Abstract: There is provided a reticulated reflective article, having a longitudinal direction and a width direction, comprising: a plurality of strands of a reflective material attached to one another at bridging regions in the reflective material and separable from one another between the bridging regions to provide openings in the reflective material, wherein the openings are expandable in at least one direction to provide a variably expandable area, and wherein the reflective materials comprises a reflective major surface and a non-reflective major surface, wherein each of the openings has a longitudinal dimension, a width dimension, and each of the plurality of strands has a thickness, and wherein the reticulated reflective article is expandable in at least both of the longitudinal direction and the width direction. There is also provided a reticulated reflective article, wherein the reticulated reflective article is expandable in at least two directions.
