Heat Transfer Reflective Tape for Clothing – Complete FAQ Guide

What is heat transfer reflective tape?

YGM Heat Transfer Reflective Tape is a durable and high-strength adhesive that is hot-pressed onto fabric. As the tape reflects the light that is shined upon it, YGM Heat Transfer Reflective Tape can be used in a wide range of applications.

To make an incredible fashion statement, one can customize the design of a heat transfer reflective tape and have it applied to clothing. Apparel such as t-shirts with intricate designs or bags with unique logos is becoming very popular.

Heat transfer reflective tape also provides great heat resistance and flame retardancy. These features make this tape suitable for use in safety apparel such as vests for firemen or industrial workers.

How is heat transfer reflective tape applied to clothing?

As the name suggests, the reflective tape is hot-pressed onto the fabric of your choice.

Before pressing, the tape can be laser or knife-cut to create an intricate design or logo. Creating customized clothing is incredibly simple with heat transfer reflective tape.

After the design is finalized, the reflective tape is pressed onto the clothing at high temperatures of up to 140 degrees. With a pressure of 2-3kgs/cm² for up to 15 seconds, the reflective tape becomes bonded to the fabric.

Which materials can be used for heat transfer reflective tape?

YGM Heat Transfer Reflective Tapes can be applied to a range of fabrics. The two types of backing fabric in every reflective tape are polyester (PES) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

PES Backing Fabric

The PES backing fabric is ideal for application on cotton, woven fabrics. During application, you do not need to worry about creating holes or tears in the fabric.

TPU Backing Fabric

The TPU backing fabric is used for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyurethane (PU) fabrics. While both of these backing fabrics are durable, the only difference is in their heat transfer application.

Are there various types of heat transfer reflective tape for clothing?

Yes, YGM offers multiple types of heat transfer reflective tape for clothing. Each tape is suitable for a different application, offering various benefits to the user.

The types of YGM heat transfer reflective tape include:

High Luster’s Heat Transfer Reflective Tape (for woven, cotton, PU or PVC fabrics)
High Luster’s Industrial Wash Reflective Tape (for high washability)
High Luster’s Elastic Heat Transfer Reflective Tape (for elastic woven materials)
High Luster’s Fluo-Yellow / Fluo-Red Warning Heat Transfer (for flame retardancy and heat resistance)
High Reflective Heat Transfer Reflective Tape (for woven, cotton fabrics)

What is the reflectivity quotient of heat transfer reflective tape?

The reflectivity quotient refers to the amount of light reflected by the heat transfer tape. Typically, the reflectivity quotient ranges between 10 to 500 cd/lx/m².

Different types of the YGM heat transfer reflective tape have varied levels of reflectivity. One of the variables that determine reflectivity is the color of the tape. For instance, the silver heat transfer reflective tape has a reflectivity of more than 400 cd/lx/m².

As for the Fluo-Red and Fluo-Yellow reflective tapes that are typically used in safety apparel, the reflectivity quotient is more than 300 cd/lx/m².

Will the heat transfer reflective tape fade over time?

Some YGM heat transfer reflective tape will not fade for up to 50 washes.

Depending upon the type of reflective tape used, the washing instructions might differ. For products with an ISO 6330, home wash with medium temperature water is recommended. For higher ISO ratings such as 15797, industrial washing is recommended. With ISO 3175, you can dry clean the fabric.

Remember to never pre-soak or bleach fabric that has heat transfer reflective tape. Strong detergents or other chemicals could potentially damage the quality of the tape.

Which colors can be printed using heat transfer reflective tape?

Color printing is somewhat restricted with YGM heat transfer reflective tape. Instead of printing in any color of your preference, you can only choose between the four colored tape options that are available.

Options include silver, gray, yellow/silver/yellow, and red/silver/red. The reflective tape is already available in these given colors and the size can be customized accordingly.

How to use YGM heat transfer reflective tape for clothing?

YGM heat transfer reflective tape can be used for multiple purposes, such as:

Customized Clothing

One of the most popular uses of heat transfer reflective tape is to create attractive designs on clothing such as shirts or pants. Many manufacturers use heat transfer reflective tape to offer customized printing to customers on apparel.

Marketing and Brand Awareness

Apart from popular designs or quotes, heat transfer reflective tape can also be used for branding purposes. Large organizations can use reflective tape to create branded apparel such as bags or shirts. This helps them spread brand awareness and develop a positive brand image alongside marketing the company.

