I have been asked to find a supplier for marking tape numbers --  cloth-back tape that has already been cut into the shape of numbers for the dance floor.

I have checked my usual suspects and have come up empty. Anyone aware of a vendor who sells something like this.

I have been told that they appeared at the most recent USITT conference but no one seems to know who the vendor was.

Please give me a shout if you know!

An easier option would be to find a parent who has a craft paper/vinyl cutting machine (Silhouette or a Cricut). Design and cut your numbers yourself, using whatever colored vinyl you choose. 

A few years back, I made my own numbers for the front of our stage, using glow in the dark vinyl, then cut it out with a Silhouette Cameo machine. Works very well.

I have found a vendor who sells glow-tape numbers! That will work just fine.

Look at Brady, the monochromatic (White, Yellow, Black, Blue, Red, etc.) are pre-cut letters of several sizes (you have to drill down a bit to get to the size information).  Or the rectangular labels (which are easier to apply uniformly) are the two color types (Black on Yellow, etc.).

Numbers and Letters Labels - BRADY Bradys numbers and letters can be used to stick to and label tool cribs, bins, shelves, poles, panels, switches, equipment and more. View this on Bradyid >

Another good use for these labels is for the stage rigging system:

• Label each Take-up block, each counterweight carriage (Arbor), and each loft block with line set numbers.
• Label each batten at the ends and middle (usually on the upstage lower quadrant of the batten) so you can identify them in the loft.
• Label the floor directly under each end of the batten (helps people find the right place from the floor).
