Custom Caution Tape – 3″
Three inches is the most popular width for barricade tape. Regular caution tape and police line tape are typically three inches. This size is most often intended for pedestrian traffic and other applications where distance is not of great concern like industrial processing or manufacturing. With exception to GLO colors, the plastic films are high quality UV-treated LD polyethylene developed specifically for Highland. Our films contain higher amounts of colorant for reduced film transparency and increased print visibility. These are fade-proof, low-stretch films which will remain strong yet pliable even in temperature extremes. We use a thicker ink application than many other manufacturers so your print stands out boldly. The print is fully waterproof, fade- and scratch-resistant.

Order Now, Pay Later. No Obligation.
We don’t expect payment until you say the design is perfect. After you place an order, our art team will begin drawing up a proof of your design. Once you receive the initial proof in your email, you’ll have a chance to either proceed with payment or ask for design edits. Once you like the design, we can move ahead with secure online payment like any other ecommerce. If we can’t design something you’re happy with, there’s no obligation to proceed with the order.

Ink Colors
Not all ink color/film color combinations work.
Colored ink works best on white film.
If your chosen combination is something we know to be problematic, we'll contact you directly to discuss options. Black ink works on all film colors (except black!) and is included in the base pricing. White and colored inks include a small additional cost reflected under the "Options" subtotal.
Film Duty
Plastic film thickness is measured in mils, or 1/1000ths of an inch
- Medium-duty film (2-mil) is suitable for all indoor applications and the most common outdoor applications.
- Heavy-duty film (4-mil) is appropriate for very long spans, unforgiving outdoor environments like high-wind areas, or for extended use (>1 year).
Printing Plate Size
Size selection should depend on how much text and artwork is intended to be printed. There is no hard and fast rule. 19-inch plates are popular because they work for most applications. If you want your images/text to appear extra large, a 38-inch plate may be better.
Before we print your order, you will receive a proof to review. If the proof doesn't jibe well with you, ask us to see it sized differently. There are no fees and no obligations to re-work the design for you until it's exactly what you want.
Uploaded artwork:
Our team will use any graphics you upload to design a proof and send it to you for review. The simplest and best graphic files to upload are vector art files. This is an illustration that shows what it looks like when we zoom in on different file types.
Most graphics pulled from the web are in raster form. 
Vector graphic formats that are common include .svg, .wmf, .eps, .pdf, .cdr, or .ai.
We understand not everyone has vector art available. We can work with whatever you have. We'll put together a model design for you to see. If you're not happy with the design, we'll rework it until it's just right.
If you would like suggestions or advice on your design, please let us know! We are at your service!
Additional text to include:
If your artwork file contains a logo or graphic only and you would like text to be included in the design, enter it in this box. For example, if you upload a logo but would like your business's phone number and address included, this is where you can include that information.
Additional notes:
If there are important concepts that you'd like us to include in the initial design model, let us know here. For example, you may want a specific font or style for the text. Another example would be to place an address above a phone number or vice versa.
