01
Selection criteria
Which reflective film suits your marking task?
Start with the application: film for traffic signs, vehicle contour markings and reflective material for clothing call for different constructions and processing methods. The 3M range includes microprismatic films for signs and Scotchlite materials for clothing. Establish the surface, geometry, lighting conditions and required delivery format before choosing an item from the range.

SELECT BY APPLICATION
Consider reflection and processing together
“Reflective tape” describes the strip format being sought; the catalogue also includes wider 3M reflective films. For traffic signs, 3M names microprismatic lines such as High Intensity Grade Prismatic and Diamond Grade DG³. Suitability depends on the specific line and the application requirements. Vehicle contour markings and Scotchlite materials for clothing need separate assessment. Retroreflection means that incoming light is returned towards its source; it says nothing about adhesion to your surface.
Check the specific item against your surface, contour, processing method, colour and required width. Krückemeyer GmbH can convert suitable materials into rolls, strips or die-cut parts. Tell us the marking task and desired delivery format so that we can assess the material and cut together.

QUESTIONS ABOUT 3M REFLECTIVE FILMS
How do 3M reflective tape and reflective film differ?
Reflective tape means a reflective film supplied in a strip format here. The range also includes wider 3M reflective films that can be cut for the required marking. Roll width alone does not settle the choice: signs, vehicle contours and clothing use different product lines and processing methods. Define the marking task first, then check the construction and suitability of the specific item. This keeps the delivery format separate from the reflective function that the finished application needs.
Which 3M reflective film is suitable for traffic signs?
That depends on the required sign construction. 3M describes microprismatic films such as High Intensity Grade Prismatic and Diamond Grade DG³ for different retroreflection requirements. The product line, colour, processing method and required performance class must match the particular sign. A film property does not constitute general approval for a finished sign. Tell us the intended sign and its requirements before selecting a material or specifying a cut.
Can every 3M reflective film be used on clothing?
No. 3M has separate Scotchlite materials for clothing; they are not interchangeable with the microprismatic films intended for traffic signs. Construction and processing also vary among the clothing materials. Check the individual product for its method of application to the intended fabric and for the requirements of the finished garment. Details of the textile, desired shape and processing method will help us assess your request.
What information does Krückemeyer need for a cut?
State the intended application, the specific 3M product or desired product line, the surface, and the width, length or outline of the marking. The planned processing method and delivery format matter too. Krückemeyer GmbH can convert suitable materials into rolls, strips or die-cut parts. We assess whether a particular construction and cut makes sense for your application by considering the material, geometry and processing method together.
