Reflective Tape

MasseyWV · Feb 16, 2012

Does anyone know a good source to purchase red/white reflective tape for use on an 18ft carhauler trailer? Locally, the stuff tends to be very expensive so I'd like to save a buck or two by purchasing it online.

Walmart has it for half that price.

Thanks, I never thought to look at Walmart. Better yet, it's local but it looks like it's a "China brand", so typical of Wallyworld.

The price is great but how has it held up? One of the reviews which said "This product will not hold up to the elements." concerns me a little.

Findtape.com is another one but I think dp's Harbor Freight link is actually a little cheaper.

I don't know how price competitive it is, but I bought some at TSC.

You can go direct too. A little better price than Northern:

Based on what I've been able to locate so far, $18.99 for a package of 6 strips isn't bad, especially for the good 3M stuff made in the USA. And the best part is that 2 packages would provide the exact quantity that I need.
