Opaque Window Decals

We print all of our signs and decals in full color. Thus, a sign or design with more than two colors will not increase the cost of your sign. For reduced pricing you can make your decal smaller or order any quantity of identical decals greater than one for bulk pricing.

The decal will not damage your window in any way. Even if residual adhesive is left after removing the decal this can generally be removed with a cleaner or sharp edge. The only potential for damage is while using a sharp edge for installation or removal. Be careful not to scratch your window when doing either of these things.

Custom opaque window decals can be used both for a home or business setting. Home uses include signs declaring no soliciting, no trespassing, “please knock”, security signage, etc. Business uses are far more common and can be used for everything from business hours to sales and promotions to posting store rules such as “employees must wash hands” and even surveillance decals.

Yes! This option is called inside glass and is made possible by a reverse print on an opaque material. This option can be selected on our design tool under the “Print Surface” option.

The decal will work on many other surfaces. In general these surfaces would include any smooth and non-porous surface such as plastic, tile, smooth metal and more. Avoid textured or porous surfaces such as unfinished concrete, stucco, brick and more.

The first step in installing your decal is to ensure that you have properly cleaned and marked the surface where it will be placed. Using a wet rag and water clean the surface of any dirt, grime or existing grease. Allow the window or surface to completely air dry. Use a dry erase marker or other temporary writing instrument to mark where the decal will be placed on your window. This is important for proper alignment and spacing. Needless to say marking where the decal will be placed is not mandatory but will help with the installation of bigger decals or those that must be installed to exact measurements or aligned with existing signage. Once these two steps are done you are ready to install your decal. The first step is to peel the decal away from the backing that is protecting the adhesive side of the decal. After removing the backing spray the window with water using any regular water bottle. You should also spray the back side, or adhesive side of the decal. Spray both generously as the water on the window and the decal will give you “wiggle room” while installing the decal. This will ensure that even if there are air bubbles when originally placed that the decal can be repositioned or peeled back before the adhesive properties take hold. Once the decal and window surface are wet you should lightly press the decal against the window. Use a squeegee to remove excess water and air as you have the decal positioned as you want. Once the decal and window dry the adhesive properties will kick in. After this point your decal will not be repositionable.

For decals larger than approximately 24”x24” we would recommend having 2 or more people install the decal. Having additional hands makes it much easier to prevent the decal from sticking to itself and for installing it without big air bubbles or pockets remaining. Always remember to use water both on the window and the backside of the decal so that you give yourself wiggle room before it is semi-permanently adhered to the surface.

The opaque windows decals are semi-permanent in nature. This means that you will not be able to install them and then remove and store them for future use. While you will be able to remove them without much trouble, trying to remove and store them will result in a damaged or very poor looking decal! If you are attempting to store your new decal prior to installation, make sure you store it flat and in moderate temperature.
