Utility Markers and Marking Systems

Introduction to Utility Markers

Utility markers are invaluable to keep your assets from accidental damage and harm.  We understand the need for clearly labeled, highly visible markers, but we differentiate ourselves on the superb durability of Frick utility marker products.  Our rugged and durable utility markers are tested and ready to withstand extreme temperatures, direct and continuous sunlight, heavy impacts and more. These markers have been tested to be vehicle collision resistant, abrasion resistant, weather resistant and more.

Utility Marker Materials

We make our utility markers durable, ultraviolet fade resistant, and extreme temperature resistant to make costly re-markings unnecessary. Our signs, tags, markers, labels and other products are easy-to-install and can be built in a wide variety of materials for maximum service life. We provide a wide range of materials for marking systems including polyethylene, Lexan, fiberglass, brushed aluminum, stainless steel, and UV inhibiting plastics.

New Utility Markers Technology

William Frick is constantly changing and improving our technology.  RFID in utility markers is a rapidly changing field, and one where William Frick leads the industry.  Just in the last year, we have introduced RFID enabled pole tags where data is encoded in barcode, long range visual and RFID format.  We also outfit our TestPost utility markers with RFID capability to save time and minimize errors by linesmen.
