Overview
Custom reflective tape programme: colour, width and backing are specified per order. Feasibility, minimum quantity and unit pricing are confirmed on quotation.
The code under this listing, RS-F-CT-01, is quoted rather than stocked. Nothing about the build is fixed in advance, so there is no published width, brightness or backing to copy - the specification is written around the one constraint you cannot move.
Custom starts with which variable is fixed
Width, colour, brightness, backing and packaging are all open. The useful conversation is about which of them cannot move - send that one constraint and the rest can be quoted around it.

Typical use
Programmes where an off-the-shelf tape does not fit: a trim width no standard roll provides, a colour that has to sit next to a garment dye lot, a backing chosen for a substrate the standard build was never designed for, or packaging and labelling set by the buyer rather than the mill.
What to confirm before ordering
- Measured coefficient and test method: a figure without its method is not comparable between suppliers.
- Wash cycle: domestic or industrial - the adhesive changes with the cycle.
- Substrate or shell fabric: send it, so the bond can be matched rather than assumed.
- Width and slitting: state the finished width, since slitting changes the edge.
Compliance note
No single retroreflective figure is quoted for this build, and a number without its test method and wash cycle would not be comparable anyway. Confirm the measured value for the grade you order, on the substrate you order it on.
If the finished article has to carry an EN ISO 20471 or ANSI/ISEA 107 claim, say so before the order: the grade and the evidence are chosen together, and changing either afterwards means a new build.
