* 6" x 30' Reflective Chevron Striping Tapes
6" x 30' Rolls of Reflective Chevron Striping Tape. Easy to install. Just peel
and stick to a clean, dry surface.
NFPA 1901 states that firetrucks and emergency vehicles shall have alternating yellow and red chevron striping applied to 50% of the rear of the vehicle. The 6" stripes must slant downward from the center at a 45 degree angle and must alternate red and yellow. Fluorescent Lime/Yellow V92 Prismatic is also acceptable.
We carry reflective chevron striping in five types or grades of tape. Flexible Engineer Grade Type 1 (bright), High Intensity Type 3 (brighter),V92 Prismatic (even brighter) , V82 Prismatic Type 5 (very bright) and Crystal Grade Type 8 (brightest). All five are compliant with the NFPA 1901 standard. You can select which grade you would like by using the drop down menus below.
For treadplate applications we recommend punching the material into 3/4" squares or circles and applying it in the flat area between the diamonds. Punches can be purchased at Hobby Lobby, Michaels or any hobby store for about $10.
All of our reflective chevron striping materials meet the minimum standards for chevron striping established by the NFPA. The minimum requirement is Type 1.
We carry 5 types of material for chevron striping. They vary in brightness and also in price.
1. Our "Flexible Engineer Grade Type 1" striping tape is the most flexible and least expensive of the reflective films. It will stretch and conform better than any other reflective tape. Heat from a hair dryer or heat gun enhances this characteristic. For areas where the material needs to stretch to conform this is the best choice. Rolls are $79.99 each.
2. Our "High Intensity Type 3" striping tape is about 3 times brighter than engineer grade tape and is an affordable alternative to prismatic tapes. It is characterized by a honeycomb pattern. It is flexible but does not stretch like the engineer grade film. It performs well on smooth surfaces. Rolls are $89.99 each.
3. Our "V92 Prismatic" tape is our most affordable prismatic film. It is almost double the brightness of the high intensity tapes and is thin and flexible. It is a tough film and one of the more popular materials for chevron striping. It is flexible but does not stretch. It performs well on smooth surfaces. In this grade the yellow is a "Fluorescent" Lime/Yellow. Also, the yellow is made from a thicker material to give it that fluorescent look. The Fluorescent Yellow striping is preferred by many fire departments because of its extreme visibility in the day and at night. Rolls are $109.99 each (see picture below)
4. Our "V82 Prismatic" tape is a type 5 film and is a little brighter than the V92. It also has a 10 year outdoor rating versus the 5 year rating for the V92. It is a thin, flexible film and performs very well. It is flexible but does not stretch. It is Reflexite's top of the line reflective tape and performs well on smooth surfaces. Rolls are $119.99 each.
5. Our "Crystal Grade" tape is a very thick and tough tape that is often seen on the brightest street signs. It is a 10 year type 8 film and is the brightest of all the chevron striping tapes. It is roughly the thickness of a guitar pick and performs very well on flat, smooth surfaces. Rolls are $129.99 each.

To install simply peel the backing off the tape and press the tape firmly onto a clean, dry surface.
All of our chevron striping rolls are 6 inches wide. 30 foot rolls are available on this page.
Engineer Grade Type 1
High Intensity Type 3
V92 Prismatic
V82 Prismatic Type 5
Crystal Grade Type 8
Please note that the V92 yellow is a fluorescent color meaning that is it much brighter than the other grades. It is closer to a true yellow whereas the other yellows are similar to a schoolbus color.
