Overview
A glass-bead engineering-grade reflective film for traffic signs and work zone signage. The PET face keeps the film dimensionally stable during cutting and application, and the glass-bead layer returns light to the driver rather than scattering it.
Key features
- Glass-bead retroreflective construction for traffic signage
- PET face for dimensional stability during cutting and application
- Available in eight colours for standard sign faces and legends
- Cutting and application by plotting or direct mounting
- Supplied in full rolls for sign shop production

Common questions
What is an engineering grade film?
It is a glass-bead retroreflective film. Light from a vehicle hits the bead layer and returns toward the driver instead of scattering, which is what makes the sign readable at distance.
What size does it come in?
One roll measures 1.22 m wide by 45.7 m long.
Which colours are available?
White, yellow, red, green, blue, orange, brown and black.
How long is it rated outdoors?
Five years outdoor durability for this construction.
Send us the sign type, the service life you need and the printing process, and we will confirm the matching construction and quotation.
Engineering grade is the middle of the film range
It sits between commercial and high intensity: enough for vehicle and roadside use without the cost of the top grade. Choose it against the service life and the viewing distance, not the price alone.
What to confirm before ordering
- Substrate: flat panel, aluminium, plastic or vehicle body - the adhesive follows the surface.
- Service life and exposure: indoor, outdoor or road-facing, and for how many years.
- Grade: commercial, engineering or high intensity, chosen against viewing distance rather than price.
- Regulation in scope: signage and vehicle marking rules are separate from garment standards.
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.
