Hi-visibility Ribbon

[BigWallop]

Hi folks, anyone know where I can buy some high visibility ribbon, the type sewn on jackets and things. I have searched and found no where that supplies just the ribbon, only the jackets, vests and things.

Thanks in advance for your help on this one.

It used to be all made by Scotch. You could try that as a start...

I used to sell it when I ran a motorcycle shop, try one.

Add 3M retroreflective and tape to the google mix and several likely looking links pop up.

(distributors for reflexite, £50 min order) (sew on, iron on, vehicle tapes and stickers, also letters and numbers to make up own text, about 2/3rds of way down page) ordinary 'Scotchlite' pearlised strip loses some of its reflectivity when wet; the encapsulated Reflexite stuff is better and is what the police and traffic wardens use.

I have also seen various types of reflective strip sold by the metre on Ebay occasionally. Try General Industrial - Protective Gear. Cycle and motorcycle shops should have something.

Vinyl sign cutting places should be able to obtain reflective vinyl for signmaking and vehicle livery.

Thanks Dave. I did a copy / paste and got two supplier hits from it. Easy when you know what to look for. Thanks again. :-)

Brilliant guys. I now have the exact stuff I need. Many, Many thanks for all the links and search wording ideas.

This group rocks.

(ho ho ho) Merry Christmas All (ho ho ho)

Also have a look at this site - they have quite a few types:

is the thin fabric you see on the cheaper vests, TA/024/025/206 is the thick plastic faced stuff used on jackets.

I bought some from ARCO, Waverley Street, HULL a few yeaqrs ago tp sew onto the rear end and sides of a horses waterproof rug so as to give us visibilty to drivers as I led it to and from its daytime grazing. Can't recall price but not much and it worked a treat.

A google.co.uk for "high visibility tape" gives me this:

a bunch of other possibilities.

If you can't find it easily, cut up some reflective straps - Halfords used to do these, for cyclists.
