Terra Tape® is the industry leader in high quality underground detectable and non-detectable marking tapes. Terra Tape® can prevent the dangers of digging into buried lines of all types. Avoid service interruptions, unnecessary loss of revenue and repair expenses that occur when a buried utility is damaged. Terra Tape® underground marking tapes are specified the world over to protect against accidental dig-ins and to alert workers of buried pipes and cables.
Installed 18" or more above the utility, Terra Tape® warns those digging above the lines to proceed with caution.
Available in seven grades, Terra Tape® underground marking tape offers five non-detectable and two detectable grades for your specific application. A wide variety of stock items are available for immediate shipment. Custom sizes and/or printing in any imprint or logo and in any language and in up to 4 ink colors are also available. Custom printing available with minimum order, plate charges and/or ink charges may apply.
All Terra Tape® underground marking tapes are extrusion laminated and the tape color is 100% pigmented plastic not an ink coating as with many manufacturers. Grades are available in standard APWA color codes.

Non-Detectable Underground Warning Tapes (cannot be located with a pipe & cable locator)
- Extra Stretch™ provides the maximum protection from service interruption dig-ins. When dug up with a backhoe, it will stretch up and out of the ground in one continuous piece alerting the operator to stop digging immediately. Extra Stretch™ underground warning tape is the only product available with the unique combination of high puncture resistance, high tensile strength and high elongation. Extra Stretch™ is ideal for static or vibratory cable plow installations.
- Premium is a product with very good tensile strength and very high elongation. Premium is also suitable for static or vibratory cable plow installations.
- Standard is a medium gauge product designed to suit your budget and lesser project requirements. Can be used for static cable plow installations.
- Economy is a light gauge product designed for your budget.
- Extra Strength is a woven underground warning tape with extremely high tensile strength but with limited elogation. Although it can be plowed with ease, it is not as good a choice as Extra Stretch™ for preventing dig-ins because it lacks Extra Stretch™'s ability to stretch up out of the ground in one piece.
Detectable Underground Warning Tapes (locatable with a pipe & cable locator)
- Sentry Line Reinforced is the premium detectable tape on the market today. With its superior tensile strength and puncture resistance it can stand up to the most difficult installations without breaking.
- Sentry Line is similar to Sentry Line Reinforced tape but with lower tensile strength and puncture resistance.
