Product Description
Flashback® Fluorescent UV Cloth Marking Tape is a bright neon cloth tape for temporary stage marking, event marking, site marking, colour coding, identification and visual reference marking. The fluorescent colours stand out clearly in normal light and become more vivid under UV light / blacklight, making it useful for stage marks, backstage reference points, blacklight events, UV décor, installation work, inspections, workshops, warehouses, glass fitting, maintenance tasks and general worksite use.
This tape is designed for quick, practical marking jobs where you need a bright visual cue that can be applied by hand. It tears easily without scissors, can be written on with a permanent marker and is useful for marking positions, routes, reference points, tools, parts, equipment, glass, frames, panels, work areas and suitable clean surfaces.
Available in pink, green, yellow and orange, each roll measures 25 yd / 22.8 m. The tape is suitable for many short-term stage, event, trade, workshop and creative uses where a high-visibility marking tape is needed.
Also known as UV reactive tape, blacklight tape, fluorescent cloth tape, neon marking tape, temporary marking tape, stage marking tape, spike tape and temporary site marking tape.

FAQ
Does this tape glow without UV light?
The fluorescent colours are bright and highly visible in normal light, but the vivid glow effect requires a UV light or blacklight. This is UV-reactive fluorescent tape, not photoluminescent glow-in-the-dark tape.
Is this tape suitable for temporary marking?
Yes, it is designed for temporary marking, colour coding and identification. Suitability depends on the surface, temperature, environment, pressure and length of time applied.
Can I write on the tape?
Yes, the cloth surface can be written on with a permanent marker such as a Sharpie.
Can this be used as stage marking tape or spike tape?
Yes, it can be used for temporary stage marks, position marks and backstage reference points on suitable clean, dry surfaces. Always test first and check regularly during use.
Does this tape remove cleanly from glass?
For short-term marking on clean glass or metal, it is often suitable for temporary use, but adhesive behaviour and removal can vary. Always test first, especially on delicate, painted, polished, coated or porous surfaces.
Can it be used on floors or stage areas?
It may be used for temporary reference marking on suitable clean, dry surfaces, including some floors and stage areas. It is not sold as anti-slip tape, hazard tape, permanent floor marking tape or certified safety tape. Always test first, press edges down firmly and check regularly during use.
What surfaces can it be used on?
It can be used on many clean, dry surfaces such as glass, metal, frames, doors, panels, tools, boxes and equipment. Always test before use.
Important Note
This tape is UV-reactive. A UV light or blacklight is required for the strongest glow effect. It does not glow by itself in darkness after charging.
As with all cloth tapes, light adhesive residue may remain if left in place for extended periods or exposed to heat. Results can vary depending on the surface, pressure, temperature, environment and length of application.
This tape is not sold as anti-slip tape, hazard tape, permanent floor marking tape or certified safety tape. Always test on your specific surface before use.
