Advanced Print & Finishing Technology

Print Direction & Orientation

Forward Printed (First-Surface): Standard print applied directly onto the exterior surface of the glass facing outward. Best for maximum optical impact on non-glare storefronts.

Reverse Printed (Second-Surface / Inside Glass): Artwork is mirror-printed onto clear self-adhesive vinyl or static cling. Applied to the inside of the glass facing outwards—protecting your graphic from harsh weather, vandalism, road salt, and window cleaners.

High-Density White Ink Layer

Without an opaque backing, standard CMYK inks appear washed out on clear glass when viewed against ambient light. Our UV-curable white ink provides vibrant density:

Selective White Ink: White ink is laid precisely behind design elements and text, making colors pop boldly while the unprinted clear areas remain 100% transparent.

Flood White Ink: An opaque solid white barrier coats the entire reverse side of the graphic.

Essential for clear film & static cling

Protective Lamination Finishes

Gloss & Matt Overlaminates: Crystal-clear barriers shielding against harsh solar UV radiation, abrasive glass cleaning detergents, and scratches.

Dry Wipe Lamination: Specially engineered non-porous gloss barrier that turns your decal into a dry-erase whiteboard. Ideal for rotating cafe daily menus, salon opening times, and retail promotional pricing.

Gloss, Matt, Dry Wipe or None

Step-by-Step Installation: Bubble-Free Application & Clean Removal

Whether installing a single window decal custom design or large stickers on glass windows, follow our professional application guide:

Deep Surface Cleaning

Clean glass thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid ammonia-based window cleaners, as they leave a residue that degrades custom decals for windows.

Alignment & Wet Mist

Position your graphic with masking tape. For large-format prints, mist the glass lightly with soapy water to allow easy repositioning.

Squeegee Center-Out

Using a firm felt-edge squeegee, smooth from the center outwards to push out all fluid and air bubbles. Allow 24 hours to cure firmly.

Effortless Heat Removal

To remove removable window stickers, warm the vinyl gently with a hairdryer for 20 seconds. Peel back at a 45° angle for 100% residue-free glass.

Artwork Guidelines & Custom Cut to Shape

Ensure your print files meet our pre-press technical standards for automated digital cutting:

Resolution & Bleed

• Supply files at 300 DPI at 100% scale in CMYK color mode.

• Include a minimum 3mm bleed beyond the finished cut edge on all sides.

• Keep critical text and logos at least 4mm inside the cutline safe zone.

Selective White Ink Layer

• Supply white ink vector shapes on a dedicated top layer named 'White'.

• Assign a 100% Spot Color named exactly 'Spot1' or 'White'.

• Enable 'Overprint Fill' in Adobe Illustrator so underlying colors aren't knocked out.

Custom Cut to Shape & Decals

• For custom shape cutting, create a continuous closed vector path around your design.

• Place the path on a separate layer named 'CutContour' with a 0.5pt 100% Magenta stroke.

• Avoid sharp needle points less than 2mm radius to prevent peeling on glass.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Window Stickers & Decals

Everything you need to know about ordering custom window decals and commercial glass stickers in the UK:

What is the difference between Forward Printed and Reverse Printed window stickers?

Forward Printed stickers have their adhesive on the back; they are installed onto the exterior surface of the window facing street-level viewers. Reverse Printed stickers are mirror-printed on transparent self-adhesive vinyl or static cling with the adhesive on the printed face. They are installed on the inside of the glass facing outward. Internal installation shields your graphic from rain, frost, graffiti, and aggressive street window cleaning.

When should I choose Selective White Ink over Full Flood White Ink?

Choose Selective White Ink when printing on Clear Vinyl or Clear Cling and your design features text, logos, or isolated graphics where you want the unprinted areas of the glass to remain 100% see-through. White ink is laid only behind colored pixels, making your logo rich and opaque while preserving natural light. Choose Full Flood White when you want an entirely opaque solid white backing across the whole area.

What is the difference between removable window stickers and static cling window stickers?

Removable Vinyl Stickers feature a low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive that holds firmly against wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, yet peels away cleanly without leaving adhesive residue. Static Cling Window Stickers contain zero glue; they adhere exclusively through static surface charge on high-energy polished glass. Clings can be peeled, stored on their backing liner, and reused for recurring seasonal campaigns.

Can you print custom window decals and cut to shape graphics?

Yes. In our instant calculator above, select Custom Size and specify any dimensions from 50mm up to 3000mm in width and 1350mm in height. For shapes, choose Square Corners for rectangles/squares or Cut to Shape for bespoke perimeter contour cutting matching your brand icon, circular badge, or bespoke silhouette.

What is Dry Wipe lamination and how is it used on retail glass?

Dry Wipe lamination applies an optically clear, non-porous gloss film over the print that functions as a dry-erase whiteboard. You can write prices, daily menus, or event schedules using standard whiteboard marker pens and wipe them clean with a microfiber cloth—without clouding the underlying graphics.

Do you offer frosted glass stickers for windows (acid etched effect)?

Yes. We manufacture architectural frosted glass window stickers for office meeting rooms, bathroom privacy, and corporate manifestations. It can be printed in full color, contour cut with logos, or supplied in custom solid privacy bands. Because frosted vinyl requires specialized architectural roll widths, simply use our Custom Quote sidebar or contact us for a rapid bespoke quotation.

What are one way window stickers (Contra Vision perforated film)?

One way window stickers are made from perforated vinyl featuring hundreds of micro-holes (typically 60/40 vinyl-to-hole ratio) with a black backing. Passersby outside see a rich, full-color advertising image, while people inside the building or vehicle can see straight out clearly. It is available on request via custom quotation.

Will window graphics cause thermal stress on double-glazed windows?

Standard cut vinyl decals, clear stickers, and light-colored films pose zero thermal risk. When installing 100% full-coverage dark solid vinyl on south-facing double glazing units, exterior application (Forward Printed) is recommended to reflect heat outward and prevent heat absorption between pane cavities.

Are custom car window decals safe for heated rear windscreens?

Yes. When applying custom car window decals or car window custom stickers to rear windscreens, external forward-printed application is standard to protect defroster heating element lines. When removing, apply gentle heat using a hairdryer from 10cm away for 20 seconds to soften the adhesive, then peel smoothly without metal scraper blades.

How long does printing and UK delivery take?

Standard production turnaround for custom window stickers is 2–3 working days following digital proof approval, followed by free tracked UK courier delivery. Express dispatch upgrades (24–48 hours) are selectable during checkout for time-sensitive promotions and grand openings.

How to Prepare Your Artwork

To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:

Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.

Understanding Paper Stocks & Finishes

Choosing the right paper stock can dramatically change the feel of your product. Here is a quick guide to our most popular options:

Silk / Uncoated: A natural, non-reflective finish that is highly readable and easy to write on. Perfect for letterheads, forms, and elegant brochures.
Gloss: A shiny coating that makes colours pop and images look incredibly vibrant. Ideal for flyers, posters, and photograph-heavy designs.
Matt Lamination: A smooth, sophisticated finish that dulls reflections and adds a premium, tactile feel to business cards and luxury presentation folders.
