Whether you’re changing your facility’s layout, adding new equipment, or designating social distancing practices, marking out the floors helps maintain efficiency and keeps your workers and customers safe. But we understand that needs can change on a dime, and we’re very seldom left with time to wait for paint to dry.
For light to heavy traffic areas, you need a product that's as efficient as your workers while offering both flexibility and durability. That’s where 3M floor and safety marking tapes come in.
If you’re wondering, “What is floor tape used for?” or “How do you install floor marking tape?” you’re in the right place.
Floor tape is critical to any business—from mechanics shops and warehouses to loading docks and checkout lines—because it’s a simple way to visually communicate safety information required by OSHA, such as shifting layouts, walking-working surfaces that need repair, and reminding customers to keep a 6-foot distance.
3M floor marking tape is the solution to your floor marking needs, as it’s easy to apply, durable enough to withstand heavy traffic or dragging pallets, and flexible enough to form even the curviest of circles. It even comes in an array of vibrant colors!

Safety
Visually communicating safety zones, traffic areas, or marking out areas for social distancing is crucial to any successful business and key to keeping your workers and customers safe.
The versatility of 3M Brand’s floor tape makes marking safety areas simple and effective, and the wide range of color options allows for proper color-coding applications set by OSHA’s guidelines. For example, red could mean a defect or scrap area; green could be used for aisles and walkways, and black/yellow for potential health risks.
Customer and employee concerns surrounding COVID and social distancing can also be addressed. From making lanes in your aisleways to designating standing positions while in line, the possibilities to ensure safety and proper communication are endless.
The floor tape’s unique stretch properties allow adhesion to even the roughest surfaces, so there’s never an excuse for not safely marking an area. This also helps ensure the tape’s edges don’t lift, which could lead to a tripping hazard. The bright colors stay true over time—even when exposed to abrasion—so that markings stay clearly delineated.
