Heskins Custom Printed Starting Blocks Anti-Slip Tape for BMX, Athletics and Swimming
Heskins Custom Printed Starting Blocks are self-adhesive anti-slip coverings for the start areas of competitive sport: BMX Supercross start ramps, running track start and finish lines, and swimming starting blocks and diving boards. They are made from Heskins SafetyGrip, the same abrasive anti-slip tape used on industrial stairs and walkways, so athletes get reliable traction at the moment of the start, including in wet conditions.
Each block is pre-printed with the gate or lane number and is applied by sticking it down in front of the required gate. Because the print is produced in-house, the design is fully customisable: sponsor logos, event names, colours and graphics can be included to suit the branding of a venue, team or event. Heskins prints high-definition graphics on SafetyGrip in sizes up to 10 m x 10 m, in all colours, with Pantone and other colour-reference matching. For swimming blocks and diving boards, where bare skin contacts the surface, non-abrasive options are available. Standard designs are dispatched within 10 days of order. Heskins supplied starting block coverings for the London 2012 Olympics and the Baku 2015 games. Made in the UK by Heskins.
