Product Description
Flashback® Red / White Prismatic Reflective Tape is a highly reflective self-adhesive acrylic tape designed for general visibility marking, safety marking and outdoor identification. With alternating red and white reflective segments, it helps make bikes, gates, posts, poles, driveways, mailboxes, vehicles, equipment and fixed objects easier to see in low-light conditions when illuminated by headlights, torches or other direct light sources.
This Flashback® prismatic tape is ideal for general outdoor applications where increased visibility is useful, but formal certification such as Chapter 8 or ECE104 is not required. It is a practical choice for customers who want bright red and white reflective marking for private property, general safety awareness, workshops, yards, driveways and non-regulated vehicle or equipment marking.
Important: This product is not certified for regulated road or vehicle use. It is not Chapter 8 compliant and it is not ECE104 compliant. For HGVs over 7.5 tonnes or trailers over 3.5 tonnes where regulated conspicuity marking is required, use approved ECE104 Reflective Tape instead.

Why Choose Flashback® Red / White Prismatic Tape?
Flashback® Red / White Prismatic Tape is designed for customers who want strong visual marking without needing a certified road or vehicle regulation tape. The alternating red and white pattern helps fixed objects stand out, while the prismatic surface reflects clearly when light hits it.
High-Visibility Red / White Pattern
The red and white layout gives a clear warning-style appearance, making it useful for marking gates, poles, posts, driveways, entrances, equipment and other hard surfaces.
Bright Prismatic Reflection
The prismatic reflective surface helps return light when illuminated, improving visibility in darker conditions, yards, driveways, workshops and outdoor areas.
Ideal for General Marking
A practical choice for general safety awareness, private property marking, non-regulated vehicle marking, warehouse areas, gates, barriers and fixed object identification.
Easy Self-Adhesive Application
The adhesive backing allows quick application to suitable clean, dry and smooth surfaces without separate glue or fixings.
