Badminton court line tape is a specialized marking solution designed to clearly define the boundaries and divisions of a standard badminton court, in compliance with international standards set by governing bodies like the Badminton World Federation (BWF). This tape is essential for accurately marking courts in professional tournaments, training sessions, and recreational play.
Made from high-quality materials, badminton court line tape is typically composed of durable, wear-resistant PVC or similar synthetic compounds that can withstand the friction and impact caused by continuous footwork, racquet contact, and shuttle drops. The surface of the tape is smooth yet slip-resistant to ensure player safety, minimizing the risk of slipping while providing a visual guide for court boundaries. The tape comes with a strong adhesive backing that allows for secure attachment to a variety of indoor flooring surfaces such as wood, vinyl, and synthetic sports floors. This adhesive is formulated to offer a firm grip while being removable without causing damage to the floor surface when necessary.
The width of the tape adheres to international specifications, generally measuring 40 mm (approximately 1.57 inches) to ensure high visibility during play. The color of the tape, often white or yellow, is chosen to provide a sharp contrast against standard court floor colors for maximum visibility under various lighting conditions. The lines created by this tape define all critical areas of a badminton court, including sidelines, baselines, center lines, short service lines, and doubles service lines, facilitating correct gameplay and officiating.
Designed for both temporary and semi-permanent installations, badminton court line tape allows venues to adapt multipurpose sports halls into badminton courts efficiently. Its flexibility and strength make it suitable for high-traffic environments, ensuring that lines remain intact and visible over extended periods of use.
