3M 5100R engineer-grade reflective vinyl decals are designed for applications where visibility and durability matter. Commonly used on fleet vehicles, trailers, helmets, equipment, and safety markings, this reflective material provides excellent nighttime reflectivity and long-term outdoor performance. Printed with professional OEM inks for sharp detail and consistent color, 3M reflective decals deliver reliable adhesion and high visibility for both commercial and industrial use.

5100R has a strong, yet removable adhesive. As the backing is metallized silver, these engineer-grade decals work well for blocking out the surface underneath. This fantastic, strong, but removable adhesive can be removed for up to 4 years.

This reflective vinyl material sticks reliably to flat surfaces and simple curves. This is a thick, durable vinyl and does not remain stuck to sharp direction changes, deep recesses, or compound curves for extended periods of time.

3M 5100R blocks out well with its metallized, silver backing.

This engineer-grade retro-reflective vinyl has an outdoor life of 3 years unlaminated and 5 to 7 years with our 3M premium optically clear overlaminate.

Reflective vinyl decals are most often used anywhere nighttime visibility and safety matter. Common applications include fleet vehicle markings, trailer safety striping, helmet decals, equipment identification, municipal signage, and contractor branding on trucks and machinery. Businesses and municipalities rely on reflective decals to improve visibility in low light while maintaining durable outdoor performance. Custom reflective stickers are also popular for hard hats, motorcycles, emergency equipment, and outdoor labeling where long-term adhesion and high visibility are essential.

Reflective stickers are produced at true high resolution using professional-grade printing on Epson printers. We print exclusively with genuine OEM inks—never third-party or economy substitutes. Print output is held to a minimum of 720 DPI for crisp detail, clean edges, and accurate color.
