Tapes are more than just sticky strips of material; they are essential tools in everyday life, particularly when it comes to ensuring safety, visibility and functionality across various settings. At New Signs, we understand the critical role that tapes play in creating safer environments, improving operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with Australian safety regulations. Whether you're managing a construction site, organising a warehouse or simply need a reliable way to secure objects around the home, our range of high-quality tapes has you covered.
In this blog, we will take you through the different types of tapes we offer, the specific features of each, and why they are crucial for businesses and households across Australia.
Anti-Slip Tapes: Preventing Accidents, One Step at a Time
Safety is paramount, and preventing accidents—especially slips and falls—should be a top priority in any environment. Anti-slip tapes are one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of accidents in high-traffic areas. Our Anti-Slip Tapes are designed to provide a reliable grip, ensuring that surfaces remain stable and secure, even in the most hazardous conditions.
These tapes are perfect for use on stairways, ramps, walkways and any other surface that can become slippery when wet or exposed to heavy foot traffic. Made from durable, abrasion-resistant materials, our anti-slip tapes offer long-lasting protection. They are ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, helping to keep your environment safe and accident-free. The textured surface of these tapes enhances traction, while the strong adhesive ensures that they stay firmly in place, even with heavy use.
In addition to providing superior slip resistance, some of our anti-slip tapes are designed to glow in the dark. This added feature makes them perfect for remaining visible even in low-light conditions. Whether you're looking to enhance safety in a commercial building, warehouse or simply want to add extra protection to your home, anti-slip tapes are an essential part of maintaining a safe environment.
Reflective Tapes: Enhancing Visibility When It Matters Most
In environments where visibility is crucial—such as roads, construction sites or emergency vehicles—Reflective Tapes are an indispensable safety feature. These tapes are engineered to enhance visibility in low-light or nighttime conditions, making them particularly useful for increasing safety in areas with high traffic or potential hazards.
Our Reflective Vehicle Marking Tapes, are designed to reflect light from headlights, streetlights or any other light source, ensuring that your signs, vehicles or hazardous areas remain visible at all times. This is particularly important for road safety and construction site visibility, where ensuring that workers and vehicles can easily see each other is essential to preventing accidents.
We offer top-quality reflective tapes from trusted brands like 3M and Orafol, known for their durability and superior reflective performance. Reflective tapes from these leading brands provide enhanced visibility and reliability, making them the preferred choice for high-traffic and safety-critical applications.
Reflective tapes come in a variety of colours and patterns, including high-visibility yellow, orange and red. These colours are not just for aesthetics—they are carefully selected to catch the eye and increase contrast, especially during the night. Reflective tape can be applied to barriers, safety signage, vehicles, equipment and even clothing. It’s also useful in marking pathways and exits in case of emergencies.
Reflective tapes are an easy, cost-effective way to enhance safety and compliance with workplace safety standards. By improving visibility, they help to prevent accidents and ensure that your business meets legal requirements for hazard marking.
Barrier Tapes: Clearly Defining Safe Zones
Effective hazard management is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring that workplaces, public spaces and construction sites remain safe. Barrier Tapes are a straightforward yet powerful solution to managing dangerous areas and controlling access to restricted zones.
Our Barricade Tapes are perfect for construction sites, industrial facilities, warehouses and public events where controlling access to specific areas is vital. These brightly coloured tapes are highly visible and designed to clearly demarcate dangerous or off-limits areas, ensuring that people stay away from potential hazards. Barrier tapes are also a great way to direct traffic flow, guide pedestrians and signal to others that a particular zone is restricted for safety reasons.
Made from durable plastic materials, barrier tapes are designed to withstand the elements, even in outdoor environments. They are lightweight, easy to deploy and can be tied or hung around poles, fences or other structures to create clear boundaries. Whether you're blocking off a construction zone or marking an emergency exit, barrier tapes are an effective and affordable solution for managing safety in any environment.
Safety Tapes: Visual Warnings for Greater Awareness
In addition to the more specific uses for anti-slip, reflective and barrier tapes, Safety Tapes are an essential tool for creating a safer environment in general. These tapes are designed to act as visual warnings, drawing attention to hazards, marking off areas under repair or guiding individuals to important locations.
Safety Tapes come in a variety of colours and patterns, each with a specific purpose. For example, caution tapes are typically yellow with black stripes, and they are used to indicate a potential hazard. Red and white tapes are often used to signal danger, while green and white tapes are used to indicate safety or mark first aid stations. By using the right safety tape, you can easily communicate potential risks or hazards to workers and the general public.
Safety tapes are highly versatile and can be applied to a range of settings. Whether you need to indicate wet floors, mark off dangerous machinery or signal restricted areas, safety tapes are a simple yet effective way to improve safety awareness. They are especially useful in workplaces such as construction sites, factories and warehouses, but they can also be used in everyday environments, such as offices or schools to communicate risks and prevent accidents.
Adhesive Tapes: Versatile Solutions for a Variety of Tasks

Whether you're sealing boxes, securing packaging or temporarily affixing items, our range of adhesive tapes provides an efficient solution for everyday tasks.
