The origin and development of reflective strips
Since its invention in the early 20th century, the reflective strip technology has undergone many innovations, from the initial simple mirror reflection to the current multi-layer microsphere reflection, which greatly improves its visibility in low-light environments. Today, this technology has been widely used around the world, especially in schools and public safety departments, and has become one of the important means to protect the safety of teachers, students and law enforcement personnel.
Why do I need reflective strips?
According to statistics, the probability of traffic accidents at night or in bad weather is much higher than during the day. At this time, the visibility of pedestrians and cyclists is greatly reduced, and they are easy to become accident victims. Through its unique optical properties, the reflective strip can produce a strong reflection effect when the light is irradiated, and the position of the wearer can be clearly seen even at a long distance, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of potential hazards.
Technical Features of Highlight Reflective Strip
This high-gloss reflective strip uses high-quality glass beads as the core material, and the surface is covered with a special resin coating, which has super reflective ability and weather resistance. Compared with ordinary fluorescent strips, it not only emits dazzling light in the dark, but also has better wear resistance and anti-aging ability, and is suitable for a variety of complex environments.

Reflective strips in the actual case of school uniforms
In recent years, more and more schools have begun to realize the importance of students' traffic safety issues, and have added reflective strips to school uniforms. For example, some primary and secondary schools in the UK have added eye-catching reflective signs on students' schoolbags, hats and even shoes, which greatly improves the safety of children on their way to and from school in the morning and evening. In the country, many regions have followed this practice and achieved good results.
Reflective design in traffic police uniforms
For the traffic police who work on the front line every day, wearing a uniform equipped with reflective strips is an essential safety measure. Under normal circumstances, reflective strips will be sewn on key parts of the uniform, such as shoulders, cuffs and waist, forming a clear contour line, which is convenient for the driver to find and avoid in time. In addition, this design is also conducive to improving the professionalism of the police image and establishing a good credibility of law enforcement.

Application Examples in Other Fields
In addition to education and public security systems, reflective strips also find applications in many other industries. For example, in the construction site, the work clothes worn by workers will be equipped with wide reflective strips to ensure their safety in the construction process; for friends who love night running, a bright reflective belt or socks are necessary equipment, which can not only ensure the safety of sports, but also add fashion sense.
How to select and install reflective strips
There are many kinds of reflective strips on the market, so pay attention to the certification information and quality standards of the products when purchasing. Generally speaking, the reflective strip with a larger width is more suitable for large-area applications, while the narrow and thin ones are convenient and flexible for cutting and suitable for detailed decoration. In terms of installation, it can be fixed by sewing or pasting according to specific needs, and the operation is simple and quick.
Daily maintenance of reflective strips
In order to keep the reflective strip in good performance for a long time, daily maintenance is very important. When cleaning, you can use a soft brush to gently sweep the surface dust, and then rinse with water, avoid the use of corrosive chemical solvents. In addition, the storage should avoid high temperature direct and sharp objects scratch, so as not to damage the reflective film layer. Regularly check whether the reflective strip falls off, and replace it if necessary.
