High Visibility Clothing helps keep the wearer safer



This statement is especially true on the work site, on people riding bicycles and motorcycles and also for pedestrians walking at night. The reflective properties of the clothing lie in the vinyl used in the digital fabric printing process which produces clean sharp lines. 

The dye sublimation printing process that can be used to print on fabrics, paper and plastic involves high heat, transferring the reflective material which then permeates the fabric. Once this process is complete the dye is considered permanent and stands up to washing, drying and extreme wear and tear. 

The printing of various items such as caps, sports bags, hats, jackets and vests take on the same look as reflective tape but of course presents a more permanent solution. 

The use of what was then called florescent jackets first became popular in 1964 when railway workers in Scotland were issued jackets to be worn while doing track repairs, allowing them to be visible from a distance to train operators.  The method of producing reflective gear has since undergone many changes and improvements in order to help ensure the safety of:
  • Police officers - especially during traffic stops at night and traffic light outages.

  • Firemen - visual stripes on many gear parts.

  • Crossing guards

  • Cyclists - often a torch light or reflective lights are too small for constant visibility.

  • Motor Cyclists - studies have indicated that there 33% of accidents would have been prevented if the riders sported high visibility apparel such as a vest or other reflective clothing or satchels.

  • Security guards

  • Pedestrians - walking at night is less hazardous. (Many people have their dogs set up with reflective gear too.)

  • When a car breaks down at night or in low light - it is wise to have a piece of reflective clothing in the trunk to don immediately if anyone is outside of the car.

  • Construction Workers - hard hats, caps, jackets, safety vests.

  • All terrain vehicle drivers including boaters, snowboarders, cross country skiers (endless list of outdoor activities)


The safety of work crews and everyday people is foremost on the minds of the staff at Everything Vibrant. For permanent, reflective words, names, logos and striping Everything Vibrant has the expertise and professionalism to advise their customers whether on line, via email, by phone or in person. There are very few fabric items that can not be printed on with reflective high visibility vinyl for the sake of safety.
