Why Our TestPost® Markers are Better
Premium Construction–outdoor durable marker posts feature Lexan polycarbonate cap and 100% prime high-density polyethylene body. The UV-stabilized plastics prevent warping and are designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments for 20-20+ years.
Embedded Graphics–unlike surface or screen-printed marker posts, our custom graphics are permanently molded into the polyethylene material. Graphics won't fade, chip or peel and cannot be scratched off, ensuring your underground utility remains clearly marked. Permanent printing will even withstand harsh solvents used for removing graffiti.
Color Legends–high-visibility colors conform to US DOT regulations. Available in APWA uniform color codes (see chart below).
