What are Clear Stickers?
Clear stickers are transparent vinyl stickers that let your design take the spotlight without a visible background. Smooth to the touch and made for real-world use, they’re waterproof, weatherproof and durable enough for outdoor use for up to 6 years.
They’re especially effective on glass packaging, where the clear material helps your design blend seamlessly with the surface beneath.
Are Clear Stickers right for you?
Clear Stickers are ideal if you want:
- A transparent background that keeps the focus on your artwork
- A smooth matte finish for a clean, modern look
- Durable stickers for indoor or outdoor use
- Permanent adhesion that holds up to the elements
- A polished finish on glass, plastic, metal or packaging
They may not be the right fit if you need removable stickers, recyclable stickers, food-contact certified stickers, custom sizing, Printfinity, or stickers supplied on a roll.

They are not certified for direct food contact.

Finish and feel
Clear Stickers have a smooth matte finish, giving your design a clean, polished look without shine or added texture. They feel sleek to the touch and sit neatly on glass, plastic, metal and packaging.
You can write on them with permanent markers, but they’re not designed as a writing-first sticker. For notes, labels or hand-finished details, Matte Paper Stickers or Coated Paper Stickers may be a better fit.
Durability
Made for staying power, Clear Stickers are waterproof, weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use for up to 6 years.
They’re also UV-resistant to help prevent fading in sunlight, and can withstand temperatures up to 230°F. That makes them suitable for candles and other products that may experience warmth during use.
Adhesive and removal
Clear Stickers use permanent adhesion designed to stand up to the elements. The adhesive is transparent, so it won’t distract from your design or show through the sticker.
Because the adhesive is permanent, these stickers can be difficult to remove once applied.
Design and artwork tips
For the best print results, start with high-quality artwork and a carefully prepared file.
We recommend:
- Uploading artwork that is at least 300 DPI
- Using a PNG or Vector PDF file
- Uploading your design on a transparent background
- Keeping transparent elements transparent in your file, so those areas stay clear on the finished sticker
White and transparent areas behave differently in print. If your file has a white background, that background will print in white ink instead of showing the clear material underneath.
White areas in your design will print as white ink, or as a base beneath other colors. Transparent areas will stay clear and won’t receive a white ink base.
Our design tool will show all white areas in your uploaded file, so you can check your design before printing.
