Presco Marking Flags

Since 1942, Presco has been providing surveyors, seismologists, contractors, and other professionals with top-of-the-line marking products.

Presco flags, in particular, are designed with superior quality, durability, and high visibility in mind. Surveyors, foresters, and outdoor enthusiasts, among others, can find it efficient marking objects with these flags.

If you’re in the market for high-quality marking or survey flags, read on and find out what Presco has to offer.

Types of Marking Flags

Durable and tear-resistant, Presco’s marking flags come in pretty handy for utility marking, forestry, landscaping, and other tasks that require color coding and long-lasting visibility. These flags are available in different sizes: 2″ x 3″, 4″ x 5″, and 5″ x 8″. Presco also offers marking flags in affordable packs of 1,000 pieces and custom-printed flags to suit the needs of different projects.

Solid Color

These marking flags come in bright, fade-resistant colors that follow the American Public Works Association (APWA) Uniform Color Code for Marking Underground Facilities:
  • Red: Lighting and electric power lines, cables, or conduits
  • Orange: Communication, alarm, and signal lines, cables, or conduits
  • Yellow: Gas, oil, steam, or petroleum lines
  • Blue: Drinking water
  • Purple: Reclaimed water, slurry, or irrigation
  • Green: Sewers and drainage lines
  • White: Proposed excavation
  • Pink: Temporary survey markings

High-Profile

When an area is already filled with solid color marking flags, you have to mark an object with an easily identifiable marking flag, just like Presco’s high-profile marking flags.

To stand out amid solid color marking flags, these high-profile flags are designed with stripes, which also come in different colors:
  • White/black
  • White/orange
  • Yellow/black
  • Pink glo/white
It’s worth noting that these colors do not strictly follow national color codes, so they can represent any message you need to convey to other professionals working on your project.

Day/Night

Presco’s day/night marking flags are closely similar to the high-profile flags, save for the fact that their colors are specially formulated with nighttime visibility silver ink. As a result, these day/night marking flags can bounce back beams of light toward the source for improved visibility, particularly during nighttime.

Biodegradable

Made of nonwoven cellulose-based fabric from wood pulp, Presco’s biodegradable marking flags are eco-friendly and non-toxic. Plus, they come with special 24-inch wooden flag staffs, making these flags entirely biodegradable.

Types of Marking Flag Staffs

What’s great about Presco’s marking flags is that they’re glued to their staffs instead of wrapped. That means these flags are truly tear-resistant, even in extreme weather conditions. Another great thing about these flags is that their staffs are made of incredibly durable materials:

Steel Wire

Made of high-carbon alloy steel, Presco’s steel wire staffs feature high tensile strength and bend resistance. Available lengths: 12″, 15″, 18″, 21″, 24″, 30″, and 36″

Plastic

A non-conductive material, plastic is the safest flag staff to use when working around machines and children. Available lengths: 18″, 21″, 24″, and 30″

Fiberglass

For extremely cold or hot weather, fiberglass staffs are your best option as they are highly temperature-resistant. Available lengths: 18″ and 24″
