Clear Stickers are printed on transparent polypropylene for a polished, see-through effect. Clear Stickers are incredibly versatile with many finishing options - front or back adhesive, and individually sheeted, on rolls, or on rolls with perforation. They’re printed in full color with an optional white ink layer for opacity and can be finished with either a glossy or matte laminate to protect your design and enhance its look. Make sure to use either a fully vectorized file or a file with a transparent background for the elements you would like to be clear. 

Material & Technical Specs

Lamination

• Glossy UV Laminate: Provides a shiny, transparent finish while protecting against fading and water damage.
• Matte Laminate: Offers a soft, glare-free appearance and a semi-frosted look, giving your sticker a subtle, elevated finish. Ideal for a muted, high-end effect where full transparency isn’t required.

Both laminate types are water-resistant, UV-protective, and help your clear stickers last up to 18 months with proper use.

Material Thickness

• Polypropylene Facestock: 2 mil
• Total Thickness with Laminate: 3.4-3.6 mil
• Total Thickness with Backer: 8 mil

Adhesive Options

Choose between back adhesive or face adhesive, depending on where and how you plan to apply your stickers.

• Back Adhesive (default): Design faces outward when applied
• Face Adhesive: Design faces outward through glass when applied from the inside (great for windows and storefronts)

Both adhesives are all-temperature, permanent options that apply cleanly and adhere securely to smooth or lightly textured surfaces like glass, plastic, and metal.

Finishing Options

Clear Stickers can be printed as:

• Individually Cut Stickers: Great for giveaways, packaging, and direct handouts. Backing cut to your exact requested shape.
  • Note: These do not have split backing and must be peeled from the edge. Reach out to customer support for easy-to-peel options.
• Standard Rolls: Continuous format, ideal for bulk applications
• Perforated Rolls: Each sticker is separated by a tearable perforation

Rewind direction is customizable to match your applicator's requirements.

Artwork

We require either fully vectorized artwork or a file at least 300 DPI at your requested size, with a transparent background layer for clear artwork. We designate our clear material with a light blue background on your proof. Any area with that blue color will be transparent on your sticker, so make sure your art is set up with those areas in mind.
