At Pedon Tape™, we believe fieldwork should be clear, practical, and easy to document.

Pedon Tape™ is a professional soil profile tape (also called a soil picture tape or pedon tape) purpose-built for measuring, documenting, and teaching soil profiles. Designed to be positioned vertically against an exposed soil profile, it provides a clear visual reference for identifying, measuring, discussing, and documenting soil conditions in the field.

A Better Way to Measure and Document Soil

Traditional field documentation can mean constantly measuring, referencing, and trying to capture scale in photographs. Pedon Tape™ brings a highly visible measuring scale directly to the soil profile, making field observations easier to see, discuss, and document.

With bold black-and-white markings, 2-inch graduations, an 8-foot measuring distance, and a reinforced sewn top with large grommets for easy edge placement, Pedon Tape™ is built for practical field use.

One Tool. Many Applications.

Pedon Tape™ is designed to support professionals, educators, students, and organizations working with soil profiles across a range of applications, including:

    • Soil Science
    • Environmental & Site Work
    • Government & Conservation
    • Education
    • Soil Judging
    • Agriculture

Whether you're conducting field evaluations, teaching soil science, documenting site conditions, or evaluating a soil profile, Pedon Tape™ provides a simple, consistent visual reference.

Made for Real Fieldwork

We designed Pedon Tape™ with the realities of fieldwork in mind—where visibility, durability, and straightforward measurements matter.

It's purpose-built, easy to read, and ready to go where the work takes you.
