Clear stickers and white ink: why it matters

Ordering clear stickers for bottles, glass or packaging? We help decide whether white ink is useful for keeping your colours, logo and text visible.

What happens on dark packaging?

Without white backing, pale colours and small details may be difficult to read on dark glass or coloured packaging.

Check a mock-up on the actual surface rather than only on a white screen.

How should artwork be supplied?

Identify the parts that should remain transparent and the areas needing white ink. Some methods require a dedicated white layer or spot colour.

Confirm file specifications before production and consider a proof for critical colour coverage.

Quote checklist

  • What surface will the sticker go on?
  • What conditions will it face?
  • What size and quantity do you need?
  • Which material properties can be verified?

We help align material and production specifications with your particular project when preparing your quote.
