Reflective Heat Transfer Vinyl Films

Attention-getting films provide motorists with advance warning to prevent accidents.

Most people avoid the limelight. Others need to be seen. This is especially true of people, who work and play in poor visibility environments. By wearing garments decorated RTape/SEF ReflexCut retro-reflective heat transfer films, these people get all the attention they desire. 

ReflexCut is a safety grade micro-bead retro-reflective, that satisfies the EN471 High Visibility Standard. These heat transfer films are highly visible near a light source, such as the headlights of a car. By reflecting light back to the light source, ReflexCut helps motorists identify people in the dark, so drivers can avoid accidents which all too frequently result in serious injury and death.

Reflective films aren’t just for safety applications. In the design pictured above, ReflexCut is used to highlight the eyes of the tiger.

ReflexCut is ideal for decorating clothing worn by firemen, policemen, paramedics, highway construction workers, joggers, hikers and cyclists. These reflective films can be applied to cotton, polyester and cotton/poly blends for applications to jackets, trousers, tee-shirts and sweatshirts.
