Barrier tape
A barrier tape (also warning tape , routing tape , warning leash , fluttering line or fluttering tape ) is a plastic tape , usually in two colors , which is cross-striped , which is used to spatially cordon off areas of operation and danger . The first barrier tape in red and white was developed in 1962 by Werner Sporleder († May 21, 2019).
Since the barrier tape can be easily damaged or removed and has no retroreflection, it is only suitable for marking or optical guidance in daylight. Effective barriers or fall protection cannot be created with a barrier tape, so that, for example, it is not permitted to use it to secure excavations in street areas.
The industry offers a variety of different color and pattern combinations for the respective purposes. The barrier tape is usually rolled up on a roll in lengths of 250 or 500 meters. The width can be between five and eight centimeters so that it is clearly visible in connection with signal colors . Depending on the application, the barrier tape can be provided with an additional explanatory or warning label that indicates the purpose or the organization, for example “attention”, “construction site”, “police cordon” or “forensics”.

Ribbons in the forest and when hunting
For use in the forest and when hunting , paper tapes are preferred that do not pose any problems for the environment, as they are decomposed in a relatively short time and can enter the natural cycle. They are mostly monochrome and approx. 20 mm wide. They are used by hunters as an alternative or replacement to fractional symbols . They are definitely more conspicuous than fractions, but not appropriate to the needs of the population .
