Opaque Window Clings

Yes, we offer several shape options for our opaque window clings including square/rectangle, rounded corners with a ¼” radius or 1” radius, circle/oval, and custom with border (previously known as or sometimes referred to as halo). Custom with Border is a great option for opaque window clings as it leaves a nice white boarder around your entire design. Wether you select the option Custom With Border, Custom, or otherwise, you can customize your cling to any shape or size.

If you are looking for individually cut vinyl letters for your storefront or home windows, you are most likely looking for vinyl lettering which is a different product entirely.

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. Opaque window clings are not designed to be used on cars and will fly off your vehicle. 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.

Your window cling can be installed in much the same way as our window decals. First, ensure that the surface where you will be placing the window cling is both cleaned and allowed time to completely dry. Peel away the cling from the back lining, spray the cling and the window with light water and dish soap solution (we recomend 3 drops of dish soap to 1 gallon of water), then apply the cling and use a squeegee or a credit card to firmly press the cling to the window and remove the water. Start from the middle of the cling and move outwards.

As long as the surface is completely cleaned before installation, you may also simply apply the cling to the surface without the water and dish soap solution—just use the squeegee to get a firm “cling”. A dry install might not cling to the surface as long as a wet install but is faster and easier.

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.

If you plan on storing your opaque cling for future use you need to keep the lining that it originally comes on. You can use this lining to carefully put the cling back on and store in a cool and dry room with a sheet of paper or wax paper on both sides.

If you don’t have the lining, simply store them flat between sheets of wax paper.

Do not roll or fold your clings. Removing creases and curls is difficult.
