What is Barrier Tape?

Barrier tape is a non-adhesive warning tape used to mark hazardous, restricted, or controlled areas. Commonly seen on construction sites, roadworks, events, and safety zones, it provides a clear visual barrier to improve safety and direct movement.

Custom printed barrier tape allows businesses to combine safety messaging with brand visibility by adding logos, colours, or bespoke text.

Types of Barrier Tape

Barrier tape is available in several formats depending on the application, visibility requirements, and branding needs. 

Standard Caution Tape 

Standard caution tape is typically pre-printed with messages such as “Caution”, “Danger”, or “Do Not Enter”. Commonly used on construction sites and restricted areas, it provides a quick and cost-effective visual safety barrier. 

Warning / Hazard Tape 

Warning and hazard tape uses high-visibility colour combinations such as yellow/black or red/white to highlight dangerous or restricted zones. It is widely used for roadworks, utilities, industrial sites, and temporary hazard marking. 

Custom Printed Barrier Tape 

Custom printed barrier tape combines safety marking with branding and promotional messaging. Printed with logos, company names, warning text, or event branding, it is commonly used at festivals, construction projects, sporting events, and crowd control areas.

What is barrier tape used for?

Barrier tape is a non-adhesive visual warning used to cordon off hazardous areas, construction sites, or restricted zones. Beyond safety, our custom printed barrier tape is frequently used at festivals, sporting events, and trade shows to manage crowds while promoting brand logos and event messaging.

Depending on the industry, it is commonly referred to as caution tape, warning tape, cordon tape, or hazard tape. In the events industry, it is often called branded crowd control tape or bespoke event tape.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but “Caution Tape” typically refers to the standard yellow-and-black or red-and-white stock designs. “Barrier Tape” is the broader category. At Custom Tape Ltd, we specialize in bespoke barrier tape, allowing you to replace generic “Caution” text with your own company branding, site-specific warnings, or social media handles.

Yes, our heavy-duty 75-micron LDPE tape is highly durable and resistant to stretching. While it is designed for temporary use, it can be untied and moved multiple times if handled carefully. However, for maximum safety and visual impact on new projects, we recommend using a fresh roll.

Absolutely. Our tape is manufactured from high-quality Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), which is naturally waterproof and weather-resistant. Our flexographic printing process uses UV-stable inks, ensuring your custom design won’t bleed or fade during rain or prolonged sun exposure—essential for the UK climate.

Our standard 75-micron tape is engineered for industrial strength. It is designed to be high-tensile enough to resist snapping in high winds, yet flexible enough to be tied securely to stakes, scaffolding, or trees without tearing.

Custom printed barrier tape is a non-adhesive tool used to cordon off hazardous zones, construction sites, or restricted areas. Unlike standard tape, it allows you to add bespoke branding, logos, and specific safety warnings. It is widely used at UK festivals, sporting events, and roadworks to manage crowds while providing high-visibility brand exposure.

Barrier tape is a broad term for any tape used to cordon off an area, while warning tape specifically refers to tape printed with hazard messaging such as “Caution” or “Danger”. All warning tape is a type of barrier tape, but not all barrier tape carries a warning message.

For light-duty use such as events or indoor crowd control, a standard 50mm width is sufficient. For construction sites and roadworks where higher visibility is needed, 75mm or 150mm tape is recommended. Heavier gauge tape also offers greater durability in outdoor conditions.
