Reflective piping
A reflective piping is a special form of piping that is particularly used in workwear and work shoes. It combines functionality with aesthetics and serves as a narrow, reflective trim or edging that both adds visual accents and enhances the wearer's safety.
Piping itself is a traditional technique in textile processing. In this process, an overhanging piece of fabric is wrapped around a piece of yarn. The result is an elevated trim that is often found at the edges of clothing or other textile products. It not only provides an aesthetic value but also reinforces and protects fabric edges.
In the world of work, where safety is paramount, reflective piping has proven to be particularly valuable. Instead of using wide reflective strips, as is common in high-visibility clothing, these narrow reflective piping can increase the wearer's visibility. This is especially crucial in poor lighting conditions, twilight, or at night to be better perceived by others, especially by vehicle drivers.
By integrating reflective material into the piping, you get a design element that is not only visually appealing but also functional. It simplifies the design of workwear because you are not reliant on conspicuous and often less fashionable reflective strips, yet still meet safety requirements.
