Bespoke Tapes for Every Application

Not every job suits a standard roll of tape. Whether you need slim strips for stair nosings, reflective safety lines on vehicles, or glow-in-the-dark markers for evacuation routes, the right width makes all the difference.

At Heskins, we’ve invested in specialist crush cutting machinery that lets us cut a wide range of tapes to your exact requirements. From as narrow as 10mm to rolls over a metre wide, we deliver custom solutions that save time, reduce waste, and improve safety.

Why Custom Widths Matter

Ordering the size you need means:

  • Less waste – no trimming strips down on site.

  • Faster installation – perfectly sized rolls speed up application.

  • Improved safety – narrow or wide strips fitted exactly where needed.

  • Cleaner finish – professional, design-friendly appearance.

If you’ve ever cut down tape manually, you know how messy, time-consuming, and inconsistent it can be. Our service eliminates that problem.

What We Can Crush Cut

Our crush cutters don’t just handle abrasive tapes. We can cut:

  • Safety-Grip™ anti-slip tapes – heavy-duty abrasive solutions for stairs, ramps, and factories.

  • Non-abrasive grip tapes – skin-friendly for gyms, waterparks, and healthcare environments.

  • Reflective tapes – for vehicles, trailers, loading bays, and low-light areas.

  • Glow-in-the-dark tapes – to mark evacuation routes, stairwells, and emergency exits.

  • Floor marking tapes – perfect for 5S lean environments, walkways, and production zones.

  • Specialist signage materials – to achieve clean borders and precise fits.

All crush cutting is done in-house at our UK facility, ensuring consistent quality and fast turnaround.
