More About Our Clear Self Adhesive Vinyl
Clear vinyl graphics are a great choice for windows or if you would like the surface you’ve placed the sticker on to show through. The printed graphic is solid colour but the vinyl it’s printed on is clear once the backing is removed, so light can shine through if used on windows for example. If your vinyl graphic is to be displayed through a window we can reverse print the graphic to accommodate this, and add flood white if requested.
Understanding Your Clear Vinyl Graphic Options
Firstly decide if your vinyl graphic will be displayed straight on the surface or if it needs to be reverse printed to be displayed through a window for example. If it is to be displayed in this way choose the ‘reverse print option’ when ordering.
Next choose your backing option. Clear vinyl will allow visibility and let light through around your graphic, flood white backing will block all light and visibility around the graphic. Choose the ‘no white’ option if you would like the backing to be clear.
As well as offering standard shaped vinyl graphics we can cut your graphic to a custom shape after printing. We even offer interior cutting which allows you to have exposed areas in the middle of the design.

Clear Self Adhesive Vinyl Printing FAQs
What are clear self-adhesive vinyl graphics?
Clear Self Adhesive Vinyl is a transparent vinyl that when printed will remain transparent through the ink. No white ink will be printed, so any white areas on your artwork will be clear. The suitability of this vinyl will depend on the finish you are looking for, the application, and the amount of time intended for its use.
How do I order the correct size?
Simply measure the area you wish to fill and enter this on our website using your preferred unit of measurement. Please note, it is advisable to order your vinyl a few millimetres larger than you require in order to account for any surface deficiencies. You can then simply trim any excess that there may be once installed. We also advise that there may be up to a 3mm size tolerance on your finished vinyl. This can be due to a variety of factors such as trimming, temperatures, and lamination.
How big can you print clear vinyl graphics?
We can print any size you require, but it may be split into sections. The roll widths (at industry standard) are as follows:
- Clear Self Adhesive Vinyl - 1350mm
Where can self-adhesive vinyl graphics be used?
They are recommended for use on smooth, flat surfaces that have been properly prepared beforehand.
Can self-adhesive vinyl graphics be used outdoors?
Yes! Our vinyl graphics are weatherproof and printed with waterproof and scratch-resistant eco-solvent inks.
How do I design a clear vinyl graphic?
The first thing to decide when ordering a clear vinyl graphic is whether you will be displaying it on the outside or inside of your chosen surface. If you decide to display from within, then you will need to select the “Reverse Print” option so it appears the correct way around when viewed from outside. You will also have to decide whether you want a backing for your vinyl graphic, which will block visibility of the surface behind it.
Can you custom cut an image?
Graphics can be contour cut to any shape from an .ai file containing your cut path. If you're unable to provide a cut path, please select File Assist.
