Thanks to Wensco Sign Supply for having Jacob Fontana and Debi Greenberg from the Plasticade team out at their recent open house.

It's always good to get out and support the distributor partners who help get our products into the hands of the people who use them every day.

You never really know what’s coming down the road when you're working in the zone all day, and that’s why being seen matters.

Our Commander™ Traffic Drum is made to take hits and and stay on the job, helping drivers see where they need to go and protecting the crews working just feet away.

Out here, durability isn’t just about how long a drum lasts, but also about keeping people safer, whether the job is on a busy highway or a two-lane road in small-town America.

Here's a quick look at some of the people who make Plasticade what it is.

Not every jobsite needs the most expensive sign stand. Sometimes you just need a reliable stand that gets the job done.

Designed to hold both 36" and 48" rigid and roll-up signs, the SS65 offers simple setup, compact storage and dependable jobsite performance at a practical price.

Campus signage has to do more than point people in the right direction; it needs to help create a smoother experience across the property by making information clear, visible, and easy to act on.

For distributors, that means looking beyond a single product and considering how multiple sign solutions can work together across the campus since bundling can generate up to 4× more revenue per order without the need to prospect for new customers.

By helping existing customers address more of their campus needs at once, you can increase order value, strengthen the customer relationship, and grow your bottom line without finding a new account.

Don’t just sell the sign they asked for. Help them complete the campus.

When you’re installing glare screen along miles of highway, anything that makes the job faster and easier matters.

Our Modular Glare Screen System stacks compactly enough to fit up to 3 miles on a single semi-truck, with no need to preassemble sections in a warehouse. Once it’s on site, the blades simply snap into place with no special tools required.

That means less prep, faster installation, and most importantly — less time workers have to spend in dangerous highway work zones.

Learn more about our Modular Glare Screen and see how it goes from warehouse to highway in the video below. 👇

The next data center project could be your next sale.

Data center construction is booming, and contractors need suppliers who can keep up. By stocking the ADA Pathcade Barricade System, you'll have the pedestrian safety solution your customers need when the job changes overnight and the schedule won't wait.

Built for active construction sites, the Pathcade System creates connected, highly visible pedestrian walkways that can be moved and reconfigured as work progresses. Whether crews are protecting utility vaults, separating foot traffic from equipment, or creating safe access around changing work zones, Pathcade Barricades helps keep the job moving safely and efficiently.

Keeping Pathcade in stock helps you respond faster, win more orders, and become the distributor contractors rely on when project schedules are tight.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence this Fourth of July, we're taking a moment to thank the men and women who have served our country.

Last month, our team had the privilege of volunteering at Leon's Triathlon alongside fellow American manufacturers Mr. Chain and The Cortina Companies, and the energy was nothing short of inspiring.

We'd love to take you behind the scenes and share a small glimpse of what we experienced working with the incredible people who make America's Race possible.

And if you're looking for a meaningful way to give back, consider volunteering with an organization that serves our veterans.

From all of us at Plasticade, thank you for your service, and have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Data center construction is booming alongside the AI infrastructure race, and these job sites bring diverse safety challenges just like any other construction environment.

Hundreds of workers, subcontractors, and delivery drivers moving through these sites daily with heavy equipment operating near public roadways. And, increasingly, construction happening alongside live operations where dust and vibration can disrupt cooling systems and sensitive hardware worth millions.
In our latest blog post, we break down how Plasticade's traffic safety products support every phase of a data center's lifecycle:

🔹 Before construction: Hydrocade™ water barricades for fast, MASH-approved perimeter control
🔹 During construction: Traffic Drums and Navicade™ channelizers for safe access routes and haul roads
🔹 After construction: Recycled rubber speed bumps and parking stops for ongoing facility safety
