What is Reflective Printing?

Ordinarily, custom reflective shirts are associated with sports and public safety. Screen printing with reflective ink greatly expands the potential applications of this technology. Our 3M reflective screen printing and transfers add a brilliant, distinct touch to any garment, and we can provide this service with the utmost quality, precision, and detail to ensure your products are a cut above the rest.

Pro Tip: Although, technically the classic reflective silver is the main color approved or manufactured by 3M. We are able to produce color reflective ink in any color with a minimum order of 250 units. We suggest you reach out to an account rep for a full run down of the ordering process for this unique service.

How Does Reflective Print work?

Custom reflective printed shirts work using Retro-reflective Technology. Retro-reflection involves tiny beads in the ink covering a surface. When light hits these beads the light is reflected directly back to its source, and very little elsewhere. To put it simply, there are 100s of little mirrors fused to your customized t-shirt, just like when you sign a light into a mirror, the light bounces.

This unique service has numerous applications beyond custom t-shirt printing – it is a very practical solution for safety materials and is seen on street signs and other traffic objects to reflect headlights directly back to the driver. Bicyclists and people who work on the road (and other precarious workplaces) also make the most of this technology.

Custom Reflective Shirts Made with Official 3M Material

We use official 3m 8010 reflective ink for the highest quality reflective prints. This is ideal for screen printing on polyester fabrics. The ink shows up grey with a matte finish when dry, and reflects a bright white with light shone directly on the fabric. This plastisol based ink is designed to be used on absorbent fabric for sturdy, multi-purpose garments.

Reflective printing is perfect not only for custom t shirts and safety apparel but also for more modern products like custom dri fit t shirts. These moisture-wicking garments pair excellently with our 3M reflective inks, ensuring both performance and high-visibility styling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Haven’t found what you are looking for? Email or Contact us now here

Do you use the authentic 3M reflective ink?

Yes, we only use authentic 3M reflective inks for high visibility.

Are these approved to use for safety wear?

Yes, while we do use the authentic 3M brand reflective inks, we also offer our 3M reflective transfers which has a higher visibility rate than the direct to fabric version as we are able to add a thicker layer of ink to allow for more reflection.

Are 3M Reflective Printing Samples available prior to a production run?

Yes, we do offer samples as well as pre-production samples prior to placing a full production run and we highly recommend ordering them.

How should 3M reflective printed garments be washed?

3M reflective print garments should be washed in accordance with the manufacturer’s washing instructions – no special instructions, although we do recommend washing them inside out. In order to protect the longevity of the garment’s brightness we advise spot-cleaning until washing is totally necessary.

What level of detail can 3M Reflective screen printing achieve?

There is no detail loss when printing reflective inks, however, gradients and photographic images will not print as smoothly as standard inks.
