Question

What's the difference between reflective vinyl and reflective aluminum?

Answer

Both make signs glow under directed light, but one is a flexible sticker and the other is a rigid panel, so they suit different installations.

Feature	Reflective adhesive vinyl	Reflective aluminum
Form	flexible, self-adhesive film	rigid, freestanding panel
Applies to	vehicles, surfaces, existing structures	posts and permanent mounts
Strength	versatile, wraps and conforms	durable, long-term installs

Reach for vinyl when you need to wrap or stick to something, and aluminum when you want a standalone sign built to last.
