3M 8725 Silver Reflective Transfer Film
3M Scotchlite 8725 combines reflective lenses with heat-activated adhesive. The manufacturer describes direct transfer onto compatible fabric for strips, symbols and logos. The drawing and substrate should be reviewed together before a sample is made.
Define the strip or logo format
For a strip, specify width and placement. For a logo, send a vector file at its intended size so line widths, small gaps and garment layout can be reviewed. Versions with or without 3M identification markings should be checked against the exact product variant; a surface photograph alone does not identify it.
Information for a 8725 request
- The full material code, approved specification and a photograph of the roll label if available.
- A drawing showing dimensions, placement and required quantity.

Validate adhesion on the actual fabric
Evaluate the material on the actual substrate and at the intended position. Review appearance, edge adhesion and performance after the proposed care process. Application settings must follow the documents for the exact code, the equipment and the sample results. Record the approved material code and lot before production.
