Standard vinyl prints look excellent in daylight but are hard to see in the dark. Reflective vinyl completely solves this issue using innovative, high-performance technology. The surface of this specialised reflective media is embedded with thousands of microscopic, octagon-shaped plastic prisms arranged in a highly precise honeycomb configuration.
Each individual micro-prism is finished with a specialised silver coating on its underside, effectively transforming the vinyl's surface into a dense, high-efficiency array of micro-mirrors. When applied to a signboard, these micro-mirrors instantly catch light beams from vehicle headlights and focus-reflect them directly back to the source. Consequently, even in pitch-black conditions, the prints appear to glow intensely from the driver's perspective, making crucial road directions and safety warnings immediately visible.
Orchid Digitals offers multiple types of reflective films, and choosing the right one for your specific project is essential. Here is how our mid-range prismatic film compares to glass-beaded alternatives:
At Orchid Digitals, your artwork is processed on state-of-the-art, industrial-grade, wide-format inkjet printers.

To ensure your signs last for years outdoors in tough weather conditions, we strictly use specialised, weatherproof, branded Mimaki UV inks.
