OUTSMART THE DARK
with 3M™ Diamond Grade™ DG3 Reflective
To help ensure road safety, we must consistently and effectively provide drivers with critical information and visual cues—particularly in adverse conditions (rain, fog, snow, dusk/dawn, etc).
It starts with bright, highly retroreflective road signs.
Why Choose 3M™ Diamond Grade™ Sheeting?
- The efficient full-cube prismatic technology behind 3M™ Diamond Grade™ DG³ Reflective Sheeting reflects almost 60% of available light back to motorists. This is almost two times more than High Intensity (Type IV) sheeting.
- Fluorescent sheeting makes efficient use of light by converting invisible light to visible light.
- Fluorescence command the attention of drivers – day and night – and is particularly effective in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk and inclement weather.
- 3M™ Diamond Grade™ DG3 Reflective Sheeting has twice the brightness of our lower-grade sheeting.
- DG³ Reflective Sheeting outperforms both the select competition and other 3M reflective sheeting products in the most common sign locations.
- Brighter sheeting is more visible to drivers and has been shown to increase safety by cutting nighttime crashes by 25 to 46%

How Full-Cube Technology is Transforming Road Safety
Discover how Full-Cube Technology from 3M is transforming road safety by enhancing the visibility of traffic signs. Unlike traditional signage, which often assumes driver visibility from directly above headlights, the advanced 3M design accounts for real-world driving conditions. With brighter and more visible signs, drivers can react faster, potentially reducing nighttime accidents by up to 46%.
Learn about the differences between Type XI sign sheeting technologies, and how 3M full-cube micro-prismatic technology surpasses traditional truncated cube methods by providing 100% active areas.
