What Are Custom Clear Stickers?
The custom clear stickers are printed using white ink behind the submitted design, thus help to preserve the opacity. These stickers are ideal for windows, bottles, product labels, and products. You can promote your business using custom clear stickers and can also use them for window signage. They can help you with brand recall, brand strengthening, and brand awareness. These stickers, when properly crafted, can last for years and help promote your brand.
Custom Clear Stickers And Optimal Shape Selection
Are you not sure about the shape that will be ideal for your brand logo or brand name? We’ve got you covered with our list of things to consider when selecting the optimal shape for your custom clear sticker given below;
What Will The Custom Clear Sticker Feature?
Will your custom clear stickers feature your brand logo, or are you opting for typography? If you want to feature both, you will have to select a larger shape and size. You should consider the design’s width and height for selecting which shape will suit it better. As a rule of thumb, the square is ideal for small and minimalistic designs, the rectangle offers extra width enabling you to adjust the text, and the circle or oval is best-suited to logos of similar form.
Where Will The Stickers Be Used?
Do you plan on using your custom clear sticker as a product, or are they going to be incorporated into your packaging as a packaging label? If you have a particular surface application in mind already, then it is important to measure the area’s dimensions and to ensure that the shape and size you choose for your stickers aren’t too big or too small for the said area.
Going For A Colored Background?
Will your sticker be contrasting the applied area? A square or a rectangular shape will stand out, given that your design features a colored background. On the other hand, the circle or oval shape can be used to complement printed typography or logo.

How To Design Captivating Artwork For Your Custom Clear Sticker
If you want your customers to notice your stickers, you have to ensure that your custom clear stickers feature artwork that is alluring and enticing. The following can help you effectively design your artwork to have a greater impact on your customers;
Getting The Shape & Size Right
We suggest that you use a ruler or tape measure to get the surface’s width and height where you will be applying your custom clear stickers and ensure that your sticker size is a bit smaller than this. The shape of the sticker primarily depends on where you wish to place the stickers.
Material Selection Is Crucial
Each material offers different pros, and that’s why selecting the right material for your custom clear stickers is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. When you reach out to GoTo Packaging, our packaging experts will help you select the optimal material for your stickers.
Fonts & Colors Used Should Be Brand Specific
It is important to ensure that your custom clear stickers feature colors and fonts that are synonymous with your brand colors and fonts. That’s the only way you can use these stickers to help your customers with brand recall. Bear in mind that light-colored text looks best on a dark background and vice versa.
Avoid Using Low-Resolution Images
Why? Because the low-resolution images will be blurry once they have been printed onto the sticker. You should always opt for high-definition images to ensure that your printed stickers look crisp with high print quality.
Ensure Bleed To Achieve A Cleaner Look
It is strongly recommended that you extend your background beyond the cut line, thus preventing the thin white edges from showing. It is especially advised for stickers that are cut to size because the cutting machines could end up with slight differences in cuts.
