Product Description
Flashback® Red & Yellow Prismatic Reflective Tape is a highly reflective self-adhesive tape designed for general visibility marking, safety marking and outdoor identification. Made with quality prismatic acrylic reflective material, this tape reflects brightly when illuminated by headlights, torches or other direct light sources, helping make gates, posts, driveways, signs, barriers, equipment and fixed objects easier to see in low-light conditions.
This red and yellow reflective tape is ideal for 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 private property, driveways, yards, workshops, gates, posts, signs, barriers and general non-regulated visibility marking.
Important: This product is not certified for regulated road, highway or vehicle conspicuity 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 & Yellow Prismatic Tape?
Flashback® Red & Yellow Prismatic Tape is designed for customers who want a strong, bright and professional-looking reflective tape for general safety and visibility marking. The prismatic surface gives better reflectivity than many basic reflective tapes, while the red and yellow colour combination creates a clear warning-style appearance.
Bright Prismatic Reflection
The prismatic acrylic surface is designed to reflect clearly when illuminated, helping improve visibility in darker conditions, yards, driveways, workshops and outdoor areas.
Red & Yellow Warning Finish
The red and yellow finish gives a clear safety-marking appearance, making it useful for gates, posts, signs, driveways, barriers, equipment and fixed objects.
Better Than Basic Reflective Tape
Compared with many basic vinyl or glass bead reflective tapes, this prismatic tape provides a brighter, cleaner reflective appearance for general marking applications.
Easy Peel-and-Stick Application
The self-adhesive backing allows quick application to suitable clean, dry and smooth surfaces without separate glue or fixings.
