In the Reflective Films category, Print Equipment offers you suitable solutions for your needs. In the Reflective Films category you'll find the right foundation for safety-relevant textile projects.
What defines reflective films?
Reflective films contain a light-reflecting coating that specifically reflects incident light – for example from headlights. A suitable processing method is decisive for a reliable safety design on your textile.
The typical use of a reflective film is clearly structured:
- The suitable version is selected according to design and application
- The design is printed or cut out with the cutting plotter
- The design is transferred to the textile at the appropriate temperature using a heat press
- After cooling, the reflective design is firmly in place and ready for use
Reflective films thus ideally complement our film range and are a sensible addition to our cutting plotters.
Why reflective films are indispensable
Reflective films play an important role for safety in the dark and in poor visibility. Only with reliable reflection can the detectability of people in road traffic or during emergency operations be significantly increased.
The most important advantages include:
- Increased visibility: Reliable light reflection in the dark and in poor visibility conditions
- Versatile processing: Both printable and cuttable with the cutting plotter
- Safety certification: Silver variants certified to DIN EN471 for protective clothing. Your individual purpose of use is decisive for the choice.
- Broad textile compatibility: Suitable for cotton, polyester and blended fabrics
- Ideal for safety-relevant applications: Popular for work, emergency and sports apparel
This makes reflective films indispensable both for everyday visibility designs and for certified protective clothing.
