What are clear vinyl stickers? And how do you design & print them?
Clear vinyl stickers are sticker labels that are printed on transparent vinyl material. They can be printed with any colour or design, but the background will always be transparent. Clear vinyl sticker printing requires sticker printers specifically designed to print on transparent vinyl material. The advantage of clear vinyl sticker printing is that it gives the sticker a professional look while still being durable and waterproof. Clear vinyl sticker printing is often used for product labels, window decals, car decals, and signage. Sticker printers use a unique printing process to print on clear vinyl, which allows for full-colour printing without the background colour of the sticker showing.
Vinyl stickers are a versatile marketing tool because you can place them on almost any surface, including windows, walls, doors, and floors
How to Design Clear Vinyl Stickers
Step 1: Get inspiration.
You can look for inspiration online, in magazines, or even in nature for your design.
Step 2: Sketch out your design on paper.
This will help you visualise what you want your sticker to look like.
Step 3: Create your design using image editing software.
You can use many different programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or a free tool like Gimp. Scan or upload your sketch to the software and start creating your design. Save your design as a print-ready file, such as a PDF or EPS.
Now that your design is ready, it’s time to print your stickers!
Clear Vinyl Sticker Printing Process
Printing vinyl stickers is similar to any other type of digital printing. The design is first created as a digital file, and then printed onto the vinyl paper using a large format printer. You have to specify the correct printing size. In addition, you can print them on one sheet.
