Starrey Reflective Tape 1 inch Wide 15 FT Long DOT-C2 High Intensity Fluorescent Yellow - 1 inch Trailer Reflector Safety Conspicuity Tape for Vehicles Trucks Bikes Cargos Helmets

I bought a plastic mailbox on Amazon that has a plastic flag that rolls upward when the box is open. The flag can be seen from the house and is an indicator that the mail arrived. What the mailbox company included with the box was a round yellow paper disk to peel half away and put on the side of the flag facing the house after mail is delivered. The yellow paper then can be more easily seen so one knows the mail is here. That paper disk did not seem to be waterproof, and it might well be, but I had the idea that if I could find yellow reflective tape to put on the flag, it would make the flag even more visible. So, I bought the 15 foot roll. I only needed a shade over an inch of tape. I put it on the plastic flag and was able to trim it to fit perfectly using a medical grade scissors. Lights up like a beacon and very easy to see. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with the other 14 feet, 11 inches. I’ll be checking my hard to see what else I can mark off for needed visibility.

Tape sticks well on flat surface although cold weather reduces the strength of the adhesive. Tape is very stiff. If the tape needs to be bent to fit a surface (even a mild bend), the stiffness of the tape will overpower the adhesive resulting in the tape coming loose from the surface (every time). But the tape is bright. Just be sure it is applied to a relatively flat surface.

Buena Reflectancia cuestionable adherencia

Every couple years my mailbox takes a hit by distracted drivers. It seems to always be at night, so I put some of this tape on post to give a bit more visibility. Seems decent, but time will tell if it stays adhered, and if people see it better than their phones... UPDATE 1-31-23 Well, After this period of time, I can leave feedback that takes into account time. Adhesion has been failing in last few months. Hoped remaining strips on mailbox would be sufficient until spring. Nope. Beautiful mailbox on my freshly manicured snowbanks when I woke up. LOL. I like it, but not sure its a long term solution, like my mailbox.

It appears there was no sticky to the tape, at least non that I could find, so I had to use my packaging tape to hold it in place, but now I can see the pipe guard when backing my car and not hit it and that was my goal.