Reflective Jackets for Nighttime Sports

For those who participate in nighttime sports such as biking or running, it is important to wear apparel that makes them apparent on the track. Heat transfer reflective tape can be applied to jackets to create a reflective jacket that is visible in nighttime conditions. When a car passes by, they would be able to view the individual properly. This application helps prevent accidents.

Fire Safety Apparel

Heat transfer reflective tape is also used to manufacture fire safety apparel. Apparel made using reflective tape is beneficial for those who work in fire safety since the tape is flame resistant and offers high heat resistance.

Additionally, the heat transfer reflective tape is also suitable for labor-intensive work apparel to prevent accidents in factories.

Can the YGM heat transfer reflective tape resist fire hazards?

Flame retardancy is only found in a few variations of the YGM heat transfer reflective tape. If you are looking to create apparel that resists fire hazards, then it is important to select the right type of reflective tape.

The Fluo-Red and Fluo-Yellow reflective tapes offer the highest flame retardancy and heat resistance. These tapes have a pattern of three stripes, with silver in the middle and the main color on either side.

Fluo-Red and Fluo-Yellow reflective tapes can be hot-pressed onto a range of fabrics including cotton and woven. These tapes are suitable for use in the electrical industry or fire safety apparel.

Can you create a customized design with heat transfer reflective tape?

Yes, it is possible to customize your design with heat transfer reflective tape. You can get into contact with the YGM support team, and they will cater to a range of different design requirements.

Heat transfer reflective tape is customized using knife-cut or laser-cut techniques to create graphics, logos, or striped patterns. Unique designs can be created to represent your brand, favorite superhero, or more.

How can YGM reflective tape for clothing be used for safety apparel?

Safety apparel typically includes vests, pants, and shoes. YGM heat transfer reflective tape can be attached to any of these by using a hot press with pressure.

Even if safety apparel requires heat resistance, Fluo-Red and Fluo-Yellow reflective tapes offer these features.

Can the YGM reflective tape for clothing be used for marketing?

Many companies wish to create branded products with their logo and company name. This can be done using YGM reflective tape since the tape can be transferred to any cotton, woven, PU, or PVC materials. Due to the diverse range of fabrics, no marketing team would be restricted to a specific type of clothing to use YGM reflective tape.

Moreover, the YGM reflective tape can also be used to create attractive jackets or shoes with a hint of branding. While this creates brand awareness, it also markets the company to a wide consumer audience.

What is the benefit of using High Luster’s Elastic Heat Transfer Reflective Tape?

Not all fabrics are used in careful applications. In some cases, you might need reflective tape on PU or PVC materials that need to be stretched across a large piece of machinery.

Since other types of reflective tape could tear with such harsh usage, it is important to use one that offers high elasticity. High Luster’s Elastic Heat Transfer reflective tape is designed to endure tough usage and can be hot-pressed onto elastic fabric at a temperature of up to 135 degrees.

Which reflective tape has the highest flame retardancy?

High Luster’s Fluo-Yellow and Fluo-Red reflective tapes display the highest flame resistance. These tapes are ideal in manufacturing safety vests or apparel for fire protection or industrial workers.

These reflective tapes not only protect against fire but also have high heat resistance. The tape can be hot-pressed on to any fabric including cotton and woven materials.

Which YGM reflective tape is used on PU or PVC?

Since each fabric has different qualities, each YGM reflective tape is designed for a specific type of fabric. PU and PVC printing can be done using High Luster’s Heat Transfer Reflective Tape (TPU type) or the Industrial Wash reflective tape.

Can the size of reflective tape be customized?

Yes, YGM offers complete customizability when it comes to the size of the reflective tape. You can have a small design hot-pressed to the side of a jacket or have the entire back covered with reflective tape.

Size and dimensions can be provided by the client, and the YGM team will be happy to cater to your specific requirements.

Is YGM Heat Transfer Reflective Tape for Clothing Fireproof and Waterproof?

The YGM heat transfer reflective tape is completely waterproof. The tape can maintain premium quality and some offer a high reflectivity quotient for up to 50 wash cycles.

However, the YGM heat transfer reflective tape is not completely fireproof. While some variations of the tape offer high flame retardancy, the chemicals may fade over time after multiple washes. It is recommended to avoid fire hazards when wearing apparel with YGM heat transfer reflective tape.

How much does the YGM heat transfer reflective tape cost?

The quote depends upon the requirements of a specific client. After the YGM team books a consultation with the client and understands their requirements, an accurate quote is provided regarding the total cost of the project.

For smaller applications that do not require much customization, the price is likely to remain on the lower end of the threshold. With more intricate graphics and complex materials, the cost can slightly increase.
