Custom Clear Stickers for That Clean Look
Great on Glass and Plastic
Perfect for bottles, jars, storefront windows, and other cosmetic packaging, these clear stickers apply smoothly to glass and plastic surfaces. The transparent background keeps the focus on your design while still delivering a polished, professional look.
Still Tough
Clear does not mean fragile; these clear vinyl stickers are designed to handle everyday wear. Thanks to their waterproof and scratch-resistant materials, your design remains vibrant and sharp for years to come.
Blends Right In
Clear vinyl creates a floating look where the artwork appears printed directly on the surface. The transparent background blends seamlessly into any glass or see-through packaging while keeping your brand the top priority.
The Art of Transparency
Clear stickers create a direct-to-surface look without bringing the cost or complexity of specialized equipment. These stickers create a no-label appearance that feels like it's built into the product itself. By allowing light and other background elements to interact with your design, the transparent areas add depth, dimension, and a creative flexibility that regular white-backed stickers cannot achieve. This allows for complete control over how your artwork interacts with glass, plastic, and other see-through surfaces.

- Never flatten/merge layers in a PSD file
- Indicate the cut line clearly for all sticker products
Vector Art
Vector art consists of lines and curves that are mathematically defined objects. When viewing art in key line mode you can see the points or vectors when connecting your lines and curves. They can also be seen when using the pen tool or editing the points along a path. Vector art is ideal for type and drawn shapes because they can be enlarged to any size while maintaining crisp outlines and details without sacrificing quality. The distance between the vectors is calculated mathematically and is not dependent upon resolution.
Raster Art
Raster images consist of colored squares, called pixels. They are created by combining a series of various colored pixels. Digital photographs are made up of pixels. If you view a raster image at 200% or more you are able to see the individual pixels that make up the image. Raster images are dependent upon resolution so image enlargement is limited by the individual size at which the file was created. If a file is produced at a size that is larger than its resolution will allow, the quality will decrease. Printing a low resolution file will result in pixelation. Individual pixels are large enough to be easily discernable. Increasing the resolution will not solve this problem if there are not enough pixels to begin with. The program will add more pixels based upon the estimation of their location and will then assign their neighboring pixels's color value. This may cause an image to look muddy.
If submitting these files, please follow the guidelines below:
- 100% scale (full size output) at 100 dpi
- 50% scale at 200 dpi or higher
- 25% scale at 300 dpi or higher
- 10% scale at 600-1200 dpi recommended
Design Services
If you are not able to provide us with a good quality image, we do have a vectorizing/recreating service available. Most logos or images can be recreated for as little as $15; however images with more detail are subject to quoting prior to vectorizing the image. Please contact a sales representative for more details.
This service needs to be paid for in advance and we will be happy to give you a copy of the vector file once it is complete.
What should I know before ordering clear stickers?
Everything you need to know about clear stickers
Clear stickers are transparent vinyl stickers with no background color, so any area without ink remains see-through—making them ideal for windows and other see-through surfaces.
Any area not covered by your printed design will remain clear, so transparency depends on your artwork and placement.
Clear stickers are available with a gloss finish only, which provides a smooth finish and protects against scratches and moisture.
Clear stickers range from 2" × 2" up to 12" × 12".
They adhere best to clean, dry, smooth surfaces and won’t stick well to dirty, dusty, or heavily textured surfaces.
With proper installation and care, clear stickers can last 3+ years, and inside-window applications can last longer due to reduced weather exposure.
No—clear stickers are intended to be permanent once applied; for a removable option, choose window clings instead.
