What is a clear sticker?

The term "clear" tells you what your stickers are printed on (a see-through material), and the term "sticker" indicates that you will receive individually cut stickers.

So, clear stickers are individually cut sticky pieces that are printed onto transparent material.

When peeled and applied, clear stickers can look like this:

Looking at these, it's not hard to understand why everyone loves clear stickers, right? They blend in perfectly with the surface they're applied to and have a sleek, modern look.

In this blog post, we’ll not only show you how amazing these stickers are, but also answer your most frequently asked questions about them. Let’s jump right in.

What makes clear stickers special?

Clear stickers are unique because the transparent vinyl base gives you plenty of ways to make your design stand out. Here are some ideas:

• Include clear areas in your design and let the transparency shine through. Just leave those parts unprinted.
• Create bold, opaque colors on a clear base. We print a layer of white ink under your design to make colors vibrant and crisp.
• Print colors directly on the material to get a stained-glass effect. It’s a great way to create something visually striking.

That’s just a short list of tips. We go deeper into how to create clear stickers in another article.

What size are clear stickers printed in?

Any size you want.

When you order custom clear stickers, there’s no such thing as a standard size. You can choose whatever dimensions work best for your use.

That flexibility makes custom stickers great for branding, promos, packaging, or even personal projects like scrapbooking.

What are back adhesive clear stickers?

Most stickers are back adhesive. That means the sticky side is on the back, behind the design. You peel off the backing and stick it to a surface, with the design facing outward.

What are front adhesive clear stickers?

Front adhesive stickers are the opposite. The glue is on the front, on top of your design. So when you peel the backing, you’re looking at the design itself.

Why would you want that? These are perfect for applying to the inside of windows or glass surfaces. You can place your branding on the inside of your storefront window to protect it from rain, scratches, or vandalism.

Transparent vs. clear stickers

There’s no difference between transparent and clear stickers. Some printers use both terms, but they mean the same thing.

Both are stickers printed on see-through material with pressure-sensitive adhesive. No matter what you call them, they look fantastic.

FAQs

Since our clear stickers are fully custom, some questions can be hard to answer in one sentence. Below are the most common ones. If yours isn’t listed, just reach out and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

Are clear stickers waterproof?

Yes, our clear stickers are printed on waterproof vinyl and laminated with a clear gloss film.

This makes them water- and weatherproof as well as scratch-resistant. You can use them indoors or outdoors without worrying about damage.

How much do clear stickers cost?

Since everything is customized, pricing depends on:

• the size of your sticker
• the quantity you order

You can use the price calculator on the clear stickers page for an exact quote. But here's a general idea for one of our most popular sizes (2x2 cms):

• 25 stickers = $12
• 50 stickers = $21
• 100 stickers = $32
• 500 stickers = $52
• 1000 stickers = $77

Psst... there's no minimum order. You can even get just one sticker if you want.

How transparent are clear stickers?

Our clear stickers are highly transparent and almost invisible against most surfaces. The gloss laminate gives them a clean, polished look.

For a true no-label effect, go with a simple shape so the cut line disappears into the background.

Why don’t you offer clear matte stickers?

We stick with a glossy finish because it enhances the transparency of the material.

If you’re placing a large order, you can request a matte laminate instead. Just contact us first. Keep in mind that a matte finish will reduce the clarity and transparency of the sticker.
