Our Barrier Tape Range

At The Printed Tape Co., we stock a wide range of essential safety designs. The classic red and white barrier tape is used for fire hazards and prohibition, while black and yellow barrier tape is the go-to caution tape for general warnings and physical hazards. Made from heavy-duty, weather-resistant polyethylene, every roll is built to withstand the elements and performs equally well indoors and outdoors.

Caution tape and safety colour codes

Our caution tape follows recognised UK site-safety colour conventions so your message is instantly understood:

  • Red and white — prohibition, fire hazards, do-not-enter zones.
  • Black and yellow caution tape — general warning, trip and physical hazards.
  • Plain white — overprinting, custom messaging, event marshalling.
