What’s the difference between a clear decal and lettering?

Both clear decal prints and vinyl lettering prints are excellent choices, but have distinct styles that give off a specific vibe. 

We've decided to describe both to help you make an informed decision. 

Clear Decal Prints  

A clear decal sticker is printed with a large, intact backing regardless of the shape of the design. 

Our clear glass stickers come in four shapes:

1. Square/Rectangle 

2. Rounded 

3. Outline (cut in the shape of the design) 

4. Overline (shape of the design with a border around it) 

Clear decal prints also come in standard and inside glass options. 

Standard Clear Decal Prints: The adhesive material on these prints exists behind the design. They have a matte finish and the image faces forward. 

Inside-Glass Clear Decal Prints: The adhesive material on these prints exists in front of the design, or “mirror-printed.” The reason for this is so that you can stick the material from the inside of your surface with the graphic facing outward. 

Vinyl Lettering Prints 

Our vinyl lettering prints come in self-adhesive roles that can be cut into any shape or size.

We offer them in three styles:

1. White vinyl lettering: Opaque white with full color graphics 

2. Clear vinyl lettering: Transparent with a second-surface printing and mirror image design. 

3. Frosted vinyl lettering: Semi-transparent surface and blurred from both sides. 

Vinyl lettering can be applied on window glass, metal, plastic, and other smooth surfaces.
