Provided is an adhesive laminate and a method for making retroreflective tapes with the adhesive laminate. The adhesive laminate is coated and laminated on the conventional retroreflective substrate. The adhesive laminate comprises: a retroreflective substrate adhesive layer and a temporary carrier adhesive layer. The adhesive laminate may further comprise a cross-linking layer between the retroreflective substrate adhesive layer and the temporary carrier adhesive layer. The adhesive laminate has excellent adhesion to rubber articles. The conventional retroreflective substrate may be attached on the rubber articles firmly by the adhesive laminate. The adhesive laminate may not deform or be damaged during attachment process. The adhesive laminate also may not peel off from the rubber articles after use over time. Rubber articles with the adhesive laminate have lasting light-reflecting and alerting effects with enhanced safety.
