Prismatic Reflective Sheeting

Prismatic Reflective Sheeting


Reflective Traffic Signage For Increased Safety


In order to make signs more conspicuous during times of low visibility, engineers use reflective sheeting to increase the sign’s retroreflectivity. Retroreflectivity is a term used to define the amount of light being reflected back to the viewer’s eyes—making a sign visible. At night, highly retroreflective (reflective) sheeting helps make traffic signs not only more conspicuous, but also quicker to understand. This keeps driver’s eyes on the roads instead of straining to read a sign.

As such, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires you to install traffic signs that use varying grades of reflective sheeting for all signs displayed on roads open to public use on your property. All traffic signs need to fulfill certain size, reflectivity, mounting height, and design requirements specified by the FHWA for safety.


Worldwide, the amount of traffic is still growing every year. To keep all this traffic on the right track and to indicate roadworks, an incredible amount of traffic signs is required. Traffic signs or road signs provide valuable information to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. They indicate the rules in traffic, are helpful in making the roads safer and guide traffic in the right direction. All sorts of signs detailing one-way streets, speed limits, no entry points and many other symbols often use reflective materials to remain visible in the dark. 


Strong materials for visibility and durability


No need to say traffic signs can even be a matter of life or death. Therefore, manufacturers make sure they are highly noticeable. And as they are meant to last a long time, they’d better be durable too. Print providers, therefore, use long-lasting fully reflective, durable sheeting for the printing road signs. Amongst this reflective sheeting we can distinguish three categories:

Engineer-grade, which is visible up to 150 m and mostly used as temporary work signs on sites.

High-Intensity Prismatic grade (HIP), which is visible up to 300 m

Diamond grade, which has the greatest visibility of the three (up to 450 m)
