Retroreflective sheeting having improved resistance to delamination is prepared by imparting a grid pattern to a monolayer of glass spheres having a light reflecting layer thereon, applying a sphere binder layer over the grid pattern imposed on the monolayer of glass spheres so as to adhere to the reflective layer on the monolayer of glass spheres, and pressure consolidating the resulting composite against a clear, protective overlay film, wherein the overlay film bonds to the sphere binder layer in the grooves formed by the grid pattern. |
