Clear Labels / Transparent Labels on Rolls
Digitally printed transparent labels on rolls. Choose from a shiny gloss finish or a frosted matt finish. Full colour printing including options for white ink.
Clear Labels (also referred to as transparent labels) are a hardwearing, waterproof label product with no coloured background. These are great for printing complex shaped logos onto simple shapes such as circle, oval, square or rectangle, as non-printed areas will show through the colour of the surface the sticker is applied to. Our clear label products are available in any shape and any size from a small 20 x 20mm up to 310 x 200mm.

Please Note: The ink used to print on this product is a glossy ink. If you choose our matt finish material the printed parts will appear glossy and only the unprinted material will be matt. If you need a completely matt finish for your labels please select our matt lamination extra. We don't recommend choosing Gloss Lamination with our Frosted material as the Gloss Lamination cancels out the frosted effect.

Printing
We digitally print using a high resolution 4 colour (CMYK) process to

White Ink
For more information about printing white ink, please see our white ink page.
Pantone® Colours
If Pantone® colours are used in your design we will use the CMYK Pantone® matching system to print your stickers using CMYK inks. Please note: There are many Pantone® colours that cannot be accurately matched using CMYK colours. If you use a Pantone® colour that cannot be matched it will be converted to the closest CMYK colour available. If printing on a material colour other than white, the colour or effect of the material may affect the final printed colour.

Product FAQs
- How are the clear labels supplied?
Clear labels are supplied on rolls.
All of our labels on rolls are supplied on cardboard cores ready for you to peel and apply. The cardboard cores have an inner diameter of 76mm. The width of the rolls will vary depending on the size of your label and unless your label is very large, you will receive more than one roll to make up the total quantity. For example, if you ordered 1000 small (20 x 20mm) labels you would receive 4 rolls of 250 labels each. If you need a custom rotation or orientation for your labels on rolls, you can chose this when you place your order.
- Can clear labels be laminated?
Yes, there is an option when ordering clear labels to choose lamination. Lamination increases the rigidity of the label as well as adding extra protection against scratching, abrasion and UV light.
- What's the difference between matt clear and gloss clear?
Matt clear has a less noticable frosted-effect shine with slightly flatter looking colours. Gloss clear has a bright white reflection with more vibrant, shiny colours.
- What is the minimum and maximum size for a clear label?
Minimum size: 20 x 20mm
Maximum size: 310 x 200mm
Radius corners: Optional- What shapes can I choose from?
Our label products are available in almost any shape you can think of. On our website you can choose from: Rectangle, Square, Circle, Diamond and Oval. Once you have chosen your shape you will have full control of the width, height and corner radius (if applicable) to tailor it to your requirements.
If you would like to specify a custom shape or have the label contour-cut around the edge of your design / logo, you can choose "Custom" as the shape when ordering and upload your file(s) online. You can then add the product to your shopping cart, checkout online and our graphic designers will create an artwork for you to approve before payment.
