Improve organization, increase safety, and support Lean or 5S objectives in your warehouse or industrial facility with Superior Mark® corner markers, designed for durability and ease of use. Floor markings and other visual cues are central to a safe, productive, and well-organized workplace. While floor marking tape and signs are ideal for communicating important safety messages and directional cues, L-, T-, and X-shaped corner markers are helpful organizational tools where tape and signs don’t quite fit the bill. Here, we’ll cover the advantages of Superior Mark® corner markers and offer some tips and ideas for how and where to use them.
Benefits of Superior Mark® Corner Markers
Superior Mark® L-, T-, and X-shaped markers allow you to mark corners for a variety of purposes. Here are some of the benefits of using corner markers over traditional solid tape, signs, or stencils.
- Durability: Superior Mark® corner markers are made with the same beveled edges and heavy-duty adhesive as our patented floor tape, so they will withstand industrial traffic.
- Affordable: Superior Mark® corner markers use less material so they are cheaper than applying solid taped lines, require fewer employee hours to install, and result in less wasted material.
- Ease of Application: Simply peel the liner, align the puzzle edges, and tamp to apply X-, L-, and T-shape corner markers.
- Easy to Remove and Replace: Although Superior Mark® corner markers are exceptionally durable, some damage is inevitable. When damage does occur or workflows or layouts change, it’s quick and easy to remove and replace or repair floor tape markers.
- Versatility: Outline storage areas, mark aisles and pathways, or draw attention to corner hazards with these shaped floor markers, which are appropriate for a variety of uses.
How to Use Corner Markers
Versatile corner markers offer a wealth of practical applications in industrial, warehouse, and manufacturing facilities. They can support organization, improve safety, or increase OSHA compliance. Here are some of the most common ways facilities use corner floor markers, including L, T, and X shapes, to improve clarity and productivity during daily operations.
Outline Pallet Locations
Outline designated storage areas for pallets with corner markers. Corner markers clearly delineate where items are supposed to go but are cheaper and easier to place than solid lines. With less surface area, they’re less likely to be scraped or dragged by pallets. Use a combination of L, T, and X markers to mark areas for stacking and storing pallets. This keeps them where they belong and out of aisles, increasing compliance with OSHA’s Walking-Working surface guidelines.
Create Clear Storage Areas
Outline storage areas with our durable, easy-to-use corner markers. Implementing a color-coded system makes it easy to see what goes where at a glance and to support with the Sort step of a 5S approach to Lean management. Whether you’re organizing boxes, vehicles, or other equipment, corner markers delineate clear areas for each item, ensuring they’re easy to find, put back where they belong, and keep track of.
Create Red Tag Holding Areas
Red corner markers are perfect for outlining red tag holding areas for out-of-order machinery or equipment, or for items that need to be redistributed, disposed of, or evaluated. Corner markers clearly delineate different areas without the cost or time investment required for creating solid taped or painted lines, and they are less likely to snag on vehicle wheels, employee feet, or other equipment.
Prevent Corner Collisions
Mark corners of aisles or walls with hazard-stripe L-shaped markers that increase visibility in areas where potential collisions could occur. Supplement corner markers with glow-in-the-dark or reflective tape along exit routes and other important areas, ensuring visibility in low-light situations or during a power outage.
From improving storage to increasing safety, corner markers made with sturdy Superior Mark® floor tape are a key part of a visual workplace. These durable, easy-to-apply shape markers supplement tape and signs to clearly communicate important messages for employees, visitors, and more.
