What Are Opaque Window Clings?
Window clings (sometimes known as static clings or static window clings) are similar to decals as they are printed onto a thin white vinyl material that can be easily applied to a smooth surface. Unlike decals, however, window clings stick to glass and other smooth surfaces without any adhesive. No sticky adhesive means no mess plus the benefit of being able to reuse and reposition your cling as you please. Opaque window clings are the perfect choice for temporary signage.
Opaque window clings are printed in full color with high resolution digital UV Ink. Having a brilliant print means you can proudly display a fantastic design in minutes with an opaque window cling. Although these window clings are not intended for vehicle use or other exterior applications, they provide excellent window signage for any occasion.

Create your opaque cling in whatever shape you want. Plus with advanced digital printing, your design will be full color at no additional cost.
Your cling can be up in minutes. If you feel it needs to be moved or adjusted, no problem—simply peel it off and move it wherever you like.
Need a temporary signage solution that can be used over and over again? Opaque window clings are the perfect seasonal option.
Unlike window decals, you don’t have to worry about any messy or tedious clean up after removing your custom window clings.
Removable and Repositionable
With clings, you’re in full control whenever you want to move or take down your design. Window clings can be placed on a window, removed when needed, then reused again. In comparison to decals, window clings have the added benefit of not leaving any adhesive residue when taken down.
Repositioning your cling is simple. Just peel it away from the surface and put it back wherever you want. A little water with a couple drops of dish soap works wonders to get your cling adjusted on the window just right. Use a squeegee to remove air pockets and excess water then let it dry. See the installation instructions for more details.
When you are done displaying your cling, you can store it for later use by putting it back on the white backing that came with your cling. You can also use wax paper if you no longer have the backing. Store your cling flat, in a cool, dry place.
Advanced Printing
Opaque window clings are printed in full color with UV ink using a digital printing process. This means that no matter how simple or detailed your design, you can expect a clear image and text on your cling.
Whether your design is one color or multicolor, your cost is the same. If you don’t have a design ready but have an idea of what you’d like we can help. Take advantage of our free design services and we’ll help you get the perfect window cling display.
When your design uses a color or image background, opaque window clings are perfect. Keep in mind that you can also get a clear window cling if you are looking for something more transparent.

Display
Inside Glass
Choosing inside glass in the options means that your design will be printed on the same side as the “cling” side. This option allows you to display your design outside while the cling is attached to the inside surface. This is perfect for increasing the longevity of your cling as well as ensuring it doesn’t get damaged or stolen by passersby.
Standard
The standard option allows your cling to be placed on the outside of the window. Use this option if you have tinted windows or the surface is solid. Or if you want your cling to display opposite of the cling side.
Shape
Square/Rectangle
Perfect for rectangular designs. Your cling will be a square or rectangle depending on the dimensions you choose on our design tool.
Rounded Corners
Your cling will be a square or rectangle depending on the dimensions you choose on our design tool. You can choose either ¼” or ½” radius on rounded corners.
Circle/Oval
The shape of your cling will be a circle or oval based on the dimensions you choose on our design tool.
Custom
Design your custom window cling as whatever custom shape you want. Feel free to use our free design services to help you do this!
Custom with Border
Similar to custom shape clings, you’ll get a cling in the shape you desire with a white border of ¼” to ½” around the perimeter of your design.

How to Install Opaque Window Clings
Applying your window cling can be done in a few simple steps. All you need is the window cling, a clean surface, a soap and water mixture in a spray bottle, and a squeegee (available for purchase with a window cling).
Thoroughly clean the surface of the glass or non-porous surface you’re applying the window cling to. Use water or any other household window cleaner.
Once the surface is clean, gently peel the white backing away from the cling.
Use a light soap and water mixture to spray the window and the non-printed side of your cling (the front for inside glass window clings or the rear for outside glass, or standard surface, window clings). While a light wet application is recommended, your cling can be applied without using the soapy water solution.
Apply the cling to the surface by starting at the top, applying pressure as you work your way to the bottom.
Use a squeegee* to remove excess water and bubbles.
*Available for purchase with opaque window clings and other decal products.
Once dry, your window cling will adhere to the window while still being removable and repositionable!

Care
Custom opaque window clings can be easily cleaned using a damp cloth or paper towel. Gently wipe dirt or residue from the surface of the cling and surrounding window. When needing to store the window cling, simply remove it from the window, wipe it down to remove any surface dirt, then re-apply the protective backing on the ‘adhesive’ side. If you don’t have the protective backing, wax paper can be used as a protective backing.

Questions and Answers
Our window clings can be used on a variety of smooth polished surfaces, including glass, plastic, chrome, and high-gloss smooth, painted surfaces.
Opaque window clings are great for blocking the view inside the window or outside of the window. If you are looking for a material that can adhere to a backlight for spot light, you may check the Backlit Decals, as they are designed specifically to shine. The semi-translucent vinyl defuses light evenly, making for brilliant advertising and business displays.
It's at the top end of the heat range, so it won't melt under 150 degrees, but it may affect the lifespan of the product.

8.5x11 window cling would work as a sign. Just make sure to make the letters big for readability.

Our custom opaque window clings are made from 0.17” white vinyl. The material itself is a non-adhesive static cling signage option. This means it contains no adhesive glues which allows for easy installation, removal, and reuse. Custom window clings adhere to the surface of the window due to the vinyl working like mini-suction cup.
Opaque window clings are not transparent. Thus, by default, the background of your sign will be white. If you want a transparent background you should check out our clear window clings.
Opaque window clings are different from opaque window decals in the way that they stick to smooth surfaces. A window cling sometimes known as a static cling adheres to smooth surfaces similar to a suction cup. A decal, on the other hand, has a sticky adhesive which creates a bond between the vinyl and the attaching surface. Clings are perfect for temporary solutions such as advertisements and promotions or seasonal designs. Decals are generally designed for semi-permanent or long-term window signage solutions.
The final appearance of opaque window clings and opaque window decals are very similar. Both window display options use beautiful, full-color printing technology and show excellent design quality.
