Let's talk about custom-printed static cling window decals – a product that seems to be gaining popularity. Although we haven't provided much information about them on our website, it's time to change that. At our factory, we've added new capabilities to print static cling stickers, so we're ready to help you make your vision a reality.
What Are Static Clings?
Custom-printed static cling window decals are thin, flexible sheets made from specialized vinyl material. The material doesn't have any adhesive added to it, instead it uses static electricity to attach to smooth surfaces like glass.
This means that they can be easily removed without leaving any residue behind. Static cling decals are designed to adhere to smooth surfaces. This is excellent for certain applications. But without additional adhesive, it means they are more prone to coming loose in outdoor conditions.
Static Cling Decals for Windows
Some may argue that static cling decals aren't the best option for cars, and we must agree. Tinted windows, shorter lifespans, and lower visibility are just a few of the issues that can make them less effective than other options. However, custom static cling decals can be a great solution if you're looking for temporary window signage or Point Of Purchase displays. We offer a variety of custom printed static decal products you can choose from.
When it comes to static decals, you should keep in mind a few tips.
- First, if you want your message to be visible for an extended period, other options may better suit your needs. White Vinyl and Clear Polyester, for example, come with varying degrees of adhesive and can avoid some problems with transparent static cling material.
- Second, not all static cling materials are created equal. Some materials can hold their static charge for six months while on the backing paper, while others can last up to two years. So, if you plan on distributing your custom static window decals over a while, ask about the shelf life before making a purchase.
- Finally, Designing static window decals can be tricky. Static on the face of the sticker requires the decal to be custom printed in reverse on clear material, so it's essential to be mindful of how your design will look when reversed and how the inks and colors will appear when the decal is applied to a window.
These may seem like straightforward tips, but you'd be surprised at how many organizations still need to correct things regarding static window decal printing. For instance, some decals are printed without white ink on clear material or without considering the prevalence of tinted windows. Ink is translucent, so without a white background, they will likely be extremely difficult to see against a dark background such as a tinted window. Make sure you avoid these pitfalls, and your custom static window decals will be sure to make an impact.
As a provider of custom stickers, we have various options available for those interested in static cling products. Clear static cling vinyl decals with static on the face for inside window applications, clear static cling vinyl decals with static on the back (not for use on cars), and white static cling decals with static on the back for indoor POP, product, or mirror applications are just a few of the products we offer.

We also offer double-sided static cling window decals for store windows, service and oil change static decals with a write-on panel, and parking permits on clear static decals with numbering available. Our products are perfect for businesses, schools, and organizations looking for temporary advertising and information when adhesives could mar the product.
However, we understand that static cling decals may not always be the best option for everyone. For instance, while they work well on other surfaces like computer screens, televisions, and appliances, they are limited in application for car windows. Static cling stickers can only be applied on the inside of windows due to the way they are printed, severely limiting their promotional exposure. Additionally, they are more challenging to put on, more difficult for the public to see, and have a bit shorter lifespan than other options like white vinyl with removable adhesive.
