Reflective Vinyl Sticker
What Is Reflective Vinyl?
Reflective vinyl is one of the special types of vinyl material. Similar to standard vinyl, it can be cut to shape and printed with custom designs. What makes it special is that it has a metallic, reflective base that causes it to reflect backlight when light is shone on it.
How Does Reflective Vinyl Work?
Reflective vinyl works by bouncing light back to the original source. In daylight, the original color of the reflective vinyl stickers looks similar to common vinyl decals. But under headlights or flashlights, the decals will look like they are lit up from within!
This is because the light is bouncing off of microscopic glass beads that are embedded inside the vinyl, reflecting the light back to the viewer.
