Road Line Marking Tape – Sizes and Colours Available
Each roll is 5 metres long, and we stock the most commonly used widths, 50mm and 100mm, in both white and yellow.
Most people choose 100mm for parking bays, road markings and double-yellow style layouts. The 50mm option is perfect for warehouse lanes, junctions, walkways and areas where you need a narrower line. You can buy them from ReadySetSupplied
How to Apply
Simply roll the tape into position, heat it with a gas torch until it becomes molten, and let it settle.
As it softens, you’ll see it bond directly to the surface.
Once cooled, the job is done — it sets fast and stays put, even with heavy traffic passing over it.
Surface Preparation
This thermoplastic line marking tape is ideal for tarmacadam, but also works on concrete and block paving with a primer.
It’s the perfect choice for quick car-park layouts, warehouse marking jobs, school safety zones and smaller road works — no paint, no machines, no hassle.
If the surface is old or rough, primer is recommended. We stock aerosol primers and 5L tins depending on the size of the job.
Where Thermoplastic Markings Are Used
This material is used across the UK in:
- Car parks
- School drop-off areas
- Warehouse lanes
- Cycle paths
- Footpaths
- Playgrounds
It’s textured and reflective, giving better visibility and grip, especially in wet weather or on corners.
Common Uses Include:
- Parking bays
- Warehouse aisle lines
- School safety zones
- Cycle lanes and footways
- Numbers, arrows and symbols
- Anywhere you would normally use road or line marking paint
Layout Compatibility
If you need markings cut to suit TSRGD layouts, we can help.
We supply markings for diagrams such as 1003A, 1009A, 1010, and any other Chapter 5 layouts.
Not sure on sizes? We can advise based on standard UK car park and highway specifications.
How Much to Order
Most standard UK car bays are 4–5 metres long, so one roll usually covers the full length.
For bay widths, plan for around 2.5 metres.
The rolls are pre-cut to width, meaning no trimming or wasted material.
Whether you’re marking out a warehouse, car park or small road junction, this torch-on thermoplastic line marking tape is designed to last.
Cold Weather Tips
In colder weather, warm the rolls slightly before installation.
Cold thermoplastic can become rigid and may crack when unrolled. Pre-warming ensures smoother installation and better adhesion.

Why This Tape?
If you want a fast-install, long-lasting road marking solution, this thermoplastic tape delivers.
It melts into the surface, bonds tightly, and resists peeling even under HGV traffic.
Available in 50mm and 100mm rolls, it’s a simple way to install TSRGD-compliant markings without machinery. We can also pre-cut arrows, numbers and symbols to match Chapter 5 diagrams like 1003A, 1009A, and more.
And if you’re installing on concrete or block paving, remember to use a primer for the best finish.
