Product Description
Flashback® Red & Yellow Chevron Prismatic Reflective Tape is a highly reflective self-adhesive tape designed for general visibility marking, safety marking and outdoor identification. With a bright red and yellow chevron pattern and prismatic acrylic reflective surface, this tape helps make gates, posts, driveways, vehicles, equipment, barriers and fixed objects easier to see in low-light conditions when illuminated by headlights, torches or other direct light sources.
This tape is designed for general unregulated use where increased visibility is useful, but formal certification such as Chapter 8 or ECE104 is not required. It is ideal for private property, driveways, yards, workshops, general safety awareness and non-regulated vehicle or equipment marking.
Important: This product is not Chapter 8 compliant and is not ECE104 compliant. If you need reflective tape 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 Chevron Tape?
Flashback® Red & Yellow Chevron Reflective Tape is designed for customers who want a bold warning-style reflective tape for general marking without needing a certified road or vehicle regulation product. The red and yellow chevron pattern gives a strong visual impact, while the prismatic surface reflects clearly when light hits it.
Bold Red & Yellow Chevron Pattern
The warning-style chevron pattern helps draw attention to gates, driveways, posts, barriers, vehicles, equipment and other hard surfaces where improved visibility is useful.
Bright Prismatic Reflection
The prismatic reflective surface helps return light when illuminated, improving visibility in darker conditions, yards, driveways, workshops and outdoor areas.
Left-Hand or Right-Hand Direction
Choose either left-hand or right-hand chevrons. The only difference is the angle direction of the pattern. Use both directions together for a balanced chevron look.
Ideal for General Visibility Marking
A practical choice for private property, yards, driveways, barriers, non-regulated vehicles, warehouse areas and general fixed-object marking where certified tape is not required.
Common Uses
Flashback® Red & Yellow Chevron Reflective Tape is suitable for general visibility marking where a bright chevron-style reflective tape is required and certified material is not needed.
- Gates and fences
- Posts, poles and bollards
- Driveways and entrances
- Barriers and fixed equipment
- Mailboxes and signs
- Bikes and bicycles, subject to testing
- Cars, vans and trailers where regulated tape is not required

Left-Hand & Right-Hand Chevron Direction
Choose either left-hand or right-hand chevron direction. The tape is the same material, but the chevrons are angled in the opposite direction. Using both directions together can create a more balanced, professional chevron appearance.
Suitable Surfaces
This reflective tape is suitable for many clean, dry, smooth and rigid surfaces, including metal, painted metal, plastic, glass, UPVC, smooth painted surfaces, sign boards, gates, posts and general hard surfaces. Adhesion can vary depending on the surface condition, texture, temperature, exposure and application pressure. Always test first if applying to painted, coated, delicate, textured or high-value surfaces.
