Clear Window Clings

Window clings do not use an adhesive backing to stick om the surface. Window clings stick due to the vinyl material acting much like a suction cup when placed and pressed onto a smooth, non-porous surface such as glass, metal or plastic. We’ve written a more in-depth article about how static clings work if you need more information.

You have the freedom to customize your window cling to almost any size you want. Input the width and height you need on the calculator to do so. Take note there is a minimum and maximum dimension for the window clings. Clings can’t be smaller than 3” and no bigger than 300”. Clings smaller than 3” x 3” do not adhere as well and may result in printing that is not as clear due to our large format printers.

For the most part, window clings will work in a wide variety of climates. But we recommend displaying your window clings indoors. By selecting “Inside Glass” and using clear static clings, you can still advertise on the storefront and apply it behind the window. You avoid exposing the clear window clings to extremely humid, wet or frigid weather that can damage the display. Outdoor application on windows or vehicle windows is best in moderate weather and conditions.

Window clings will stick to any glass surface. In most cases, they will also stick to smooth surfaces like acrylic and solid plastics. They will not stick well to drywall, wood, and other similar surfaces. The surface they stick to must also be nonporous, which means it can’t have any pores or crevices where water and air come in. You can also apply the clear window cling on a solid unpainted surface.

Clings are most typically used inside. Although they can be used outdoors, we don’t normally recommend it. If you are going to use them outdoors make sure to follow installation instructions and remove them before any severe weather. Due to their ability to be removed and reapplied quickly and easily using them outdoors can work.

If you want them to display outside but be installed inside, select “Inside Glass” which means that we’ll reverse print your cling. You can then hang your cling on the inside of your storefront or window to be viewed by those outside or approaching your business. This method of printing accomplishes the visibility you want and keeps the cling out of the elements. However, make sure that your window isn’t tinted or the visibility of your cling will be limited.

We do not recommend clings be used on the exterior of any type of vehicle. They are not designed to be placed on cars and will fly off your vehicle if placed on it. We recommend our car decals or magnets for car signage.

If you follow the installation and storage instructions, your window clings can be removed and reused as often as you’d like. Removing them from the window should not leave behind any sticky adhesive residue.

Window clings are generally used by retail stores, restaurants, spas, salons, grocery stores and more. Typically, the signs themselves help promote sales and promotions, entice customers to enter the store, advertise store hours, decorate locations during holiday or seasonal times, and point of purchase advertising. Clings also work great for temporary settings such as trade show booths and conference centers.

Your window cling can be installed the same way as our window decals. First, ensure that the surface where you will be placing the window cling is clean and allowed time to completely dry. Peel away the cling from the lining, spray the cling and the window with water, then apply the cling and use a squeegee or a plastic card to firmly press the cling to the window and remove any excess water and air bubbles. Start from the middle of the cling and move outwards.

You can clean your cling by using soapy water and a damp cloth or sponge. Gently wipe the back of your cling to remove any dirt or grime build up. Then use clean water and a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any excess soap. Doing so regularly will help prolong the lifespan of your cling.
