Wire Striping Service
Overview
International Wire & Cable provides jacket striping for durable, high-visibility identification. We offer spiral (helical) and longitudinal patterns with dependable color consistency and repeatable placement. Note that longitudinal options are more limited than spiral striping. Pair striping with our cutting and packaging options to receive material production-ready.
Striping Methods
Custom mixed patterns or placements can be produced from a drawing or sample.
