As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, the need for clear, durable, and reliable EV charging station signage is increasing rapidly. Businesses, car parks, retail spaces, industrial sites, and fleet operators all require clearly marked bays, guidance routes, and safety messaging to ensure drivers can easily and safely navigate charging areas.
At Heskins, we provide a versatile solution that many facilities overlook: custom-printed adhesive tape. This allows you to create bold, high-visibility signage for EV charging stations without the complexity, delays, or cost associated with permanent painted markings or rigid signs.
Our tapes offer durability, clarity, and flexibility – making them an ideal choice for modern charging environments.
Why Tape Is an Effective Signage Solution for EV Charging Stations
Traditional signage options can require specialist installation, long drying times, or disruptive surface preparation. Tape, by contrast, offers a highly practical alternative that still delivers exceptional performance.
Here’s why many facilities choose tape-based signage:
- Quick, Clean, and Cost-Effective Installation
Heskins tapes can be installed with minimal preparation and without the need to close large sections of a car park. They adhere quickly and can be walked or driven over shortly after installation.
- Designed for Long-Term Use
Our tapes are manufactured to withstand demanding environments. They resist abrasion, weathering, moisture, oils, chemicals, and regular foot or vehicle traffic. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor charging locations.
- Professional Presentation
Printed and coloured tapes provide clear, crisp graphics, improving visibility and reducing confusion for EV drivers. Whether highlighting bays, directing traffic, or offering safety guidance, tape delivers a professional finish.
- Easy to Update as Requirements Evolve
Because EV infrastructure continues to expand and change, many facilities need adaptable solutions. Tape can be replaced, repositioned, or redesigned far more easily than painted markings or thermoplastic systems.
Tape Options Suitable for EV Charging Bay Signage
Heskins manufactures a broad range of marking, non-slip, and specialist tapes suitable for electric vehicle areas. Depending on the environment, layout, and intended function, one or more of the following may be ideal:
PermaRoute® Marking Tape
A robust, laminated floor marking material ideal for:
- Bay demarcation
- Directional arrows
- Parking guidance
- Charger identification
Its durability makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic, indoor locations such as multi-storey car parks or covered charging areas.
Safety-Grip™ Anti-Slip Tape
Perfect for zones where slip resistance is essential, such as pedestrian paths around chargers or areas where charging cables may create a trip hazard. Available in:
- Standard
- Coarse
- Extra Coarse
- Glow-in-the-Dark
- Hazard stripes
The glow-in-the-dark variants are especially useful in low-light car parks, offering clear visibility at night.
Aqua Safe® Non-Abrasive Tape
Suitable for smooth or glossy indoor surfaces where easy cleaning and a more subtle finish are required. Often used around wall-mounted chargers or indoor charging pods.
Reflective Tape
Helps drivers locate charging bays more easily in dim conditions. Reflective marking also improves safety when navigating charging zones at night.
Each tape is available in a range of sizes, colours, and shapes – ensuring total flexibility for layout design.
Custom Printed Tape: Bespoke Signage for Modern Charging Networks
Heskins offers full custom printing across a wide selection of tapes. Using advanced print technology, we can produce sharp, high-definition graphics tailored to your site or brand.
You can customise:

Custom-printed tape helps maintain consistency across multiple charging locations, supports brand identity, and ensures drivers immediately recognise EV spaces.
