Technical Specifications Window Clings

Make your message stand out on glass with custom window clings. Ideal for shop windows, office glass and temporary promotions, window clings are designed to be easy to apply, reposition and remove without leaving adhesive residue.

What material are window clings made from?

Window clings are made from transparent PET film.

The material is designed for glass applications and allows the printed graphic to sit neatly against the window.

What sizes are available?

Available sizes include:

• 600 × 450mm

• 900 × 600mm

• 1200 × 1000mm

• 2000 × 1000mm

• Custom size, where available

Check the product page for the available dimensions and any requirements for custom-size artwork.

How do window clings attach to glass?

Window clings use a light static-cling effect rather than conventional glue-based adhesive. They are designed to apply to glass, be repositioned and be removed without leaving adhesive residue.

For the best results, apply them to a clean, smooth glass surface.

Can window clings be viewed from inside or outside?

Window clings can be configured for different viewing directions, depending on the product options selected.

Check whether you need the design to be viewed from outside the window or from inside the building before ordering. The print direction and artwork setup should match your intended display.

What cutting options are available?

Square-corner cutting is available, with options depending on the product selected. Check the product page for the current cutting choices before preparing your artwork.

What printing process is used?

Window clings are digitally printed to produce clear text, detailed graphics and vibrant colour.

The available print settings depend on the product configuration. Follow the artwork template and product guidance when preparing your file.

How should I prepare my artwork?

For the best print results:

• Set up artwork to the finished size.

• Use 300dpi resolution.

• Use CMYK colour mode.

• Supply a PDF with fonts embedded or outlined.

• Add 3mm bleed and allow a 3mm safe area where specified by the product guidance.

• Check the required viewing direction and any white-ink requirements.

• Review the proof carefully before approving it.

Always follow the artwork template for your selected size and print direction.

How should I apply and care for window clings?

• Clean the glass thoroughly before application.

• Ensure the surface is dry and free from dust or grease.

• Apply carefully to minimise trapped air.

• Reposition gently if needed.

• When removed, store the cling flat and protected if you intend to reuse it.

Reusability depends on the condition of the material and how it is handled and stored.

Are window clings suitable for every surface?

Window clings are intended for suitable smooth glass surfaces. They may not perform as expected on rough, textured or unsuitable surfaces.

They are not the same as adhesive window stickers, so choose the format that best suits your display and application needs.
