Reflective Tape – Simple Solutions for Safety & Active Wear
LOXY® REX reflective tapes are created with a single purpose – to improve visibility. What was once only made for the safety of road crews, sew-on or transfer reflective tape is now widely used around the world. Major garment manufacturers use reflective tapes for sportswear, children’s clothes and emergency services.
LOXY® REX composition
The Loxy® REX composition is based on high index retro-reflective micro glass beads, a polymer layer and textile backing for the sew-on product line. Loxy® REX offers reflective tape in a variety of colors and width to fit any application. Our production flexibility allows us to customize the width of any reflective tape to meet the needs of every customer.
Q&A for LOXY® REX
What is LOXY® REX reflective tape?
LOXY® REX is Loxy’s reflective tape brand for the apparel industry, made from high-index retro-reflective micro glass beads, a polymer layer, and, for the sew-on range, a textile backing. It reflects light back toward its source, making garments visible in low-light conditions, and is designed to be heat-pressed or sewn into workwear, sportswear, and safety apparel.
How does reflective tape work?
Reflective tape works by bouncing light back toward its source instead of scattering it. LOXY® REX does this with embedded high-index micro glass beads that catch light from headlights or torches and reflect it directly back, making the wearer clearly visible to drivers and pedestrians at night.
What types of LOXY® REX reflective tape are available?
LOXY® REX comes in two main application types: heat-transfer tape, pressed onto fabric, and sew-on tape, which has a textile backing for stitching into seams. Both are available in multiple colors and widths, and Loxy can customize width and color for specific garment or brand requirements.
What is LOXY® REX made of?
LOXY® REX tape is composed of high-index retro-reflective micro glass beads embedded in a polymer layer. The sew-on line adds a textile backing so the tape can be stitched into seams, while the heat-transfer line bonds to fabric under heat and pressure.
What is reflective tape used for?
Reflective tape improves visibility and safety in low-light conditions. LOXY® REX is applied to workwear, sportswear, children’s clothing, and emergency service apparel, and is common on safety vests, helmets, and road crew uniforms.
Is LOXY® REX reflective tape visible in daylight?
Yes, but less dramatically than at night. The tape’s color and surface still provide some daytime visibility, but its main advantage is in low light, where it reflects light directly back toward its source for maximum visibility.
How long does LOXY® REX reflective tape last?
High-quality reflective tape like LOXY® REX typically lasts several years under normal use, though lifespan depends on exposure to sunlight, moisture, abrasion, and wash frequency. Following care instructions, such as avoiding fabric softener, helps extend its reflective performance.
Can you wash clothing with reflective tape using fabric softener?
No. Fabric softener should be avoided on garments with reflective tape because it coats and weakens the tape’s binding agent, which can reduce adhesion and reflective performance over time. Read also here.
What safety standards does LOXY® REX meet?
LOXY® REX reflective tapes are manufactured to meet, and in many cases exceed, relevant industry safety standards for high-visibility apparel used in road, construction, and emergency service work, while also being designed with environmental impact in mind. Full certification details are on Loxy’s certifications page.
Can LOXY® REX reflective tape be customized?
Yes. Loxy can customize the width, color, and construction of LOXY® REX reflective tape to match a customer’s specific garment design or brand requirements, using in-house production flexibility. Read about more about our customized solutions.
What's the difference between heat-transfer and sew-on reflective tape?
Heat-transfer tape is pressed onto fabric with heat and pressure, suiting lightweight or stretch garments. Sew-on tape has a textile backing and is stitched into seams, offering added durability for heavy-duty workwear. LOXY® REX is available in both formats.
Which industries use LOXY® REX reflective tape?
LOXY® REX is used across the apparel industry, including workwear, sportswear, children’s clothing, and emergency services such as firefighting, rescue, and road crews and anywhere visibility in low light is a safety requirement.
