Put Your Message Right On the Glass
Turn a plain pane of glass into signage without blocking the light. A clear window decal is see-through, so your logo and text sit right on the window while daylight still comes through around them, and it clings by static instead of glue, going up clean and peeling off later without residue. A single 11" x 17" print starts at $30, rated 4.6 out of 5 across 23 reviews, and whether you are marking store hours on a front door, branding a glass office partition, or running a sale message across a storefront, it puts your message exactly where people already look.
These decals earn their keep because they work with the glass, not against it. You can browse the full range on window clings printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below. If you want an opaque version that the light does not pass through, the White Window Clings print on solid white film instead.
The price starts at $30 for one 11" x 17" decal, the default size, and you can order any quantity from 1 to 100 in a single run. From there the total follows the size you choose, whether you add a white ink layer, and how fast you need it, and every change shows live before you commit.
What Are Clear Window Decals?
Clear window decals are graphics printed on clear window cling film that stick to glass with static, no adhesive, and let light pass through the transparent areas around your design. At 4OVER4.COM they print full color in 20 sizes, from 11" x 17" up to a custom 40" x 60", with an optional white ink layer and a choice of two print directions, all set in the live configurator.
Because the film is transparent, a clear decal reads like it was printed straight onto the window while the store behind it stays bright. Shops reach for them for hours-of-operation notices, sale announcements, logos on entry doors, and directional arrows, and offices use them for suite numbers and branding on glass partitions. Every decal here prints on the same clear window cling film and gets built to the exact size and print direction you pick. If you would rather the background not show through, the Clear Window Clings and White Window Clings give you the same static-cling install in other looks.
What Size Should a Clear Window Decal Be?
The right size depends on the pane and the reading distance. A door notice or a mid-size logo reads fine at the default 11" x 17". Move up to 12" x 18", 16" x 20", or 18" x 24" for a headline someone can read from the sidewalk. There are 20 preset sizes in all, and the material, the turnaround tiers, and the accepted file types are laid out below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. When none of the presets matches your glass, set a custom size right up to a large 40" x 60" panel, made to order.

Wally puts your logo right on the glass
Why a $30 clear decal reads bold on a window and still lets the light through.
A clear window decal starts at $30 for an 11 by 17 inch print on see-through cling film, and Wally can add a white ink layer so your colors stay bold against the street behind the glass. Pick a size up to 40 by 60 inches, choose reverse or regular print, and Wally gets it to your window fast, same-day when the deadline is tight.
How to Measure Your Window Before You Order
Measure the glass, not the frame. A tape run across the outside of the frame adds the sash and the gasket to your number, and a decal cut to that number will not fit the pane it was meant for.
- Measure the visible glass, edge to edge. Width first, then height, in inches, at the point where the glass disappears into the frame.
- Decide what the mullions do. If a center bar or a grid divides the window, keep the art inside one pane. Type that crosses a bar breaks apart when someone reads it from the sidewalk, and a logo split by a mullion never lines back up.
- Take about 2 inches off each dimension. Old glass is rarely square and frames are rarely centered. That margin is what hides the difference and keeps the decal from running off the edge.
- Round down to a size on the list. If your number falls between two of the 20 sizes, order the smaller one. A decal that floats inside the glass reads as deliberate; one that touches the frame reads as a mistake.
- Go custom only when nothing fits. Custom sizing runs up to a 40" x 60" panel, and it needs the exact width and height you measured, not the rounded figure.
Two more things worth checking with the tape still in your hand: how far back the reader stands, because a decal read from across a parking lot needs bigger type than one read at the door, and whether anything on the inside of the glass, a shelf, a display back or a security sensor, sits where your artwork wants to be.
How Much Do Clear Window Decals Cost?
Clear window decals start at $30 for one 11" x 17" print, the default size, and you can order any quantity from 1 to 100. A larger panel, a white ink underprint, or a rush turnaround each move the total, and you see every change in real time. Because you can order anywhere from 1 to 100 in a run, a one-off door sign and a full set of storefront graphics both fit the same order.
Should You Add a White Ink Layer?
This is the choice that makes or breaks a clear decal. Because the film is see-through, ink alone can look washed out against a bright window or a busy street. A white ink layer, printed as a spot or 5th color, lays a solid white base behind your colors first, so reds stay red and a logo reads crisp instead of ghosted. Leave the white off when you want a tint-only, stained-glass effect where the view shows through the art. Turn it on when the design needs to stand clear against whatever is behind the glass.
The short rule: white ink is what makes color opaque on see-through film, so the decision follows what sits behind the glass. Ask for the white layer on dark tinted or reflective windows, on any glass with a shadowed interior behind it, and on brand colors that have to match a printed sign nearby. Without white behind them, those inks go transparent against the dark and the design reads as a grey smudge from the street. Skip the white layer when see-through is the point and you want daylight coming through the art, when the design is solid black or a very dark color that already holds its own against daylight, and when the decal sits on plain untinted glass with a bright, lit room behind it.
Which Way Should Your Decal Face?
Because a clear decal goes on the inside of the window, the print direction decides who can read it. Pick reverse print, inside glass facing out, for storefront signage, hours, and logos that customers read from the sidewalk while the film stays protected behind the glass. Pick regular print, inside glass facing in, for a message aimed at people in the room, like a conference-room label or a graphic for the office side. Same decal, two mounting options, so your message points the right way.
How Do Clear Window Decals Compare?
Clear window decals are the see-through pick, but they are one of several window graphics in the lineup. If you are weighing a clear cling, a white cling, or a seasonal design, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up clear window decals against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
Clear Decals, Vinyl Lettering or Window Clings
Three different products get called a window sticker, and they behave nothing alike once they are on the glass.
| What you are choosing | Clear window decal | Cut vinyl lettering | Window cling |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it holds | Static cling on clear film, no glue, so it goes up dry | Adhesive backed vinyl, every letter and shape stuck down on its own | Static cling as well, usually on thinner film meant to be swapped often |
| What it can carry | Full color art, photos and gradients, with white ink behind them when you need opacity | Solid single color shapes and type only, no photographs and no gradients | Full color art on film built for short stretches of use |
| How permanent it is | Holds through a season or a promotion, and lifts and repositions if you get it crooked | The long stay option, meant to sit until someone scrapes it off | The most temporary of the three, up and down in days or weeks |
| Taking it down | Peels away clean with no adhesive left on the glass | Blade, heat and adhesive remover, letter by letter | Lifts with a fingernail, stores flat and can go back up later |
| Best use | Logos, hours, offers and full color window art | A door number, opening hours, a storefront name that never changes | Seasonal and holiday graphics you already plan to take down |
The practical split: if the artwork has a photograph, a gradient or more than two colors in it, cut vinyl cannot reproduce it and the decal is your piece. If the message will still be true in three years, cut vinyl is the cheaper long game. If it comes down after the holiday, buy the cling.
