Heskins Custom Safety Tape Printing Service

Heskins has long been recognized for its top-quality safety tapes, both abrasive and non-abrasive. While we have offered printed safety tapes in the past, we typically outsourced the printing process to specialist companies. The decision to do so was primarily due to the complexity and cost associated with the machinery required for printing on anti-slip tapes, including our heavy-duty floor marking materials with under-surface printing.

However, as circumstances evolved, so did our perspective. In early 2020, we embarked on an ambitious project to bring the printing process in-house. Our goal was to print full-width, full-color designs on our safety tapes while ensuring a durable print finish, which even included white prints – a rare feature in the printing industry.

Overcoming Challenges

Launching a new production capability during the strict COVID-19 lockdowns presented numerous challenges. Nonetheless, by late 2020, we had assembled the machinery and began the process of modifying it to work seamlessly with our safety tapes. This monumental task was completed approximately two months before the publication of this post.

A Journey of Innovation

The journey of innovation involved countless hours of research and development. Heskins invested in state-of-the-art printing equipment to ensure that our in-house custom safety tape printing service could meet the highest standards. The machinery was heavily modified to provide accurate winding of the material, a crucial step that enables us to slit the tape into the desired width post-printing. This level of precision is vital to creating customized safety tapes that match your specific requirements.

The Custom Printing Advantages

With the introduction of our in-house custom printing capabilities, customers now have access to a range of advantages:

Roll Printing

Our modified printer ensures that the material is wound with 100% accuracy, a crucial factor that allows us to slit it after printing. You have the flexibility to choose any product from our Safety-Grip and non-abrasive range, which can be fully printed and then slit to your desired width. It’s important to note that certain design and width restrictions may apply depending on the materials.

Die-cut Printing

We can print and then precisely die-cut the material into any shape, with accuracy down to 0.1mm. This level of precision allows for truly customized and unique safety tape designs tailored to your needs.

Heavy-duty Floor Marking Tapes
