How to Order Custom Caution Tape With Your Company Logo (and What to Expect)
TLDR: Blackburn manufactures custom printed caution tape with your logo, company name, or safety message on durable, weather-resistant polyethylene tape. Submit your artwork, approve a proof, and get professional barricade tape that identifies your organization on any job site or event.
Key Takeaways:
Blackburn prints logos, custom text, phone numbers, and safety messages on barricade tape in six tape colors and seven ink colors, giving you enough options to match your brand or meet visibility requirements.
Customized caution tape starts at 20 rolls for the 300' size and 10 rolls for the 1000' size, working for both smaller one-time jobs and ongoing bulk orders.
Every order goes through a digital proofing process before production begins, so you see exactly what your tape will look like before Blackburn prints a single roll.
Blackburn’s custom barricade tape is trusted by construction crews, utility companies, event organizers, lawn care operators, and facilities teams.
Generic caution tape does the job. Custom caution tape does the job and tells everyone on site exactly who you are. Blackburn Manufacturing Co. prints your logo, company name, or safety message directly on barricade tape: your colors, your quantities, built to hold up outdoors.
Whether you're a construction contractor marking a job site, an event coordinator roping off a perimeter, a utility crew identifying underground infrastructure, or a lawn care company meeting chemical application notification requirements, the process of customizing your tape is straightforward and faster than you might expect.
Here's everything you need to know before you place an order.
What Can Be Printed on Custom Caution Tape?
Quite a bit, actually. Blackburn's custom printed barricade tape gives you a 2.5" x 12" print area on 3-mil polyethylene tape, which is more than enough space for a logo, company name, safety message, or any combination of the three.
Common print options include:
Company name and logo: the most popular choice for contractors and utility crews who want job site identification at a glance.
Custom safety language: "Danger: High Voltage," "Do Not Enter," "Authorized Personnel Only," or anything your site or compliance team requires.
Contact information: phone numbers, website URLs, or even QR codes.
Event branding: festival names, sponsor logos, race identifiers, corporate event perimeters.
Caution tape colors run the full spectrum: white, yellow, red, orange, blue, and green. Ink comes in black, green, orange, red, blue, yellow, and purple. That's a wide enough palette to match your brand colors or meet high-visibility safety standards on any job site.
How to Submit Your Logo and Artwork
This step may confuse first-time buyers, so let's make it simple.
Preferred file formats: We accept high-resolution files in the following formats: .ai, .eps, .pdf, .jpg, .tiff, and .png. For optimal print quality, vector files (.ai or .eps) are the gold standard.
High-resolution raster files also work: If you only have a PNG or JPG, still send it over. High-res files (300 DPI or higher at the intended print size) reproduce well. If your file is low-resolution, reach out before you order and our team can advise on whether it's workable.
If you don’t have an electronic version of your logo, please contact our customer service team for assistance. We can help you digitize your logo for printing purposes.
The proofing process: After you submit your artwork, Blackburn produces a digital proof showing exactly how your design will appear on the tape. You review and approve it before production begins. Nothing goes to press until you sign off.
This step exists specifically to catch sizing issues, color mismatches, or layout tweaks before the run, not after. If you're ordering custom caution tape with logo prints for the first time, the proof stage is your best friend. Use it.
Minimum Orders, Sizes, and Quantities
Blackburn's custom caution tape comes in two standard sizes:
3" x 300': minimum order of 20 rolls; good for smaller jobs, events, or testing a new design
3" x 1000': minimum order of 10 rolls; the workhorse option for ongoing job site use, utility marking, or recurring events
Both rolls carry the same 2.5" x 12" print area and the same 3-mil polyethylene construction with a poly gloss coating that makes the tape weather-resistant in both hot and cold conditions.
The 1000' rolls are the better value per linear foot for crews that go through tape regularly. The 300' rolls make more sense for a smaller run, a new design test, or a one-time event.
For bulk caution tape orders beyond the standard minimums, including multiple designs or multiple job sites, request a custom quote before you finalize quantities.
Lead Times and Shipping
Custom orders aren't off-the-shelf, but they don't take forever either.
As USA-based barricade tape manufacturers, Blackburn controls production in-house, which means fewer delays and more flexibility than ordering through an overseas supplier.
Standard production turnaround for personalized caution tape begins after artwork approval. That means the clock starts once you've signed off on your proof, not when you place the order. Plan your artwork submission accordingly, especially if you're working toward a specific job start date or event.
Rush options may be available depending on current production volume. If your timeline is tight, mention it upfront when you reach out. The earlier we know, the more options we have.
Rolls ship in standard packaging suited for bulk quantities. If you're ordering multiple rolls for multiple locations, we can discuss logistics as part of the quoting process.
One practical tip: don't order custom barrier tape the week before you need it. Build in time for artwork approval and production.
Who Orders Custom Caution Tape? (Probably Someone Like You)
Custom barricade tape isn't a niche product. It shows up across industries wherever job site identification, crowd control, or branded safety communication matter.
Construction and contractor companies use customized caution tape to mark restricted zones, identify their crew on multi-contractor job sites, and meet OSHA visibility requirements. A roll printed with your company name also walks away from a job site a lot less often than plain yellow stock tape.
Event and festival organizers use branded perimeter tape to control crowd flow, identify sponsor zones, and create a polished look for VIP areas, finish lines, and restricted backstage access.
Utility and municipal crews rely on caution tape printing to identify underground marking work, overhead line hazards, and organizational territory during infrastructure jobs where multiple agencies may be working the same corridor.
Lawn care and landscaping operators use caution tape logo and text prints to satisfy chemical application notification requirements. A professional-looking roll bearing your company name signals compliance and builds client trust.
Facilities managers and property teams cordon off restricted areas, active maintenance zones, and wet floor situations with tape that identifies the organization responsible, not just a generic warning.
If your industry involves temporary barriers, site marking, or safety perimeters, custom caution tape probably has a role in your operation. And if you're tired of generic yellow tape that could belong to anyone, this is the upgrade.
