We stock cones that meet MUTCD size and visibility requirements. Many also include reflective collars for nighttime use. Always check the specific model specs and your state\/local requirements.<\/dd>\r\n \t<dt>What base weight should I use for my cones?<\/dt>\r\n \t<dd>Lighter base weights (e.g., for 18\u2033 cones) are fine for indoor or low-speed areas. For higher-speed roads or windy conditions, choose heavier bases (10\u201312 lb for 28\u2033\/36\u2033, or 30 lb for 42\u2033). See our main Traffic Cones lineup for details.<\/dd>\r\n \t<dt>Can I get a custom logo printed on the cones?<\/dt>\r\n \t<dd>Absolutely. We offer customization (no setup fee, no minimums). Visit our custom-printing product page to upload your artwork and choose your ink colors.<\/dd>\r\n \t<dt>When do I need reflective collars?<\/dt>\r\n \t<dd>If your work zone operates at night or in low-light conditions, reflective collars are strongly recommended and often required. For example, 18\u2033 cones need one 6\u2033 collar; 28\u2033 and 36\u2033 cones need two (4\u2033 and 6\u2033). Check your state DOT for details.<\/dd>\r\n<\/dl>\r\n<\/section><section class=\"final-cta text-center\" aria-labelledby=\"cta-heading\">\r\n<h2 id=\"cta-heading\" class=\"visually-hidden\">Order Traffic Cones<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"cta-intro\">Ready to place your order or need personalized guidance?<\/p>\r\n<a class=\"button cta-button\" href=\"tel:+18004299030\">Call us at 800-429-9030<\/a>\r\n<p class=\"cta-note\">Prefer online?
