Line marking is commonly done with a line marking machine. This machine can create a smooth and consistently even line, and is much better than marking out lines by hand.
Simple line marking machines are often a hand-guided trolley design that you push to mark out your lines. More complex machines can include ride-on designs that make it easier to line mark large areas such as large warehouses and shopping centre carparks.
In some cases, a range of stencils are combined withe line marking machine to create more complex or specific shapes and symbols. Further, where you require a unique shape or message, custom stencils can be created for anything outside the standard range.
When purchasing a line marking machine, you should consider:
the construction of the machine and whether it is heavy-duty enough for your purposes
if the machine includes guides that make it easy to mark straight lines, important when you may be marking out large amounts of area such as in a carpark
the type of paint that the machine can accept (such as water-based or thermoplastic
the paint litre capacity of the machine. A higher capacity means you can mark more lines before you need to refill
the manufacturer warranty and support for the machine
