Safety in the dark

Overview of the herlitz safety features

All* herlitz schoolbags are equipped with reflective materials of the quality brand 3M™ Scotchlite™. (*except herlitz Bliss)

3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective material is made up of thousands of tiny glass balls that reflect the impinging light, in bundled form, straight back to the light source. This way, your child's schoolbag will be easier to see and by valuable seconds especially during the dark winter season.

The materials of herlitz schoolbags have undergone highest quality manufacturing standards and are therefore very durable. They are resistant to scratches and similar traces of everyday use will not limit their functionality. For maximum safety, the reflective stripes of our schoolbags are not only located on the front and sides of the schoolbag but can also be found on the shoulder straps. Reflectors integrated in the locks provide additional visibility.

For some models, additional fluorescent materials in trendy neon colors have been used. These materials are dyed in neon color pigments, which reflect more visible light than actually shines on them and consequently they appear even brighter.

Therefore, the bright, attention-grabbing colors of our schoolbags’ fluorescent materials provide even more visibility, at dawn, dusk and throughout the day. Concerning the choice of colors for our models we focused on neon yellow, neon pink, neon orange, neon blue and neon green.
