Reflective Sheeting

As we all know, it is necessary to have the registration number plate from the government for cars, taxis motorcycles, trucks, and buses all over the world, and each plate number is unique and trackable. Most of the number plate is using reflective sheeting material with aluminum or plastic acrylic plate for safety purposes, the rest of the countries are using normal vinyl. Each country has their rule to form the numbers, for example in Spain, is composed of different numbers and three letters, it contains useful information about that car, such as owner information, the country from which it comes. In Spain, for instance, a registration number plate with the format H 1111 BBB, it means a vehicle classified as historical; if the number is in red, this is diplomatic corps, whereas numbers in blue means a car are using for commercial purposes, such as taxis or VTCs. The most common number plates composed of four numbers, three letters in blue, are private cars which European Union country cars, the materials are laser reflective sheeting with laser printing feature, cover and protect with clear acrylic plate.XW Reflective manufacturer provides kinds of reflective acrylic sheeting and reflective vinyl for num plate, customized reflective vinyl material is avaliable too.

Reflective advertising materials are currently one of the most popular material over the world. They can be used in billboards, car body advertisements, murals, signs, scaffolding, inflatable billboards, window display pictures, banners and posters, stage backgrounds, etc. The visual impact of reflective material is strong, allowing consumers to see such ads as quickly as possible, and improve the effectiveness of advertising. Usually, people print ads on reflective film to achieve reflective effects. More Efficient And Economics As all we know, 90% of advertising cost is for advertising place. So if we pay for 24 hours but the advertising only available in daytime - a huge wasted. Traditional material advertisement have a low visible at night, an external light source or an internal light source may help it a lot. But light source will turn off after midnight for energy saving. This disguised increase the cost of advertising. Relatively speaking, reflective sheeting advertising can reflect passing vehicle's light and achieve high-intensity, long-distance visible advertising effects. It has a much better effect than tradition material, whenever daytime or nighttime. Since there is no need to prepare the light source specifically for it, the installation cost, maintenance cost, and use cost are greatly reduced. XW3300 reflective sheeting at daytime XW3300 reflective sheeting at nighttime Energy Saving And Environment-friendly No extra light source does not only mean lower cost but also mean energy saving. Except for passing vehicles, the pedestrian can also clearly see the reflection of the same direction light source of themselves, such as street light. Reflective sheeting advertising does not require energy consumption, so it's more environmentally friendly. Good For Road Traffic Safety Wrong use of lightbox advertising has caused many security incidents. People's attention is limited, and attention at night is easily attracted by the light source, then miss important traffic signs. Reflective Sheeting From XW For Advertising XW3300 is designed for an inkjet printing, but not good for UV printing XW3102 is the best choice for UV Printing XW3200 made with the acrylic surface, suitable for screen printing. XW5200 also suitable for screen printing. But it has a better reflective performance. XW3100 and XW5100 both cool for plotter cutting. You can go to our Advertising Feature Page for more details.

The retroreflective film using glass microspheres (reflective index glass beads) produced with a different technology: direct coating of the microspheres into the surface layer, such as XW7200 engineer grade reflective sheeting; using an air capsule between the surface layer and microspheres as a reflecting element, eg XW1800 high-intensity grade reflective sheeting. Reflective materials (reflective sheeting and reflective fabric) are widely used in traffic safety and personal safety. To classify the different types of reflective sheeting, it is using the degree of reflection value, also durability, flexibility, impact resistance, etc. In the production of Engineer grade reflective sheeting, required for 7 years outdoor, always need to apply the front transparent PMMA resin layer, in which glass beaded is immersed uniformly. Then, the PMMA resin layer applied amalgam reflector, then pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a protective substrate are made of cardboard with a double-sided polyethylene coating.

Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting is required to meet ASTM D4956 Type I, EN12899 RA1, GB/T 18833-2012 Type I, it is an enclosed glass beaded film or prismatic optical, called Engineer Grade Prismatic. XW7200 Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting is used on the non-critical street and road signs, such as temporary construction sign, parking sign, wayfinding signs. Standard roll size is 1.24M width, 45.7M length, colors are white, yellow, red, blue, green and brown. Besides, apply to traffic signage, XW 7200 engineer grade reflective sheeting also apply to reflective stickers and decals on the helmet, vehicle promotion, banners, etc. It can be screen printing, cut-able by die cutter or a vinyl plotter, to produce designed shape according to customer needs. Since the reflective sheeting is using outside, it needs good weather resistant, we apply the permanent sensitive adhesive, PMMA solvent based, it passed the artificial accelerated weathering, exposure for 1000 hours of Xenon Accelerated Weathering per ISO 4892-2:2006 / Amd.1:2009 cycle 1 at ARDL.

Flexible Delineators are designed to "delineate" traffic or guide traffic into a specific lane. Flexible delineators are available in many heights and color choices. They also come in both tubular and flat panel designs. The number of impacts ranges from 340 hits at 35 mph to 100 hits at 70 mph, depending on the category of delineator. All categories of delineators are required to come with reflective sheeting. Normally the diameter of delineator is 8cm and the width of the reflective sheeting self-adhesive on it is 3”, with two stripes. As for the height, it could be at 80cm-120cm. The principle of retroreflective sheeting is that where the light comes, where the light goes. As for XW1300 PC Type Reflective Sheeting surface high-intensity grade film, the encapsulated lens help a lot in the brightness.
