Trade fairs, exhibitions and festivals are large-scale, short-lived events that can accommodate a large number of people, regardless of the sector of activity (commercial, cultural or musical). The delimitation of traffic routes and the posting of clear and visible signs to guide the crowds are therefore fundamental needs.
To meet these needs, event organizers can use fluorescent spray paints that will fade quickly.

Ground markings are an ideal way to improve the visibility of the course during running events such as half-marathons and marathons, for example by indicating the number of kilometers to be covered / remaining.
The ground marking also represents a good way for a brand or a sponsor to affix its logo during a sporting event.
As these events usually gather a large number of participants (several hundreds or even thousands), the marking must be resistant to the passage.

Trails are "off-road" races that take place on paths, tracks or roads. Although most of the time they take place in the mountains, they can also take place on flat, hilly or alpine terrain, small paths in urban parks, forest roads on the mountainside, local dirt roads, etc.
To guarantee the safety of the participants and to show them the way, the routes will be marked with markings that are visible from a distance and resistant to passage and bad weather.
Although night trails are rare, they do exist. It is therefore essential to indicate the possible risks present on the course with the help of night visible marking products.
