What is PVC reflective tape?
PVC reflective tape is a flexible and durable material made of PVC with a special reflective surface that reflects light and enhances visibility in dark environments.
PVC reflective tape is typically composed of two materials: a PVC sheet with microprisms and a regular PVC base film, which are pressed together at high temperatures.
Advantages of MAX PVC reflective tape
- High reflectivity: 15-1200cd/liter/square meter. Different colors have different reflectivity, especially the currently popular white, fluorescent yellow and other colors, the reflectivity can reach 700-1200CPL.
- Cold resistance: Under laboratory conditions, it will not crack at -5℃ and can withstand high temperatures of -30℃.
- Washable: In accordance with the reflective requirements for new stand-alone performance reflective materials (EN ISO 20471:2013/EN ISO 10471:2016) 6.1 and 7.3, it is recommended to sew a seal on the clothing or fabric to facilitate washing.
- Various colors: Custom color. The darker the color, the lower the reflectivity.
- Texture and visual effect: PVC surface is smooth and has a reflective effect. Fluorescent yellow or fluorescent orange reflective PVC tape has eye-catching colors and is most effective in warning during the day.

How PVC reflective tape works
PVC reflective tape utilizes retroreflective technology to enhance visibility in low-light environments significantly. PVC reflective tape utilizes thousands of tiny glass beads or micro-prisms embedded in a PVC base to reflect light toward the source.
When a light source (such as a car headlight or flashlight) shines onto the reflective tape, the light is reflected directly back, creating a visible halo that can be seen from a distance, alerting drivers, pedestrians, or operators to nearby objects or hazards.
This retro-reflective property makes the tape visible even in low-light conditions, and the warning effect is most evident during daylight hours.
The combination of reflective properties, durability, and ease of use makes PVC reflective tape a robust and reliable safety solution for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Why should the PVC sheet with microprisms be hot pressed with the bottom film into a complete long strip?
- Increase firmness
- The bottom film protects the microprism PVC material, prevents scratches on the bottom, and reduces reflected light.
- Easy to sew
- Use heat-pressing sealing, waterproof
PVC reflective tape in multiple colors
Our PVC reflective tape offers an unparalleled advantage with a wide range of color options, including customizable tints, to fit your specific needs.
Wide range of color options for versatile designs

Custom colors to match your brand
We offer custom color matching services to seamlessly blend reflective tape with your brand logo or product design.
The darker the color, the lower the reflectivity
Light tints, such as white and silver, offer the highest reflectivity in low-light environments for optimal safety. While darker colors are less reflective, they are stylish and still meet safety requirements in many situations.
Choosing the right balance of color and reflectivity ensures you get the perfect choice for your specific application.
Customize your PVC reflective tape
To meet the diverse needs of different markets and groups, as the guardian of reflective materials, we will also strive to provide a range of solutions.
FAQ's about PVC reflective tape
To ensure that it meets the unique needs of your project and provides the highest level of safety and durability, it is critical to choose the right PVC reflective tape. When choosing reflective tape, there are several factors to consider, depending on the intended use, environment, and regulatory requirements.
1: Consider the level of reflectivity
Reflective tape is designed to reflect light, but the intensity of the reflection can vary. The reflectivity depends on the microprism or glass bead technology used in the reflective tape construction. The higher the reflectivity of the reflective tape, the more visible the surface will be in low-light conditions.
2: Choose the right color to improve visibility
Reflective tape comes in many colors, and the darker the color, the lower the reflectivity. Fluorescent yellow or fluorescent orange reflective PVC tape, which is eye-catching in color and has the most obvious warning effect during the day, is more attractive than ordinary silver or gray reflective strips.
3: Consider durability and weather resistance
Reflective tape should be durable enough to withstand the environmental conditions in which it will be used. If it will be exposed to adverse weather conditions, such as high temperatures, rain, or direct sunlight, choose weather-resistant reflective tape.
Reflective tape comes in a variety of widths and lengths, which can be selected according to the size of the marking surface. If you need to cover a large area, you may need a wider tape roll. Narrower tape is best for marking smaller objects or edges. MAX can provide you with a full range of customized services.
Gentle cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the reflective tape. Wet it with a mild soap mixed with warm water. Avoid scrubbing hard, which may damage the surface.
Avoid using harsh chemicals: Do not use strong solvents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as they will break down the adhesive and reflective layer. For safe cleaning, use a mild detergent.
Store in a cool and dry place: Store the tape away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Excessive heat or UV exposure will weaken the adhesive and reduce the reflective properties of the tape.
Avoid direct pressure: Store the tape flat or rolled to avoid creases or damage. Do not place heavy objects on the tape, as this may cause the tape to deform or the bonding quality to deteriorate.
