How to Choose Bunting & Flags

01
BARRIER TAPE OR FLAGGING TAPE
Barrier tape cordons off hazardous areas on site. Survey flagging tape marks boundaries, utilities and ground features. Choose based on whether you need a physical barrier or a colour coded marker.
02
CHOOSE THE RIGHT BARRIER TAPE
Yellow caution tape suits general hazard marking. Red and white striped tape indicates restricted access. The Danger Do Not Enter tape adds a printed warning for higher risk zones.
03
MATCH YOUR FLAGGING COLOUR
Survey flagging tape is available in seven colours including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink and white. Different colours help distinguish utilities, boundaries and marked features on site.
04
CONSIDER REFLECTIVE TAPE
3M Diamond Grade 4000 Series reflective tape is available in 50mm and 70mm widths in yellow and white. Class 1000 rated and suited to vehicles, plant and permanent safety marking.

Frequently asked questions
Are bunting flags reusable?

Yes, bunting flags are generally designed for repeat use rather than being a single use product. Provided they are stored dry and kept away from prolonged crushing or sharp damage, they can be taken down, coiled and reused across multiple jobs. Checking flags for UV fading or rope wear before each use is good practice, particularly for flags that spend long periods outdoors.
How are bunting flags attached?

Bunting flags are typically strung between star pickets, posts, fencing or other fixed points using the attached rope or cord, and can be tied off or looped around as needed. They are quick to put up and take down, which makes them practical for boundaries that shift as work progresses, such as around a moving excavation or changing exclusion zone.
What are bunting flags used for on site?

Bunting flags are used to cordon off hazardous or restricted areas and give a clear visual boundary that is easy to see from a distance. Strung between posts, star pickets or fixed points, the flags catch the eye far more readily than rope alone, which makes them a common choice around excavations, trenching, road works and general site perimeters.
Do the colours of bunting flags mean anything specific?

Colour use can vary by site, industry and internal procedure, so there is no single rule that applies everywhere. Bright colours such as orange and yellow are commonly used for general hazard marking due to their visibility, while some sites adopt colour coding to distinguish between different zones or hazard types as part of their own safety system. It is worth confirming with your site or project team if a specific colour convention is in use.
What is the difference between bunting flags and barrier tape?

Barrier tape and flagging tape serve different purposes on site. Barrier tape is wider at 75mm, printed with warning text or colour coded striping, and is designed to physically mark off a hazardous area or restricted zone. It is strung between posts, fences, or fixed points to create a visible cordon that communicates a clear message such as caution, danger, or do not enter. Survey flagging tape is much narrower at 25mm, comes in a wide range of colours, and is tied or wrapped around stakes, pegs, or vegetation to mark specific points or boundaries for survey, civil, or utility work. Flagging tape is not intended to act as a physical barrier, but rather as a quick and highly visible marker that can be read and removed easily.
