Read on to find out more. For a deeper dive into all things clear stickers, head over to our blog post "Clear stickers: What they are and how to use them"

What are clear vinyl stickers?

As the name suggests, these stickers printed onto clear vinyl. You will often come across terms like transparent stickers or see-through stickers to describe these. All of these refer to the same: A sticker printed onto a material with a transparent background.

However, a clear vinyl sticker is not your only clear option. We also offer an eco-friendly clear sticker for those who are looking to brand sustainable products or simply want a plastic-free option.

The product description clear vinyl sticker does not entail the shape of your sticker. You are still free to opt for sticker sheets, a round sticker or even a die-cut sticker printed onto our clear material.

How do you make vinyl stickers clear?

Our clear vinyl stickers get their amazing effect from the material they are printed on. We use a clear, 50-micron thick polypropylene to create these transparent looks.

This is then laminated with a clear gloss made from a 20-micron polypropylene film. We highly recommend using a gloss laminate to finish your stickers as it highlights their transparency and protects your design from water, scratches and fading in the sunlight.

You can find out more about clear vinyl in our material data sheet right here and learn about how clear stickers are made.

Designing custom clear stickers

When you opt for custom clear stickers, you will not get stuck with just another generic sticker design. Instead, you can submit your own artwork.

If you have no design experience or are not quite sure about how to create artwork, simply head over to Graphic, our free online design tool. There, you will find hundreds of pre-made templates and elements to browse and edit until you are 100% happy.

With Graphic, you can create a quality logo for your business, stickers for a shop window or even sticker sheets with multiple designs.

Did you know that there are different ways you can use colour on clear vinyl stickers?

When colour is printed onto the clear material, it creates an amazing stained-glass effect as the transparent material still shines through. If you want parts of your design or your entire design to appear in opaque, normal colours, we print white ink behind these areas.

Simply let us know your white areas when you check out and our design team will action that for you. You will see a mock-up of that in the digital design proof we send you before printing your stickers.
