Reflective for Fire vehicles.

[b76]

Hi all - Im a sign veteran but new to the forums.

Has anyone noticed that 3m premium reflective vinyls aren't what they were 10 years ago? When branded as 280 / 280i it once had an overlaminate that you would see if removing. The newer 280 / 680 reflectives are easily ripped and seem to be more like EG vinyl.

I want to be providing the best materials on local Police and
Fire Vehicles possible and it seems 3m quality has declined.

Please let me know of your experiences and suggestions.

oracal 5700, 3M seems the same to me, I use some of their colors....

I used Nikkalite some years ago. Worked well and no call backs.

I use mostly Gerber/3m and Arlon, seem the same

I use all 3M & Gerber materials for reflective, never any issues from customers or the material.
For Chevron striping, I really like Reflexite.
