Among the materials science innovations Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions showed off at FESPA 2018 was a full range of reflective films designed to provide the highest possible vehicle visibility.
Avery Dennison’s V-8000 Series of reflective films is one of the new range’s star performers, with six colours that use a unique, all-in-one prismatic technology: The extreme, omnidirectional reflectivity offered by V-8000 materials is unique to Avery Dennison, and it means a significant improvement to visibility at night and in other low-light conditions. Vehicles with V-8000 also stand out more during the day, thus making it an ideal solution for both vehicle safety and brand visibility.
V-8000 materials reflect well in all directions, so installation is easier for converters - the films conform superbly to simple curves and can be applied in any orientation. A 1.22m width ensures less material waste, and the materials can be both printed and cut. A solid metallic layer means they resist water, dirt and reflectivity loss from dents.
The complete Avery Dennison reflective product range offers many other options in addition to the V-8000 Series. Another series, V-4000E for truck and trailer applications, complies with ECE-104 Class E. Avery Dennison also offers omnidirectional Conspicuity Tape materials for both rigid surfaces and flexible PVC curtains, allowing high-visibility areas to be created on vehicles in any required configuration. If a vehicle needs to be seen, or a brand made more prominent, these high-visibility portfolios provide a genuinely comprehensive range of choices.
