- On almost any fabric, made in L.A.
Trusted by thousands of companies across the U.S.
What Is 3M Reflective Printing?
We screen print with official 3M retro-reflective ink — hundreds of microscopic beads that bounce light straight back to its source, like tiny mirrors on your shirt. It reads as a subtle matte grey by day and flares to a brilliant white the instant light hits it.
- Subtle silver by day, bright white under light
- Authentic 3M — true high-visibility
- Safety, sports, and bold streetwear style
Pro Tip: Reflective prints with no detail loss, but gradients and photos don't read as smoothly — bold, simple designs reflect best. We always recommend a sample.

Set Your Reflective Print Up for Success
Reflective shines on bold, high-contrast designs. Send your design, choose classic silver or a custom color, and we print with official 3M ink and triple-check every order.
Keep it bold: reflective prints with no detail loss, but gradients and photos don't read as smoothly — bold, simple designs reflect best. Best on absorbent fabric, and we recommend a sample. We also offer 3M reflective transfers for even higher visibility.
How This Process Works
Three simple steps from design to finished merch — and every order is triple-checked by our team before production and again before it ships.
Choose your product(s)
Pick your blank — reflective works on cotton, poly, fleece, denim, and more (just not hats) — then choose your colors, sizes, and print locations.
Upload your design
Send your bold, high-contrast design and any special instructions. We check it, your rep guides any tweaks, and you approve a proof before we print.
Make a lasting impression
Lead the pack with a high-visibility, head-turning print your employees and customers actually want to wear.
Need maximum visibility?
Ask about our 3M reflective transfers — a thicker ink layer reflects even brighter, ideal for safety gear. Your rep will recommend the best fit and triple-check every order.
How Much Does 3M Reflective Cost?
Reflective is priced by the number of colors, coverage, and quantity — with classic 3M silver as standard and custom reflective colors available at volume. Your rep builds the exact quote.
What Can You Print Reflective?
A favorite for safety gear, teams, and bold streetwear — tees, hoodies, jackets, sweatpants, and tote bags. It works on almost any fabric (just not hats), made in LA.

3M Reflective Screen Printing: Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Haven't found what you are looking for? Email or contact us and we'd be happy to assist.
What is 3M reflective screen printing?
It is screen printing with official 3M retro-reflective ink. The print reads as a subtle grey by day and reflects a bright white when light hits it, thanks to hundreds of tiny beads that bounce light straight back to its source.
Do you use authentic 3M reflective ink?
Yes — we only use authentic 3M reflective inks for true high-visibility. We use the official 3M 8010 reflective ink for the highest-quality reflective prints.
Is it approved for safety wear?
Yes. We use authentic 3M brand reflective inks, and we also offer 3M reflective transfers, which carry a thicker layer of ink for an even higher visibility rate.
What colors are available?
Classic 3M-approved reflective silver is the standard. Custom reflective colors are available at volume — your rep can walk you through the options.
What fabrics and products can be printed reflective?
Hoodies, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, and tote bags, on fabrics including cotton, fleece, polyester, spandex, and denim. The one exception is hats — at this time we are unable to print reflective on hats.
What level of detail can it achieve?
There is no detail loss when printing reflective inks. Gradients and photographic images do not print as smoothly as standard inks, so bold, simple designs reflect best.
How should reflective garments be washed?
Wash in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions — no special steps, though we recommend washing inside out. To protect the brightness, we suggest spot-cleaning between washes.
