How retro-reflection works
Millions of tiny glass beads bounce light back towards its source. When car headlights hit a garment decorated with RF vinyl, the driver sees a bright, clearly defined logo or stripe – even at night and from a long distance.
Luminous colours
The luminous variants combine reflective beads with photoluminescent pigments that charge in daylight and glow softly afterwards, adding visibility in low-light situations.
Applications
- Running, cycling and outdoor sportswear
- Safety vests, workwear and uniforms
- Bags, backpacks, pet accessories and children's clothing
Note: decorative reflective vinyl adds visibility but is not a substitute for certified EN ISO 20471 high-visibility PPE.
