Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between reflective and fluorescent material?

Reflective material is designed to return light to its source, making it especially useful at night with headlights or direct lighting. Fluorescent material instead increases visual impact mainly during the day or in diffuse light.

Which solution should I choose for trucks and trailers?

For industrial vehicles and fleets, it is best to start with ECE 104 tapes, designed for perimeter retroreflective marking.

Are there materials for jackets, uniforms and PPE?

Yes. The Reflective Fabrics section is dedicated to workwear, uniforms and technical clothing applications.

What is the quickest choice for bicycles and motorcycles?

For many users, the quickest option is reflective rim strips or ready-to-use stickers.

What if I need a ready-to-apply product?

In that case, it makes sense to start with Reflective Stickers & Shapes or Reflective Application Kits.

Where can I find high-visibility tapes and stickers for daytime marking?

For this need, the most relevant section is Fluorescent Tapes & Stickers.
