Marking a route : Flagging tape

[Frosty]

Anyone know a S.A. supplier that can provide fluorescent paper flagging tape. Its 85mm wide.. not sure of the length of the roll though.

 

Sticky on one side and printed in fluorescent colour on the other side.

 

Have gone through Google and looked at various SA tape suppliers but cant seem to find this particular tape

If you come right, please post the source here. I’m sure others will it useful - present company included.

For the local races we organise we obtain our day-glow fluorescent sticky tape from Ellaton Mining Supplies and Signs in Klerksdorp. I don't see it on their website, but we have, for the last ten years, obtained our supply diectly from them. http://www.ellaton.co.za

Give them a call in the morning.

Paper so i can tear strips off as needed. No plastic/plastic based.. its not enviro friendly and doubt the type you referring to come in rolls of practical length. 

On paper (excuse the pun) the paper tape may look more eco friendly, but thanks to the coatings and glue, is not much better than ductape.  Either one, I hope you're removing post-event, so therefore zero real different.

 

50m rolls are pretty standard and I can tear it quick and easy.  So unless you have one hand or are super weak, not sure again of issue, at least duck tape tears squarely if that makes sense.  So I imagine less waste.

 

Use it or dont.   At least you could have it in your possession within 1 hour if you wanted.

The tape we have used is already cut into squares.The backing tape is continuous.When you have to mark 3 days of a stage race you will be thankful you used the proper product

ah, sounds much better.

EMS's dayglow tape is also pre-cut into squares. Tear off a square, remove backing paper and stick.
