Clear Stickers are available with front or back adhesive, and the best choice depends on where you plan to apply your stickers. Front adhesive is perfect for the inside of a transparent surface, such as a window or inside a glass display case. Back adhesive is the traditional choice, where the adhesive is on the back of the sticker facing outward.

When ordering, just select your finishing preference of either front or back adhesive, after selecting the shape, size, and quantity you want for your custom stickers. 

About Back Adhesive Stickers

Back adhesive is the most commonly used option and is meant for standard applications on nearly any surface. The adhesive on these stickers will be behind your custom design. With a clear background behind your design, these stickers look great on opaque surfaces!

Ways To Use Clear Stickers With A Back Adhesive

  • When you want the product beneath the sticker to be visible.
  • Get multiple looks from the same great sticker. Placing Clear Stickers on dark surfaces can give you a distinctively different look than when applied to light or transparent surfaces.

Front Adhesive Stickers

Front adhesive works best for placing custom stickers on the inside of clear surfaces. When printing Clear Stickers with front adhesive, we reverse the design so the adhesive is in front of your logo, ensuring a great appearance when applied inside.

Ways to Use Clear Stickers with Front Adhesive

  • Brand your business by showcasing causes you support or easily sharing product information in storefront windows.
  • Use them as window stickers inside a car windshield to help prevent accidental damage.
  • Show your support for local business districts and community organizations.

When choosing a Clear Sticker design, always keep in mind where your sticker will be applied. For stickers you plan on applying to a tinted window, you can keep your designs sharp by adding a white or brightly colored outline around any darker areas in your design.
