Reflective sticker maker offers free Halloween visibility safety kits


A Minnesota maker of reflective safety gear is giving away kits to increase the night-time visibility of Halloween costumes.

Chuck Gruber cites State Farm research showing that Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians.

His Oakdale-based company — which the Business Journal profiled in August— is giving away 10-square-inch adhesive strips of reflective material that parents can stick on children's costumes.

The removable strips have silicone-based tape on the back; on the front, millions of tiny beads will reflect car headlights.

Gruber offered three tips to maximize visibility using the reflective tapes:

Put the strips on all sides of the costume — front, back, left and right — to reflect light in all directions.
Use the strips to outline the shape of a human body to be easily recognizable as a person.
Put strips on extremities that move — arms, hands, legs, and ankles — to further heighten visibility.
