Choosing the Right Colored Vinyl Tape

Vinyl Tape is a highly durable and versatile tape that comes in many sizes and colors. It's used for a plethora of applications across several industries, such as insulating electrical wires, marking warehouses to comply with safety regulations, and sealing HVAC ductwork. Read on to learn more about what vinyl tape is used for and the types that are available here at Tape Jungle.

Colored Vinyl Tape Uses

Colored vinyl tape is especially useful for marking areas such as parking lots and warehouse floors for safety purposes. Additional uses for colored vinyl tapes are:

Color coding
Duct and joint sealing
Pipe wrapping
Decorating

Vinyl tape is so durable that it can outlast paint, but it also can be removed without leaving a sticky residue. This tape adheres to a wide variety of surfaces quickly and easily, providing a method of marking warehouses that is far simpler than using paint. You can mark a warehouse in a fraction of the time it would take you to paint, and unlike paint, there's no drying time involved.

Not all colored vinyl tapes are the same. Your intended use will determine what type of vinyl tape you need. Tape Jungle features industrial grade, general-purpose, and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliant tapes.
