Reflective tape improves visibility in a variety of locations and lighting conditions in order to prevent accidents and injuries. It consists of a highly reflective, chemical-, UV-, and weather-resistant top layer, backed with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Some reflective tapes carry warranties of up to ten years.

For more reflectivity, conspicuity tape featuring micro-prism reflective elements creates a mirror-like surface suitable for extra-brightness and long-distance visibility that reflects at all angles.

Types of Reflective Tape
Reflective safety tape is often placed on the backs and sides of trucks, trailers, and construction equipment or other vehicles, but reflecting tape isn’t just for the roadway: It’s also important to bring attention to warehouse machinery such as forklifts, pallet jacks, hoists, and service carts. While reflective tape has a long lifespan, the application will last the longest when using tape designed for the intended application conditions. Ensure you’ve selected outdoor-rated tape for outdoor use, such as at loading docks, on trailers, or to bring attention to traffic barriers.

We carry a variety of reflective tape options, including:

Glow-in-the-dark reflective tape
Retroreflective tape
Striped barricade tape
Vehicle conspicuity tape
Reflective barrel tape
DOT truck tape
Engineering-grade reflective tape
Striped or solid-color reflective tape
Reflective Versus Retroreflective
While similar in design and use, there are differences between reflective and retroreflective tape. Reflective tape acts more like a mirror: It bounces reflected light, scattering it in different directions depending on where the original light comes from. Retroreflective tape, however, features a prismatic surface that directs light back toward its original source, making it easier to identify what and where the reflection comes from. Prismatic retroreflective tape offers an incredibly bright reflection for greatly improved visibility.
