Class 1 & Class 2 reflective vinyl overview

We typically process high-quality Class 1 and Class 2 reflective films from major manufacturers, used for road, safety and wayfinding signage. The table below summarises common use cases. Exact film choice and compliance levels depend on your project specification and standards.

Typical reflective film types and applications

Reflective vinyl type	Typical use
Class 2 reflective vinyl	General safety, parking, site, warehouse and wayfinding signage.
Class 1 reflective vinyl (including prismatic)	Higher-performance traffic signage, roadwork signage and critical safety signs.
Engineer-grade & specialty reflective films	Street blades, branded reflective panels and specialist site applications.
Fleet & conspicuity reflective films	Vehicle striping, tailboard chevrons and compliance markings (subject to spec).

*We always work to your specified brand and class of reflective film where applicable. Our cutting equipment handles reflective vinyl up to 1500 mm wide. For regulated road signage, design and compliance remain the responsibility of the project engineer or principal contractor.

We focus on cutting and supplying the reflective vinyl graphics. Substrates (aluminium, Colorbond, ACM), installation and compliance with local road and safety standards are handled by your install crews and project engineers.

Accuracy

Plotter cutting follows vector artwork for sharp, consistent edges.
Registration to print marks for print-and-cut reflective graphics.
Repeatable sets for rollouts, network-wide updates and re-orders.

Finish

Clean cut edges to minimise lifting and snagging over the life of the sign.
Weeding and application tape options to suit your install crew preferences.
Logical kitting and labelling by site, sign code or location.

Roll / Panel Size

Our vinyl and knife beds are set up for reflective films up to 1500 mm wide. Larger signs and graphics can be tiled into multiple panels with overlaps or joins planned to align with sign panel breaks and hardware locations.

Why use our reflective vinyl cutting service?

Built for safety and traffic work

We work daily with reflective films for traffic, safety and wayfinding signage. Artwork, tiling and packing are all planned with real installation conditions in mind — from workshops to roadside crews.

Set up for rollouts and re-orders

Once sign layouts and sign codes are established, we can repeat them as needed — ideal for council networks, corporate campuses, car parks and industrial sites needing consistent reflective signage.

Help preparing artwork and sign packs

Work from vector artwork, sign schedules or existing samples. We can align cut graphics with your sign sizes, panel layouts and mounting details, and pack by site or sign code.

Trade-ready workflow

Clear specs on film type, class, colour and warranty, plus realistic lead times and consistent re-runs. We are geared to support signage companies, traffic contractors and facilities teams.

More about reflective vinyl cutting and design

Open the items below for more detail on designing and using Class 1 and Class 2 reflective films in real-world projects.

When designing reflective signs, consider viewing distance, font choice and contrast. Use compliant fonts and layouts where standards apply, maintain strong contrast between background and legend, and avoid overly thin strokes that may be hard to read at night or when wet.

Class 1 films provide higher brightness and are generally chosen for critical traffic and safety applications, while Class 2 films are widely used for car parks, general safety and site signage. Always refer to relevant standards and project specifications when selecting film class.

Reflective vinyl sets are typically shipped rolled or flat on backing, depending on size and design. For larger projects we can label and bundle graphics by site, sign code or direction to streamline installation and reduce on-site sorting time.

Most reflective vinyl cutting jobs dispatch in 1–5 business days once artwork, film type and quantities are confirmed. Larger rollouts, complex artwork and extensive weeding may take longer, but we will confirm realistic timeframes before you commit.

DXF/DWG preferred; AI/SVG/PDF (vector) accepted. Units in mm; outline text; follow relevant signage standards. Upload via the instant quote.

Whether you need a handful of reflective signs or a full kit for a large site or network, our plotter and digital knife workflow is set up for trade-ready results and predictable lead times. Send your files or contact us to plan your next reflective vinyl cutting project.

Typical applications include traffic signs, safety signage, car park signs, construction site signage, warehouse safety markers and emergency exit signs. We work with councils, contractors, facilities managers and safety officers across infrastructure and commercial projects.
