Product Description

Presco Nursery Roll Flagging Tape is a non-adhesive PVC ribbon used extensively in the landscape, nursery, and gardening industries. Slit to a narrow 1/2 in. width, this tape is designed to protect seedlings, saplings, and other delicate plants while still providing the high visibility marking professionals expect from Presco. Easy to identify and easy to use, just tie and untie.

Produced with taffeta grade extruded PVC film, Presco custom formulates the film with added plasticizer packages that yield maximum physical properties including tensile strength, cold crack resistance, and UV stability. Standard colors are extruded at 2.5 mil thickness on 300 ft. rolls, while the brighter PresGlo neon colors are produced at 4.5 mil with heavy embossing on 150 ft. rolls for added visibility in low-light field conditions.

Manufactured in Sherman, Texas, Presco is the world's most asked-for flagging tape brand among industry professionals in surveying, construction, forestry, nursery, mining, geophysics, and oil exploration.

Product Features

  • Non-adhesive PVC film flagging ribbon
  • 1/2 in. narrow width to protect delicate plants
  • 2.5 mil thickness for standard colors (300 ft. rolls)
  • 4.5 mil thickness with heavy embossing for PresGlo neon colors (150 ft. rolls)
  • UV stable, non-toxic vinyl construction
  • 11 high-visibility color options: blue, green, orange, pink, red, white, yellow, neon green, neon lime, neon orange, and neon pink
  • 1-1/2 in. diameter core, shipped on either a neutral or Presco-branded core

Common Applications

  • Marking seedlings, saplings, and bare-root stock in tree nurseries
  • Color coding plant varieties and inventory in landscape operations
  • Identifying trees for trimming, pruning, removal, or transplanting
  • Marking irrigation lines, drip stakes, and bed boundaries
  • Tagging plants during garden tours, surveys, and grafting work
  • Trail and property line marking where minimal visual impact is preferred
Country of Origin: United States.

Instructions

  1. Pull the desired length of tape from the roll.
  2. Tear or cut the tape from the roll at the length needed.
  3. Loop the tape around the branch, stem, stake, or marker you want to identify.
  4. Tie a single overhand or square knot to secure the tape in place. Leave the tails long enough to be seen from a distance.
  5. If desired, write on the tape with a permanent marker. The embossed surface will accept ink but may not appear as smooth as paper.
  6. To remove, simply untie the knot and discard or reuse the tape. No adhesive residue is left behind on the plant.
  7. For belt-carry, mount the roll on a Presco Roll Flagging Belt Dispenser (sold separately) for hands-free dispensing in the field.

QUESTION: can you write on it with a sharpie?
ANSWER: Presco's flagging tape is constructed from a non-adhesive embossed plastic-like material/carrier so while you can write on it with a Sharpie the material would not be completely smooth because of the embossing. Thank you.

User Reviews

Made in the USA
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
