Start with the uniform laundry process
Provide the washing method, chemicals, drying process and acceptance requirements at the enquiry stage. If uniforms go through a central laundry, use that actual process when assessing the applied sample rather than a different care routine.
Information needed for a 9720 sample
- The full material code, approved specification and a photograph of the roll label if available.
- A drawing showing dimensions, placement and required quantity.
- The actual substrate, fabric composition and stretch or flexing at the application area.
- The intended washing, drying or cleaning process and finished-product acceptance requirements.
- The required sample date and delivery schedule for supply review.
Confirm the current material documents
The linked Product Bulletin was issued in September 2015. Confirm that the documents remain applicable to the exact code, lot and order requirements. Historical certification statements or wash figures should not become automatic commitments for a new order.
Test the applied construction
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.
Frequently asked questions
Does Industrial Wash mean any cleaning process is acceptable?
Check the conditions in the technical documents and test the finished construction. The product group name does not cover every chemical, temperature or number of cycles.
How should the application settings be selected?
Use guidance for 9720, then validate the equipment settings on the production fabric. A setting established for another reflective film should not be assumed suitable.

Discuss your material or label requirement
Compare the intended care process with other 3M reflective materials before selecting the final specification. Please contact Vu Thua with your drawing, sample and quantity so the proposed specification can be reviewed.
