LongLife Standard - Symbols

Place an L piece on each corner; in rows of adjacent locations use a T piece where two locations share a side. Add straight pieces along long sides. Leave 30–50 mm between the pallet and the shapes, and do not overlap the pieces.

T and L pieces in 50 and 75 mm, straight pieces 50 × 250, 75 × 350 and 100 × 500 mm and squares in 50, 75 and 100 mm, in 9 colours. Each pack contains 50 pieces.

Standard shapes have sharp corners and are the economical solution for normal to increased loads. Rounded shapes have rounded edges and are 90 mm wide, including a dot and a cross. Vector shapes are made for areas where forklifts turn on the spot and put high shear and torsional stress on the marking.

It depends on the area. ORGATEX recommends pre-cut pieces for incoming material and finished goods areas, and roll tape for main and secondary aisles, hazard points and empties; for rejects and other areas both work. They are often combined: tape for aisles, shapes for locations.

Yes: the LongLife Standard marking kit contains 40 L pieces of 50 mm, 20 straight pieces 50 × 250 mm and 10 A4 protective screens, which is what you need for 10 pallet locations with the location code on the floor.

Adhesive shapes only hold well on a flat, clean, grease-free indoor floor. In other cases there is LongLife Modul: the break-proof plastic L corner is fixed with anchors and also works on concrete, asphalt or paving blocks, indoors and outdoors.

In Italy, Legislative Decree 81/08 (Annex XXVIII) requires that, where the use of the premises makes it necessary, vehicle traffic routes are marked with continuous lines in a clearly visible colour, preferably white or yellow depending on the floor, and that obstacles and danger points are marked with yellow/black or red/white bands angled at about 45°. Signs follow Annex XXIV: red for prohibitions, yellow for warnings, blue for mandatory actions, green for escape and first aid. Other colours (for example blue for raw materials, green for finished goods, red for scrap) are not set by law: they are an internal code to define and apply consistently.

The floor must be even, clean and free of dust, oil and grease. First clean thoroughly, then degrease the application strip with LongLife Cleaner. Remove old markings with the scraper and adhesive residue with LongLife Remover. On critical surfaces, such as porous or dusty concrete, LongLife Primer increases adhesion; outdoors it is always required.

Yes. According to ORGATEX, LongLife markings can be removed without residue using LongLife Remover. Markings are lifted with the LongLife scraper, 1200 mm long so you can work standing up, with a 125 mm blade and 3 spare blades; adhesive residue is dissolved with the Remover. On delicate floors test it in a hidden spot first.

Adhesive marking has no drying time: tapes and symbols are applied without chalk lines or special equipment and the area can be used straight away (the adhesive bonds fully in about 12 hours). When the layout changes it is removed without residue with LongLife Remover, and colours stay standard and consistent in repeat orders. Choose the line by traffic and floor: if in doubt, we will recommend it.

Yes: LongLife tapes and symbols are stated to be resistant to abrasion and washing; for the symbols machine washing is explicitly declared too. After application it is best to wait the roughly 12 hours the adhesive needs to bond before the first machine wash.

Yes, on request. ORGATEX makes LongLife Individuell tape in 50, 75 or 100 mm with custom colours, symbols or QR codes, and custom shapes in any form, size, colour and material: also with anti-slip surfaces, adhesives for rough floors or photoluminescent materials. Send us the drawing and quantities: we will prepare a quote with delivery times.

Yes. Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the areas to be marked or made safe and tell us how they are used (traffic, vehicles, floor, stairs, exits): we will recommend the right products, with colours, formats and quantities. For larger sites or special situations we can consider a site visit on request.

You can use pre-cut pieces – 45° and 90° corners (Standard), T and L pieces (Standard, Vector™, Heavy Duty, Cold Performance), crosses (Standard and Vector™ Rounded) – or cut the tape with the stainless steel LongLife cutting template, which guides 90° and 45° cuts on 50, 75 and 100 mm widths. For 10 pallet locations there is the marking kit (L corners, straight pieces and A4 screens); on uneven floors or outdoors, LongLife Modul L corners fixed with anchors. ORGATEX recommends not overlapping markings.
