Warning markings

By equipping vehicles with warning markings, you increase the safety of your vehicles, employees and all other road users. More than a third of all accidents occur in poor visibility conditions and at night.

Warning markings do not necessarily have to be an ‘alien object’ or just an annoying obligation on the vehicle, but can be effectively integrated into the lettering of the entire municipal vehicle in accordance with ECE 104 or DIN 14502-3 recommendations to increase the daytime and night-time visibility of municipal vehicles.

There are a variety of different retro-reflective and non-reflective warning markings for lorries, vans, fire engines, rescue vehicles, municipal vehicles, containers, trailers, etc. It is always important to ensure that the correct warning marking film is used for the specific application – we will be happy to assist you in making your selection.

No compromises when it comes to safety in the field

Thanks to the amendment to DIN 14502-3, large warning markings, especially at the rear, are an important but often neglected safety factor for fire engines. Our eye-catching contrasting stickers, fluorescent and retro-reflective warning markings significantly increase operational safety both day and night.

Fluorescent and retro-reflective warning markings increase safety during use both day and night.

Being able to spot vehicles earlier, day or night, makes things safer for everyone on the road. Cars with warning markings are much easier to see in bad visibility, even when there's not much light. By affixing warning markings to vehicles, you increase the safety of your vehicles, emergency services and all other road users, as one third of all accidents occur in poor visibility conditions and at night.

What is retroreflection?

A beam of light that hits the reflective material is refracted by an optical system consisting of microprisms or mirrored glass spheres in such a way that it is reflected directly back to the light source. Retroreflection – ‘retro’ is Latin and means back, “reflectere” means ‘to bend back’. In ECE 104, retroreflection is defined as the reflection of light in directions close to the direction of incidence; this property is retained even with significant changes in the direction of the light flux. Manufacturers of warning markings achieve the retroreflective effect by incorporating tiny beads or microprisms.
