Sports line marking is an industry which flies somewhat under the radar. Although millions of us across the world benefit from the services provided by professional line marking companies, we rarely take the time to appreciate quite what a fine job they do.
There are a number of suppliers who have developed their own specialist line marking equipment which can work on practically any surface from grass surfaces to concrete surfaces. There are a wide range of applicators available, some which work manually, whilst others are electrically powered for larger surfaces. Not only does this make quick work of almost any task, they are also simple to use, leaving groundsmen to merely plug the paint into the machine and away they go.
Services are used by a wide range of clients, from schools and public sector organizations to some of the world's most famous sporting venues. One of the services which is becoming more and more popular is the painting of intricate team logos, associations or sponsors onto the field of play. For any of you who like your cricket, particularly in South Africa, you will surely have seen the Castle Lager logo emblazoned on many of the pitches for thousands to see.
In the majority of cases, a graphic will be supplied to the company by the customer. This graphic can then be reproduced by the line marking team, along with any text that should accompany the graphic. These graphics can be recreated extremely accurately due to the vast array of paint colour options available, creating a thoroughly professional finish.
As well as paints for grass, most suppliers will also manufacture paints which have been specifically designed for use on hard courts or artificial grass. The leading manufacturers of line marking paints take their environmental responsibilities particularly seriously by producing xylene free and ozone compliant aerosol paints, which work alongside specialist applicators and stencils.
The machines for use on indoor sports pitches are not quite so advanced as grass marking machines, as often the area which requires marking is smaller and lines more intricate. Traditionally this can be best achieved with a pedestrian wheel applicator or hand applicator.
The industry is particularly fast moving, with the industry's leading suppliers committed to ongoing investment in research and development. The very best will even have their own team of in-house chemists, who are constantly striving to improve the performance of their products.
