Custom Printed Window Clings.

A static cling holds to glass by surface tension alone, with no adhesive layer at all. That means it peels off with no residue and can often be reused if it is stored flat.

It needs smooth, clean glass to grip. Textured, dusty or frosted surfaces give it nothing to hold on to.

Heat and direct sun lift the edges of a cling, so a sun-facing shop window is the hardest place to use one. Large clings also peel under their own weight over time, while small ones last much longer.

We would rather tell you that before you order. UV-stable inks keep the print from fading on a sunny pane, but the cling itself may still lift.

For longevity we prefer reverse printing, where the design is mirrored and the cling goes on the inside of the glass. The print reads through the window and sits away from rain, cleaning and passing hands.

Front printing suits clings that face into the room, such as notices on a door read from inside. Tell us which side will be viewed and we'll set up the artwork to match.

We add a white blockout layer behind the artwork so daylight cannot shine through it. Without one, colours on a window read pale from the street, especially when the sun is behind them.

White-backed cling stock gives an opaque base for full-colour designs. Clear cling is the choice when you want the glass to show around the graphics, such as opening hours or a logo.

Choose low-tack adhesive vinyl when the graphic has to stay up for a long time, particularly on sunny or large panes. The light adhesive holds the edges down in heat and still comes away cleanly when you replace it.

Clings remain the better fit for rotating content like seasonal offers, permits and hours. We can quote both if you're unsure which the window needs.

We print clings to any size, and die-cut them to a contour when the design calls for a shape. Bigger clings are more likely to peel under their own weight, so a very large graphic may work better as several panels.

Measure the visible glass inside the frame, then leave a margin so the cling does not ride up against the seal.

Window clings have a minimum of 500 per design. That suits a chain of stores or a franchise rollout, where every location needs the same seasonal graphic at once.

Because clings can be reused if kept flat between seasons, one run can also cover the same promotion when it comes round again next year.

Production time for clings is 7 to 10 business days after proof approval, with rush at 5 to 7. We include application instructions: clean the glass, wet-apply and squeegee the water out.

A sample takes 5 to 7 business days, which is enough time to try it on your own window before the full run. Its cost is credited toward that run.
