapes.
